2.Glaucoma- 16% of blindness
3.Cataract-11% of blindness
3. Diabetic retinopathy (+ other= 20%)- Most common cause of visual impairment in working age
population
4. 3% uncorrected refractive error
Developing countries -uncorrected refractive errors, cataract- unavailable surgery, trachoma- river
water parasite, glaucoma

Discuss the indications for gonioscopic assessment of a patients' anterior chamber angle. Describe the
structures you will see if the angle is open. (Open to closed)
increased IOPs, CAG symptoms, retinal vein/artery occlusions, pseudoexfoliation/PDS, pxs with
glaucoma, anterior uveitis pxs with inc. IOPs, before dilation if van herick < grade 2
Central visual field testing has an important role in the diagnosis of glaucoma.
What type of central field test would you use for a patient who was a glaucoma suspect?
How would you determine whether the test was reliable?
What information would you concentrate on in the printout to help decide as to whether the patient
had glaucoma?
Humphreys visual field analyser- c24-2 full threshold
, Glaucoma hemifield test, total deviation, pattern deviation type of loss present- paracentral, arcuate,
nasal step, generalised depression, temporal wedge
Discuss the ophthalmic drugs most commonly used for dilation. Include in your answer their mode of
action, duration and side effects. What patients should not be dilated?
Tropicamide 1%< anticholinergic, 4-6 hours risk of CAG, blurred vision,photophobia
Cylopentalate 1%< anticholinergic - 12-24hours risk of CAG, blurred vision,photophobia
Atropine 1%<
Homatropine 2%<
Pxs with iris fixed IOLs or pxs at risk of angle closure, pxs with known allergies to mydriatic agents,
downs syndrome pxs?
Define stereopsis. How would you measure stereopsis? What are normal values?
the perception of depth produced by the reception in the brain of visual stimuli from both eyes in

TNO dependent on age

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)
