Corneal graft (keratoplasty): Surgery to buy 400mg avelox mastercard restore vision by replacing a section of opaque cornea generic 400 mg avelox otc, either involving the full thickness of the cornea (penetrating keratoplasty) or only a superficial layer (lamellar keratoplasty) 400 mg avelox otc. Cycloplegic: A drug that temporarily relaxes the ciliary muscle, paralyzing accommodation. Cylindrical lens: A segment of a cylinder, the refractive power of which varies in different meridians. Diopter: Unit of measurement that refers to the strength of refractive power in lenses or prisms. Drusen: Small round yellow spots in or around the macula just outside the pigment epithelium. When in the optic nerve head, drusen appear as bumpy excrescences, which should not be confused with papilledema. Episcleritis: Benign inflammation of the tissue between the conjunctiva and sclera. Exenteration: Removal of the entire contents of the orbit, including the eyeball and lids. Glaucoma: Disease usually caused by elevated intraocular pressure, resulting in optic atrophy and loss of visual field. Gonioscopy: A technique of examining the anterior angle, using a special corneal contact lens. Hyperopia, hypermetropia (farsightedness): A refractive error in which the focal point of light rays from a distant object is behind the retina. Hypertropia: A misalignment of the eyes whereby the visual axis of one eye is higher than the fellow fixating eye. Keratomalacia: Softening of the cornea, usually associated with vitamin A deficiency. Lacrimal sac: the dilated area at the junction of the nasolacrimal duct and the canaliculi. The round or somewhat oval avascular center of the retina used for central vision. Myokymia: Twitching of eyelids, usually a benign transient condition, probably related to fatigue or tension. Myopia (nearsightedness): A refractive error in which the focal point for light rays from a distant object is anterior to the retina. Oculist: An outdated term for ophthalmologist, a physician who is a specialist in diseases of the eye. Ophthalmoscope: An instrument with a special illumination system for viewing the inside of the eye, particularly the retina and associated structures. Optician: A person who makes or deals in glasses or other optical instruments and who fills prescriptions for glasses. Photocoagulation: A method, usually involving a laser, to artificially burn the retina and choroid for treatment of certain types of retinal disorders such as diabetic retinopathy or retinal detachment. Photopsia: Appearance of flashes or sparks within the eye due to irritation of the retina, usually caused by the vitreous pulling on it. Phthisis bulbi: Atrophy of the eyeball with blindness and decreased intraocular pressure, due to end? Pinguecula: A benign, usually yellowish, soft, slightly elevated area found typically nasal to the cornea, less often lateral. Posterior chamber: Space filled with aqueous, anterior to the lens and posterior to the iris. Presbyopia: Blurred near vision (old sight) usually evident after age 40, due to reduction in the ability of the lens to accommodate. Pseudophakia: Presence of an artificial intraocular lens implant following cataract extraction. Pterygium: A growth of tissue (usually triangular) that extends from the conjunctiva over the cornea.

