Question
• An 80-year-old man presents with poor vision in his right eye with sudden onset of pain and conjunctival hyperemia. The examination reveals an lOP of 45 mm Hg with a prominent cell and flare reaction without keratic precipitates, a dense cataract, and an open anterior chamber angle.
1) What is the most likely diagnosis?
2) Write 3 D/D.
3) Mention 2 treatment
Friday, April 7, 2023 anjumk38dmc@gmail.com
Friday, April 7, 2023 8
Answer
1) Phacolytic glaucoma
2) .
i. phacoantigenic glaucoma
ii. ICE syndrome
iii. Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis.
3) Medications to control the lOP should be used immediately, definitive therapy requires cataract extraction.
anjumk38dmc@gmail.com
Friday, April 7, 2023 9
Explanation
This is the classic presentation of a patient with phacolytic glaucoma. Without keratic precipitates. both phacoantigenic glaucoma and Fuchs heterochrornic iridocyclitis are unlikely. Fuchs heteroch romic iridocyclitis is associated with cataract formation, primarily posterior subcapsular cataracts, but it tends to present in a much younger patient. ICE syndrome occurs in younger patients and causes a secondary angle-closure glaucoma.

Question
This is the Humphrey visual field of a 67 year-old woman.
a. What type of perimetry is a Humphrey field analyser? = 2
b. What does the total deviation measure? = 2 c. What is the pattern deviation? =2 d. What does the visual field show? =1 e. List three conditions which may give this field
defect. =3.
anjumk38dmc@gmail.com
Friday, April 7, 2023 23
Answer
a. Humphrey field analyser is a static automated perimetry.
b. The total deviation measures the difference (in db) between the patient's threshold values and that of the age-corrected values.
c. The pattern deviation adjusts the total deviation for any shift in the patient's overall sensitivity. This allows localised area of field loss to be clearly demonstrated.

Answer
d. Superior arcuate scotoma.e.
i. open angle glaucoma with inferior loss of arcuate nerve fibre layer
ii. optic disc pit
iii. inferior branch retinal vein occlusion
anjumk38dmc@gmail.com
Friday, April 7, 2023 anjumk38dmc@gmail.com 25
Explanation
• a. Humphrey field analyser is a static automated perimetry. (In this test, the patient maintains fixation on a central target and the computer randomly presents a brief (about 0.2 seconds) and non-moving ie. static light stimulus at different loci throughout the visual field. The intensity of the light stimulus that the patient can see is then recorded.)
• b. The total deviation measures the difference (in db) between the patient's threshold values and that of the age-corrected values.
Friday, April 7, 2023 anjumk38dmc@gmail.com 26
Explanation
c. The pattern deviation adjusts the total deviation for any shift in the patient's overall sensitivity. This allows localised area of field loss to be clearly demonstrated.
(Many conditions other than glaucoma can cause poor vision for eg. cataract or corneal oedema. Therefore, to find out how much of a patient’s relative insensitivity to light is due to glaucoma rather than to something else, it is important to "subtract out" these other factors. This can be done because these others conditions tend to produce a similar pattern of diffuse visual field loss, while glaucoma tends to produce localized areas of visual field loss.)
Friday, April 7, 2023 anjumk38dmc@gmail.com 27
Explanation
d. Superior arcuate scotoma. e.
i. open angle glaucoma with inferior loss of arcuate nerve fibre layer
ii. optic disc pit
iii. inferior branch retinal vein occlusion
(Visual field should not be interpreted without reference to ocular examination. An arcuate scotoma can occur in other conditions other than open angle glaucoma as mentioned above)

