Histology
Physiology of vision
Light hits the retina
Rods are turned off
Turn bipolar cells on
Turn ganglionic cells on
On center
Off center
AMPA
mGluR6
Phototransduction cascade
Light hits rhodopsin on rods
Changes cis to trans retinal
Transducin breaks up from rhodopsin
PDE is activated to decrease cGMP
closure of Na channels -> hyper polarization
Glaucoma
Increased IOP
Causes
Excessive aqueous production
Inadequate aqueous drainage
Certain medications (STEROIDS)
Eye trauma
Symptoms
Blurred vision
Headache
Vision problems
Causes
Cataract
Refractive errors
Myopia (short sightedness)
Hypermetropia (long sightedness)
Types
Open angle
Drainage system blocked
Gradual increased IOP >21 mmHg
Optic nerve damage
Initial loss of peripheral vision then central vision will be affected
Closed angle
Lens pushing against iris
Rapid increased IOP
Abrupt onset of redness, eye pain, blurry vision
Eye tests
Visual acuity
Color vision
eye's ability to see an in-focus image at a certain distance
Refraction assessment
Fundoscopy
Tonometry
puff of air to estimate the pressure in the eye.
11-21 mmHg
evaluate the back of your eye, including the retina, the optic disk and the underlying layer of blood vessels that nourish the retina
Light waves are bent as they pass through the cornea.
Management
Treatment goals
Preserve vision
Decrease IOP
Ways to treat
Reduced aqueous humor production
Increase aqueous humor drainage
Prostaglandins
Bimatoprost
Parasympethatic
Pilocarpine
Beta blockers
Timolol
Alpha 2 agonist
Apraclonidine
CA inhibitors
Acetazolamide