Optokinetic nystagmus asymmetry characteristically occurs in parietal lesions but not in occipital lesions buy generic avelox 400mg. An asymmetric optokinetic nystagmus combined with an occipital visual field defect indicates a process not respecting vascular territories 400 mg avelox with mastercard, and thus suggests a tumor (Cogan sign) purchase avelox with mastercard. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, which can be due to severe systemic hypertension, such as in eclampsia, diabetic hyperglycemia, or drugs, including cyclosporin and tacrolimus, characteristically involves the posterior cerebral hemispheres, causing homonymous hemianopia, or even cortical blindness, and visual perceptual abnormalities. Axial computed tomography showing occipital hematoma (arrow) resulting from a bleeding arteriovenous malformation. Axial magnetic resonance imaging of parietal meningioma with secondary cerebral edema. The normal pupillary diameter is 3?4 mm, is smaller in infancy, and tends to be larger in childhood and again progressively smaller with advancing age. Pupillary size 665 relates to varying interactions between the parasympathetically (third nerve) innervated iris sphincter muscle that causes constriction (miosis) and the sympathetically innervated iris dilator muscle that causes dilation (mydriasis), with supranuclear control from the frontal (alertness) and occipital lobes (accommodation). Thirty percent of normal patients have a slight difference in pupil size (physiologic anisocoria), usually less than 1 mm. Whereas previously retinal photoreceptors were thought to be the sole receptors for the pupillary light reflex, intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells in the inner retina are now known to be involved. The intensity of the response in each eye is proportionate to the light-carrying ability of the directly stimulated optic nerve. Pupillary Near Response When the eyes look at a near object, three responses occur?accommodation to focus on the object, convergence so that both eyes are directed at the target, and miosis of the pupils. Although the three components are closely associated, the near response is not a pure reflex, as each component can be neutralized while leaving the other two intact?that is, by lenses (neutralizing accommodation), by prisms (neutralizing convergence), and by weak pupil-dilating (mydriatic) drugs (neutralizing miosis). It can be elicited in a blind person by asking the person to look at his thumb while it is held in front of his nose. If an optic nerve lesion is present, the 667 pupillary light response (both the direct response in the stimulated eye and the consensual response in the fellow eye) is less intense when the involved eye is stimulated than when the normal eye is stimulated. It is made more obvious by alternate stimulation of one eye then the other ensuring that the intensity and duration of stimulation of each eye are the same (swinging penlight test). It will be present also if there is a large retinal or severe macular lesion, but even dense cataract does not impair the pupillary light response. Absolute afferent pupillary defect is the absence of pupillary response to light stimulation of a completely blind (amaurotic) eye. Light shone into the normal eye would still induce a consensual response in the blind eye (Figure 14?34). An afferent pupillary defect can still be identified if one pupil is either not visible, due to corneal disease, or is unable to respond due to structural damage or damage to its innervation, for example, third nerve palsy, by examination of the normal pupil as light is shone into the normal and then into the abnormal eye. This is most commonly due to an afferent pupillary defect (such as in optic nerve disease) because the pupillary light reflex to stimulation of the affected eye is reduced but the near response is normal. It occurs also in lesions of the ciliary ganglion or of the midbrain, in which the light reflex pathway is relatively dorsal and the near response pathway relatively ventral. Causes include tonic pupil (see later in the chapter), midbrain tumors and infarcts, diabetes, chronic alcoholism, encephalitis, and central nervous system degenerative disease. Argyll Robertson pupils, which are usually bilateral, are typically small (less than 3 mm in diameter), commonly irregular and eccentric, do not respond to light stimulation but do respond to a near stimulus, and dilate poorly with mydriatics as a consequence of concomitant iris atrophy. The pattern of recovery is influenced by fibers in the short ciliary nerves subserving the near response outnumbering those subserving the light reflex by 30:1. Accommodation usually recovers fully, but incomplete reinnervation of the iris results in segmental iris constriction and pupillary light 669 near dissociation. Subsequent involvement of the other eye over a period of 10 years occurs in 50% of individuals, but bilateral tonic pupils may be due to autonomic neuropathy. The sympathetic fibers then follow the nasociliary branch of the ophthalmic division of the fifth nerve and the long ciliary nerves to the iris and innervate Muller muscle and the iris dilator. Sweating on the ipsilateral face and neck is reduced in central and preganglionic lesions, whereas it is normal in postganglionic lesions because the relevant nerve fibers follow the external rather than the internal carotid artery. Birth trauma is a commonly identified cause, and neuroblastoma is occasionally responsible. Hydroxyamphetamine drops differentiate central and preganglionic from postganglionic lesions, but they are difficult to obtain.

