Cards

Term
Precorneal Film Composition
Definition
external layer-lipid from beibomian gland
central layer-aqueous from lacrimal gland
inner layer-mucous from goblet cells
Term
Cornea
Definition
clear, nonkeratinized, nonpigmented epithelium
avascular stroma
enodthelial Na/K pumps out water to prevent edema
Term
Dermoid
Definition
normal hair on skin growth on the eye
Failure of epidermal differentiation to cornea
Clinical significance depends on amount of irritation
Term
Superficial Ulceration
Definition
just within corneal epithelium
does not go through basal layer or into stroma
will not stain yellow
Term
Florescent Dye
Definition
hydrophilic stain
Corneal epithelium is hydrophobic which will repel the dye
Corneal stroma is hydrophilic which will retain the dye
Desmanes membrane is hydrophobic, so if have total loss of stroma which will repel the dye
Term
Deep Ulceration
Definition
ulceration into corneal stroma
will stain
Term
Descemetocele
Definition
ulceration to desmanes membrane
last layer before perforation of eye
will not stain
Term
Phthisis bulbi
Definition
a shrunken, non-functional eye that results from severe ocular disease, inflammation, or injury
Term
Keratitis
Definition
inflammation of the cornea
causes vascularization, scarring, descmetocele, uveitis
Term
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca
Definition
Abnormality in tear production
Term
Ocular Sequestrum
Definition
Isolated fragment of chronic avascular stroma
often due to corneal ulceration healing
Term
Pannus
Definition
Chronic Superficial Keratitis
Responsive to immunotherapy
immune mediated often seen in dogs
Term
Persistent Ulcer
Definition
ulceration that tries to heal
basal cells never attack to stroma
epithelium remains disoragnized
florescent dye would leak underneath
Term
Infectious Keratoconjunctivitis
Definition
aka pink eye
caused by moraxella bovis
melting of corneal stroma due to bacterial enzymes
Term
Cataract
Definition
increased opacity in the lens
diabetes, insult, post inflammation
Term
Persistent Pupillary Membrane
Definition
remnants of a fetal membrane that persist as strands of tissue crossing the pupil
Term
Uveitis
Definition
swelling and irritation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye
Term
Anterior Uveitis
Definition
an inflammation of the middle layer of the eye, which includes the iris (colored part of the eye) and adjacent tissue, known as the ciliary body
Term
Chorioretinitis
Definition
an inflammation of the choroid (thin pigmented vascular coat of the eye) and retina of the eye
Term
Endopthalmitis
Definition
an inflammatory condition of the intraocular cavities (ie, the aqueous and/or vitreous humor)
Term
Panopthalmitis
Definition
the inflammation of all coats of the eye including intraocular structures
Term
Anterior Synechia
Definition
iris is attached to posterior surface of cornea
Term
Posterior Synechia
Definition
iris is attached to the lens
Term
Sequelae to Uveitis
Definition
corneal edema
glaucoma
synechia
retinal detachment
phthisis bulbi
Term
Lesions of Glaucoma
Definition
innter retinal atrophy
corneal edema
corneal striae
cataracts
optic nerve atrophy and cupping
ciliary process atrophy
