Describe how you would assess whether a patient was suppressing an eye.
Check if Vas are equal/ history of amblyopia/strabismus/surgery/patching/cover test are
all useful factors to consider. Main test of suppression is worths 4 dot- if only 2-3 dots
are seen then one eye is supressed i.e eye with red filter should see green dots, eye
with green filter shot see red dot/ if unavailable can use mallet unit- polarisation filter
means one eye sees 12 and 3 o'clock lines, one eye sees 6 and 9 o'clock lines. If one
eye is suppressed only 2 of the four lines will be visible.
Dry eye is a common disorder of the tear film caused by tear deficiency or
excessive tear evaporation. What are the major causes of dry eye and how should
dry eye be assessed?
Causes of dry eye are related to:
• poor tear quality; i.e deficient lipid layer (MGD dysfunction- cause of 50% of dry eye),
deficient mucous layer (e.g stevens-johnson syndrome which effects goblet cells)
• insufficient tear production
• environmental factors (e.g VDU users, contact lens wearer, air conditioning)
• systemic disease (e.g sjogrens syndrome)
• lid anomalies (e.g ectropion, bells palsy where there is not a complete blink)
Ways dry eye can be assessed:
TBUT- instill fluorescein and observe using slit lamp
NITBUT- oberve distortion of keratometer mires
Schirmer
Phenol red thread