Neomycin is usually combined with some other drug to buy line avelox widen its spectrum of activity buy avelox 400mg mastercard. Contact skin sensitivity develops in 5% of patients if the drug is continued for longer than a week order avelox 400mg overnight delivery. For treatment of keratitis, 1 drop every hour during the day and every 2 hours during the night for 48 hours, then gradually reducing. For 944 treatment of keratitis, 1 drop every hour during the day and every 2 hours during the night for 48 hours, then gradually reducing. Polymyxin B Preparations: Ointment, 10,000 U/g, in combination with bacitracin (Duospore, Polysporin) or bacitracin and neomycin (Neocidin, Neo Polycin); solution, 10,000 U/mL, in combination with trimethoprim (Polytrim). Dosage: For treatment of conjunctivitis or blepharitis, apply ointment or drops every 3?4 hours. Comment: Polymyxin B is effective against many gram-negative organisms but not gram-positive, hence the need for combination with other drugs. For treatment of keratitis, initially 1 drop every hour during the day and every 2 hours during the night, then gradually reducing. Tetracyclines Preparations: Suspension, 1%; ointment, 1% (Achromycin [not available in United States], Aureomycin [not available in United States], Ocudox Convenience Kit). Dosage: For treatment of conjunctivitis or blepharitis, apply ointment or drops every 3?4 hours. Comment: Use generally limited to treatment of chlamydial conjunctivitis and for prophylaxis of ophthalmia neonatorum. Comment: Similar antimicrobial activity to gentamicin but more effective against streptococci. Best reserved for treatment of Pseudomonas keratitis, for which it is more effective. Usual Adult Dose of Selected Antimicrobials for Intraocular Infection 946 Cefuroxime Preparation: Powder for solution, 50 mg (Aprokam [not available in United States]). The adult doses of agents for fungal intraocular infections are detailed in Table 22?1. Dosage: Tablets 800 mg 5 times daily for 7?10 days for herpes zoster ophthalmicus; 400?800 mg 3?5 times daily for 7?21 days for herpes simplex keratitis (off-label use in United States). Ointment 5 times daily 948 for 1 week then 3 times daily for 1 week for herpes simplex keratitis. Dosage: 5 times daily for 1 week, then 3 times daily for 1 week; intravitreal implant every 5?8 months as required. The ganciclovir intravitreal insert allows treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis without the adverse effects of systemic therapy. Dosage: 1000 mg 3 times daily for 7?10 days for herpes zoster ophthalmicus; 1000?2000 mg 3 times daily for acute retinal necrosis; 500?1000 mg twice daily for 7?21 days for herpes simplex keratitis (off label use in United States). Dosage: 900 mg twice daily for 21 days of induction therapy, then once daily maintenance therapy for cytomegalovirus retinitis. Comment: Used topically for detection of corneal epithelial defects, in applanation tonometry, and in fitting contact lenses and intravenously for fluorescein angiography. Comment: For detection of ocular surface disease, better tolerated than rose bengal. These agents are particularly useful in the treatment of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (see Chapter 5). To increase viscosity and prolong corneal contact time, methylcellulose is sometimes added to eye solutions (eg, pilocarpine). Preservative-free preparations are available for use in patients with sensitivities to these substances. Preparations: Anhydrous glycerin solution (Ophthalgan); hypertonic sodium chloride 2% and 5% ointment and solution (Adsorbonac, AkNaCl, Muro-128). Tables 22?2 to 22?4 list commonly used ocular and systemic drugs and some of their possible ocular and systemic side effects. Three points in particular bear mentioning as far as side effects of ocular medications: the significance of the risk of systemic effects from topical? Examples of Adverse Systemic Effects of Topical Ocular Medications 954 Table 22?4. Plasma drug concentrations sufficient to cause systemic adrenoceptor-blocking effects can occasionally result from ocular administration of these agents.

Constriction of the pupil reflects misdirected regeneration of abducens nerve neurons into the parasympathetic pathway of the oculomotor nerve. A 9-0 Prolene suture is passed through the limbus and through the iris in line with the proposed suture tract. A bonds hook is introduced through a paracentesis and the two suture ends are drawn out through the wound. After weaving through the iris margin about three to four times, the needle is pulled out through the next paracentesis without damaging the cornea. The needle is then grasped in the same fashion and reentered into the eye through the same incision, and weaving is continued toward the next paracentesis. This may occur during phacoemulsification, usually while sculpting anteriorly if the critical distance between the phaco tip and the iris is not maintained.
