Opthalmology - Diabetes

OPHTHALMOLOGY
Diabetes mellitus
Ocular involvement in diabetes is very common. Structure-wise ocular lesions are as follows:
1. Lids. Xanthelasma and recurrent stye or internal
hordeolum
2. Conjunctiva.Telangiectasia,sludgingoftheblood
in conjunctival vessels and subconjunctival
haemorrhage
3. Cornea. Pigment dispersal at back of cornea,
decreased corneal sensations (due to trigeminal neuropathy), punctate kerotapathy, Descemet’s folds, higher incidence of infective corneal ulcers and delayed epithelial healing due to abnormality in epithelial basement membrane
4. Iris. Rubeosis iridis (neovascularization)
5. Lens. Snow-flake cataract in patients with IDDM, posterior subcapsular cataract, early onset and
early maturation of senile cataract
6. Vitreous.Vitreoushaemorrhageandfibre-vascular
proliferation secondary to diabetic retinopathy 7. Retina. Diabetic retinopathy and lipaemia retinalis
8. Intraocular pressure. Increased incidence of
POAG, neovascular glaucoma and hypotony in diabetic ketoacidosis (due to increased plasma bicarbonate levels)
9. Optic nerve. Optic neuritis
10. Extraocular muscles. Ophthalmoplegia due to
diabetic neuropathy
11. Changes in refraction. Hypermetropic shift in
hypoglycemia, myopic shift in hyperglycemia and decreased accommodation

Optic Nerve Drussen

Optic Nerve Drusen:

These are refractile deposits within the substance of the optic nerve head.

They are unrelated to drusen of the retina, which occur in age-related macular degeneration. Optic disc drusen are most common in people of northern European descent.

Their diagnosis is obvious when they are visible as glittering particles upon the surface of the optic disc. However, in many patients they are hidden beneath the surface, producing pseudo-papilledema.

It is important to recognize optic disc drusen to avoid an unneccessary evaluation for papilledema.

Ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) scanning is sensitive for detection of buried optic disc drusen because they contain calcium.

In most patients, optic disc drusen are an incidental, innocuous finding, but they can produce visual obscurations.

On perimetry they give rise to enlarged blind spots and arcuate scotomas from damage to the optic disc. With increasing age, drusen tend to become more exposed on the disc surface as optic atrophy develops. Hemorrhage, choroidal neovascular membrane, and aion are more likely to occur in patients with optic disc drusen. No treatment is available.

Extra ocular muscles

ACTIONS OF EOM

Medial Rectus and Lateral Rectus have only primary action.

All other muscles have a primary and two subsidiary actions.

Primary action of oblique muscles is tortion

Primary action of SR is elevation and IR is depression.

Subsidiary actions

Mnemonic:SINRAD

All superiors are Intorters- SR and SO

All inferiors are Extorters-IR and IO

All Recti are Adductors

All obliques are abductors

Superior Oblique-Copying muslce

Inferior oblique-Stargazers muscle.

SO- depression

IO- Elevation

In abducted  position SR acts as pure elevator.

In adducted position SO pure depressor.

Lens

👀👓 CARDINAL DATA OF A LENS::
➡ CENTRE OF CURVATURE (C) of the spherical lens is the centre of the sphere of which the refracting lens surface is a part.
➡ RADIUS OF CURVATURE of the spherical lens is the radius of the sphere of which the refracting surface is a part.
➡ The PRINCIPAL AXIS (AB) of the lens is the line joining the centres of curvatures of its surfaces.
➡ OPTICAL CENTRE (O) of the lens corresponds to the nodal point of a thick lens. It is a point on the principal axis in the lens, the rays passing from where do not undergo deviation. In meniscus lenses the optical centre lies outside the lens.
➡ The PRINCIPAL FOCUS (F) of a lens is that point on the principal axis where parallel rays of light, after passing through the lens, converge (in convex lens) or appear to diverge (in concave lens).
➡ The FOCAL LENGTH (f) of a lens is the distance between the optical centre (O) and the principal focus (F).
➡ POWER OF A LENS (P) is defined as the ability of the lens to converge a beam of light falling on the lens. For a converging (convex) lens the power is taken as positive and for a diverging (concave) lens power is taken as negative. It is measured as reciprocal of the focal length in metres i.e. P = 1/f. The unit of power is dioptre (D). One dioptre is the power of a lens of focal length one metre.

CALCULATION OF IOL POWER

🔬 CALCULATION OF IOL POWER (BIOMETRY)::
🔰 The most common method of determining IOL power uses a regression formula called ‘SRK (Sanders, Retzlaff and Kraff) formula’.
🔰 The formula is P = A – 2.5L – 0.9K, where:
✒ P is the power of IOL.
✒ A is a constant which is specific for each lens type.
✒ L is the axial length of the eyeball in mm, which is determined by A-scan ultrasonography.
✒ K is average corneal curvature, which is determined by keratometry.
🔰 The ultrasound machine equipped with A-scan and IOL power calculation software is called ‘Biometer’.

Prescribing lens

😎👓 WHILE PRESCRIBING GLASSES::

🔍 For atropine use correction factor; deduct (-1).
🔍 For all others; deduct (-0.5).

🔍 At 1meter distance, deduct (-1).
🔍 At <1meter distance or closer, deduct (-1.5).
🔍 At arms distance (or) 2/3rd meter distance, deduct (-1.5).

🔍 While prescribing glasses, follow this rule ➡ Smallest whole number will be given as sphere.

🔍 When the power is not same in both axes after correction while prescribing glasses, it is known as HYPEROPIC ASTIGMATISM.

REQUISITES FOR RETINOSCOPY

👀🔎 REQUISITES FOR RETINOSCOPY::
🔦 Dilated cycloplegia - To relax accomodation in hypermetropes. Commonly used drug is CYCLOPENTOLATE.
🔦 Dilator without cycloplegic effect - PHENYLEPHRINE.
🔦 Longest acting dilator cycloplegic - ATROPINE (duration is 7-14days/1-2weeks).
🔦 Shortest acting dilator cycloplegic - TROPICAMIDE.
🔦 For children <3years of age - ATROPINE eye ointment.
🔦 For adults - use TROPICAMIDE.
🔦 For school going/older children - HOMATROPINE (action lasting 1-2days) [or] CYCLOPENTOLATE (action lasting 12-24hours).
