  30. Red Eye Questions • An 81 year old man is admitted to hospital with nausea and vomiting. On examination the right eye looks red and the pupil is dilated fixed and oval in shape. He complains of severe pain around the eye and sees rings of light around bright objects. • Acute Anterior Uveitis • Acute Glaucoma • Blepharitis • Conjunctivitis • Episcleritis

  31. Red Eye Questions 2. A 30 year old man with ankylosingspondylitis complains of a painful eye with reduced vision.

  40. Cataract

  41. Cataract • Cataract = lens opacity • Account for 40% global blindness • Can be congenital or acquired • Main risk factor = AGE • Cataracts are present in : • 16% age 65-69 • 71% age >85 • Other Risk factors: • Sunlight • Smoking • Alcohol • Dehydration • Radiation • Corticosteroids • Diabetes Mellitus • Trauma

  42. Signs and Symptoms • Reduced vision • near / distance / both (what daily activities?) • Glare • oncoming headlights • Myopic shift • ‘second sight’ • monocular diplopia • when lens changes occur differentially within lens

  43. Nuclear Sclerotic Cataract

  44. Cortical Cataract

  45. Clinical Evaluation • What is the cause of the cataract? • Does the amount of lens opacity correspond to the degree of visual impairment? • Is the patients ability to function sufficiently educed to warrant surgery? • What is the prognosis for improvement of vision? • Are there any ocular/systemic considerations? • Does the patient want surgery

  46. Functional Considerations • Legal or corporate requirements for vision • Driving • car • bus • HGV • Flying • Other mechanical equipment • Personal

  47. Glaucoma

  48. Glaucoma • Group of diseases • Primary open angle is the commonest in the UK • POAG asymptomatic • Often picked up by routine optometric examination • May or may not have raised IOP • Characterised by optic nerve and visual field changes

  49. Glaucomatous disc • Enlarged cup:disc ratio • asymmetry in cup size • loss of neuroretinal rim • loss of ISNT rule • laminar dots • bayonetting of vessels • Disc margin Haems • Peripapillary atrophy
