A

amblyopia

2

entornar los ojos, entrecerrar los ojos

8
Q

droopy eyelid

A

ptosis, párpado caído

9
Q

stye

A

orzuelo

10
Q

Meibomian gland (Sp.)

A

glándula de Meibomio = glándula tarsal

11
Q

Meibomian gland (is….)

A

tarsal glands sit inside the eyelid and make meibum, an oily substance that traps the watery tear layer. Modified sebaceous glands.

12
Q

chalasion

A

calacio / chalazión (not orzuelo)

13
Q

eye crust

A

legaña

14
Q

4 Refractive Media of the Eye

A

Cornea / Aqueous humor / Lens / Vitreous Humor

15
Q

cornea

A

córnea

16
Q

aqueous humor

A

humor acuoso

17
Q

where the aqueous humor is contained

A

anterior chamber of the eye

18
Q

the cornea has no blood vessels, it’s transparent. it gets oxygen….

A

directly from the air. it breathes. that’s why soft contact lenses are gas-permeable.

19
Q

lens

A

cristalino

20
Q

vitreous humor

A

humor vítreo

21
Q

stroma (of the iris (is…)

A

the filamentous layer of the iris that pulls the pupil open/closed

22
Q

pupil vs. iris

A

optically, the pupil is the aperture and the iris is the diaphragm that controls how much light gets in

23
Q

what color is the pupil?

A

black

24
Q

what color is the iris?

A

any color, it’s the pretty part

25
Q

what color is the sclera?

A

white

26
Q

what color is the cornea?

A

it’s transparent!

27
Q

vitreous humor (is…)

A

99% water, jelly-like, and not continually replaced like the aqueous humor is.

28
Q

hyaloid canal (is…)

A

a canal that runs through the vitreous humor from optic nerve to lens. before birth it contains the hyaloid artery which suppies the developing lens, which later disappears

29
Q

lens (is…)

A

highly elastic, changes shape which is how you focus

30
Q

presbyopia (is…)

A

age-related changes in the eye’s lens: flattened, harder, stiffer, yellower. makes it harder to focus because it can’t change shape

31
Q

cataract (is…)

A

when the lens loses transparency and becomes cloudy

32
Q

German Measles

A

can cause congenital glaucoma and congenital cataracts

33
Q

lens (Sp.)

A

el cristalino

34
Q

pterygium (Surfer’s Eye)

A

pterigión

35
Q

pupil

A

la pupila

36
Q

zónula

A

Zinn’s membrane, ciliary zonule

37
Q

ciliary glands (are)

A

modified sweat glands around the eyelid. aka Glands of Moll

38
Q

Glands of Zeis

A

are also modified sebaceous glands

39
Q

ciliary ligament

A

unlike the ciliary glands, these are inside the eye

40
Q

hordeolum

A

stye

41
Q

stye vs. chalazion

A

chaliazia are infections of the tarsal glands (Meibomian). styes are infections of the glands of Moll (ciliary) or Zeis.
styes tend to hurt vs. chalazia tend not to.

42
Q

cycloplegic drops

A

what they use to dilate the pupil during eye exams, usually Tropicamide

43
Q

accommodation

A

ability of the eye to focus

44
Q

cycloplegia

A

paralysis of the ciliary muscle, which holds and adjusts the lens. results in loss of accomodation, aka blurry vision.

45
Q

pilocarpine

A

used to treat glaucoma

46
Q

miosis

A

constriction of the pupil

47
Q

mydriasis

A

dilation fo the pupil

48
Q

anisocoria

A

pupils are of unequal openness

49
Q

glaucoma (is)

A

increased pressure of the aqueous humor, which is constantly produced, replaced, drained. it can put pressure on the rest of the eye and damage the retina.
