PALPEBRAL FISSURE

The palpebral fissure is an anatomical feature of the eye. Key features:

  1. Definition: The opening between the upper and lower eyelids.
  2. Importance:
    • Determines the visible width of the eye when open.
    • Can be affected by conditions like ptosis (drooping eyelid) or trauma.
  3. Clinical significance:
    • Measurements of palpebral fissure width can be part of eye exams.
    • Changes in palpebral fissure size or shape v. Ze indicate underlying issues.

The palpebral fissure is one aspect of eye anatomy that can be relevant in ophthalmic assessments.

MEDIAL CANTHUS

The medial canthus is a part of the eye’s anatomy. Key features:

  1. Location: The inner corner of the eye where the upper and lower eyelids meet.
  2. Function:
    • Helps with eyelid stability and movement.
    • Contains the lacrimal puncta (openings for tear drainage).
  3. Clinical significance:
    • Can be involved in conditions like medial canthal tendon issues or injuries.
    • Sometimes a focus in oculoplastic surgery.

The term “media canthi” seems to be a plural reference to the medial canthus areas of both eyes.

ANTERIOR CHAMBER ANGLE

The anterior chamber angle is a critical area in the eye. Key features:

  1. Location: The angle formed by the junction of the iris and cornea in the anterior chamber.
  2. Importance:
    • Contains the trabecular meshwork, which drains aqueous humor
    • Plays a key role in regulating intraocular pressure
  3. Clinical significance: Narrowing or closure of the anterior chamber angle can lead to angle-closure glaucoma.

The anatomy of the anterior chamber angle is important for understanding glaucoma and other ocular conditions.

PHOTORECEPTORS

Photoreceptors are specialized cells in the retina that convert light into electrical signals. There are two main types:

1. Rods

  • Function: Responsible for vision in low light conditions (scotopic vision) and peripheral vision.
  • Distribution: Highly concentrated in the peripheral retina.
  • Sensitivity: More sensitive to light than cones but do not detect color.

2. Cones

  • Function: Responsible for color vision and high-acuity vision in bright light conditions (photopic vision).
  • Distribution: Concentrated in the central retina, particularly in the fovea.
  • Types: There are three types of cones, each sensitive to different wavelengths of light:
    • S-cones (short-wavelength): Sensitive to blue light.
    • M-cones (medium-wavelength): Sensitive to green light.
    • L-cones (long-wavelength): Sensitive to red light.

Together, rods and cones enable us to perceive a wide range of light intensities and colors, contributing to our overall visual experience.

TEAR DUCT SURGERY

Tear duct surgery, also known as dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), is a procedure to:

  1. Restore tear drainage: Creating a new pathway for tears to flow from the eye into the nasal cavity.
  2. Relieve blockages: Clearing blockages in the tear ducts.

The surgery can be performed:

  1. Externally: Through a small incision on the side of the nose.
  2. Endoscopically: Through the nose using a small camera and instruments.

Tear duct surgery can help alleviate symptoms such as:

  1. Excessive tearing
  2. Eye irritation
  3. Recurrent infections

If you’re experiencing tear duct issues, consult with an optometrist or oculoplastic surgeon to determine the best course of treatment.

OCULAR MYOSITIS

Ocular myositis is a rare inflammatory condition that affects the extraocular muscles, which control eye movement. Symptoms may include:

  1. Eye pain: Pain or discomfort in or around the eye.
  2. Diplopia (double vision): Difficulty moving eyes in sync.
  3. Limited eye movement: Restricted or abnormal eye movements.
  4. Swelling: Inflammation or swelling of the affected muscles.

Treatment typically involves:

  1. Corticosteroids: To reduce inflammation.
  2. Immunosuppressive medications: In some cases.

If you’re experiencing symptoms, consult an optometrist or neurologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

SIMPLE EYE EXERCISES FOR STRONGER EYE MUSCLES.

Just like various parts of the body, the eyes are packed with muscles that help them perform better.

Over time these muscles can becoming weak. Thereby leading to several binocularity and refractive anomalies.

To ensure that these muscles are always power packed and ready for actions, the following exercises are necessary:

  1. Pushup: here you hold a pen at arms length while your two eyes are focused on the tip of the pen, you push the pen slowly towards your nose while ensuring that the tip of the pen does not break into two. When you cannot sustain that single image, you push the pen back again till the double image fuses into one. Do it back and forth again and again.
  2. Motility exercise: here you move your eyes in different direction of gaze repeatedly, up/down/left/right.
  3. For the third exercise, hold a pen close to your nose. Look at tip of the pen, then look at an object far away and then look back at the tip of the pen again. Do this repeatedly.
