questions with answers |\ |\
Anterior Chamber - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔-Part of the Anterior
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Eye Segment that extends from the iris to the cornea
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Anterior Segment - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔-The front of the eye
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
that extends from the lens to the cornea & contains the anterior
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
& posterior chambers
|\ |\
Posterior Chamber - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The part of the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
anterior segment of the eye between the lens and the iris
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Posterior Segment - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔-The entire back part
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
of the eye from the lens to the area of the sclera where the optic
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
nerve leaves the eye
|\ |\ |\ |\
Miosis - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔-Pupil constriction
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
-Opening becomes smaller letting less light in the eye
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Mydriasis - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔-Pupil Dilation
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
-Opening becomes larger letting more light in the eye
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Intraocular Pressure (IOP) - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔-The fluid
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
pressure inside the eyeball that helps to maintain the correct
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
shape of the eye |\ |\ |\
,Normal Range for Intraocular Pressure? - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔10 to 20 mm Hg |\ |\ |\ |\
Aqueous humor - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔-The clear fluid made
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
continuously by the ciliary body that circulates from the posterior |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
chamber throught the pupil & into the anterior chamber, where
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
it then drains to the Travecular network and through the Canal of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Schlemm, returning it to the blood |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
-Located in the Anterior Segment |\ |\ |\ |\
Vitreous Body - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔-Gel in the posterior
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
segment
Glaucoma - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔-A condition of increased |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
intraocular pressure caused by an increase in the amount of |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
aqueous humor |\
What is the most common type of glaucoma? - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWERS ✔✔-Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma |\ |\ |\
Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔-Chronic
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
problem in which aqueous humor is not reabsorbed well because
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
of thickening of blood vessels in the trabecular meshwork
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
-No pain or other warning signs
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
What are some causes of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma? -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔-Increased age |\ |\ |\
, -Blockage of Central Eye Vein |\ |\ |\ |\
-Diabetes
-Heredity
-Hypertension
-Severe Nearsightedness |\
Acute Closed-Angle Glaucoma - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔-Sudden
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
movement of the iris forward against the cornea, preventing fluid
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
in the posterior chamber from reaching the anterior chamber
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
where reabsorption occurs
|\ |\
-Usually occurs only in one eye with pain around the eye,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
headache, N&V |\
-Sight in the affected eye is rapidly reduced
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
-Emergency!
What are some causes of Acute Closed-Angle Glaucoma? -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔-Head or eye trauma|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
-Moving from low-light area to an area with extremely bright light
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Secondary Glaucoma - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔-Caused by
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
another problem in the eye|\ |\ |\ |\
-Usually when the other problem is treated successfully,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
glaucoma is reduced or may completely go away
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
What are some causes of Secondary Glaucoma? - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWERS ✔✔-Blood Vessel Disease |\ |\ |\