• This 26 year-old woman presented with a two-week history of decreased right vision. The visual acuity was 6/36 in the right eye and 6/6 in the left. Her MRI scan was done. Answer the following question..
Friday, April 7, 2023 anjumk38dmc@gmail.com 77
Question
1) Is this MRI scan a T1 weighted or a T2 weighted images?
2) What are the advantages of MRI scan over CT scan in brain imaging?
3) What abnormalities are present? 4) What is the likely diagnosis?
Friday, April 7, 2023 anjumk38dmc@gmail.com 78
Answer
1) T2-weighted MRI. (This is shown by the high signal of the CSF
within the ventricles. In MRI scan of the brain, T1-weighted image is useful for demonstrating anatomical details whereas T2 excellent pathology)
Friday, April 7, 2023 anjumk38dmc@gmail.com 79
2) The advantages of MRI over CT scan of the brain include:
i. Non-ionising radiationii. Excellent soft tissue contrastiii. Multiplanar images (axial, sagittal and coronal)iv. No artefact from the bone and is especially
useful for posterior fossa imaging.
Friday, April 7, 2023 anjumk38dmc@gmail.com 80
C) High signal lesions within the periventricular white matter of both cerebral hemispheres
• (These represent multiple plaques of demyelination see figure below, these plaques have high water content and therefore appear white on T2-weighted images.)

Question
• Convert the following prescriptions to + or - cylinder notation and state the type of astigmatism which is present in each
1) +4.00 / -1.50 x 70 2) +1.25 / -3.00 x 90 3) PL / +1.50 x 45 4) -2.00 / +2.00 x 50 5) - 1.75 / -2.00 x 135
Friday, April 7, 2023 anjumk38dmc@gmail.com 89
Answer
a. + 4.00 / - 1.50 x 70 = + 2.50 / + 1.50 x 160 ; compound hypermetropic astigmatism.
b. + 1.25 / - 3.00 x 90 = - 1.75 / + 3.00 x 180 ; mixed astigmatism.
c. PL / + 1.50 x 45 = -1.50 / - 1.50 x 135 ; simple hypermetropia astigmatism.
d. - 2.00 / + 2.00 x 50 = PL / - 2.00 x 140 ; simple myopic astigmatism.
e. - 1.75 / - 2.00 x 135 = - 3.75 / + 2.00 x 45 ; compound myopic astigmatism.
Friday, April 7, 2023 anjumk38dmc@gmail.com 90
ANSWER
Compound astigmatism occurs when the two principal meridians of an eye are either both hypermetropic ie. compound hypermetropic astigmatism or both myopic ie. compound myopic astigmatism.
Mixed astigmatism occurs when one principal meridian is hypermetropic and the other myopia.
Simple astigmatism occurs when one principal meridian of the eye is emmetropia and the other myopia ie. simple myopic astigmatism or hypermetropic ie. simple hypermetropic astigmatism.

Question
• Eight weeks after a left cataract extraction and implant, your patient has the following keratometry:
• 40.00 @90 44.00 @180
1) What is the power and axis of cylinder required to correct the post-operative astigmatism?
2) If a tight radially placed suture is present, in which meridian would you most likely to find it?
Friday, April 7, 2023 anjumk38dmc@gmail.com 94
Answer
1) There is a 4D difference between the two meridians. So the required cylinder correction is either: - 4.00 X 90 or + 4.00 X180
2) The tight suture is at 1800 and need to be removed.

OSPE:21
Scenario
• A 35 year-old man was assaulted 4 weeks ago with a blunt object over his right temporal region. At the time of the injury, there was no loss of consciousness or ocular injury. However, over the next few weeks, he exprienced progressive swelling and redness of the right eye. There was no medical history of note.
• On examination, the right eye was noted red with moderate non-axial
proptosis.
Scenario
The right conjunctiva showed dilated vessels . The visual acuity VAR= 6/12 & VAL= 6/6. IOP 40 mm of Hg in R/E & 18 mm of Hg in L/E Gonioscopy showed blood in the right trabecular
meshwork Fundoscopy= NAD The proptosis is non-tender to palpation. Bruit can be heard with the bell of a stethoscope
when the eye was closed.
Question
1) What is the most likely diagnosis?
2) What is the gold standard for confirming the diagnosis.
3) What are the mechanisms of raised intraocular pressure in this condition?
4) Is this a life-threatening condition?
5) What are the treatment modalities for this condition?
Answer
1) Direct carotid-cavernous fistula secondary to blunt trauma is the most likely diagnosis.
2) Cerebral angiogram is the gold standard for confirming the diagnosis.(The patient will undergo the investigation under neurosurgical supervision.)
3) Usually it is not a life-threatening condition.
4) The outflow facility is disturbed due to elevation of the episcleral venous pressure.
