25 Questions

1. a thickening of the connective tissue on the sides of the cornea at 3 & 9 o'clock; gives a slightly yellowish cast to the sides of the eye, or reddish if irritated

2. caused by mechanical stimulation of the nerves in the retina, may be observed when patients rub their eyes with moderate pressure

3. bacterial infection, viral infection, or fungal infection; allergies also account for many cases

4. the part of the retina responsible for sharp, clear central vision breaks down with advancing age, leading to permanent loss of central vision; leading source of irreversible blindness

5. caused by debris in the tears and in the vitreous humor

6. tiny blood vessels between the sclera and conjunctiva rupture where blood is trapped; looks dramatic as blood-red spots in the eye but is painless and rarely of any consequence

7. new blood vessels are fragile and may leak or break causing scarring, hemorrhage, and retinal detachment leading to permanent vision loss

8. a condition in which the optic nerve is damaged from increased ocular pressure

9. excessive new blood vessel growth in the retina due to poor blood circulation

10. redness, swelling of, and/or discharge from one or both eyes

11. the receptors at the back of the eye pull away from the rest of the eyeball; without surgery, permanent vision loss will occur

12. an eye misalignment (strabismus) in which one or both eyes turn outward

13. stye; basically a pimple on the eyelid

14. the absence of the lens of the eye, due to surgical removal, a perforating wound or ulcer, or congenital anomaly causing a loss of accommodation, farsightedness (hyperopia), and a deep anterior chamber

15. dramatic presentation with a painful 'hot' red eye, blurry vision, nausea and vomiting; more rare than other forms

16. inflammation of the conjunctiva (pink eye/red eye)

17. condition in which the eyes make repetitive, uncontrolled movements, often resulting in reduced vision; cannot be cured

18. a small lump (granuloma) left behind when an hordeolum resolves, often when the hordeolum is recurrent

19. hardening and discoloration of the crystalline lens due to age

20. idiopathic (no known reason), painless, present with higher-than-normal intraocular pressure; inadequate blood flow to the retina leads to permanent vision loss

21. the cornea thins and bulges forward causing irregular focus on the retina resulting in decreased vision; may require corneal transplant to clear vision

22. an eye misalignment (strabismus) in which one or both eyes turn inward

23. idiopathic (no known reason), painless, normal intraocular pressure; damage to the retina leads to permanent vision loss

24. abnormal growth of tissue on the conjunctiva with the ability to invade the cornea

25. inflammation of the eyelids
