Course Syllabus
Course Description To describe normal anomalies and pathologic abnormalities of the orbit and eye To describe ocular pathologies and ocular diseases (in general terms) Symptoms and signs Clinical diagnostic process
Course Objectives To become familiar with observable differences (some normal and some abnormal) seen in the orbit and eye To identify various presentations of ocular signs and symptoms To identify a pathological condition and to understand the pathophysiology of the disease (in general terms) To introduce the concept of evidence-based medicine
Blackboard Learn Expected to sign up for and be able to access Grades posted here Supplemental lectures and materials NOTE Lectures also on intranet page
Examinations Two two-hour examinations: during test weeks Consist of best answer multiple choice with slide recognition and [each] will be comprehensive. The final will be 3 hours: during finals week. Best answer multiple choice with slid recognition and an additional section of best answer multiple choice National Boards Questions.

Introduction What is? Epidemiology Risk Factors Pathophysiology Etiology Symptoms Signs Chief complaint HPI Complications Pathognomonic Treatment Management Differential Diagnosis Diagnostic process Evidence-based medicine VS Traditional medicine Outline I. clinical terminology
DD to Final (accurate) Diagnosis History + Evaluation/examination + Additional testing/procedures + APPLYING BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF: GEOMETRIC OPTICS, ANATOMY PHYSIOLOGY, BIOCHEMISTRY, OCULAR PATHOLOGY PHARMACOLOGY NEUROLOGY PREVIOUS PATIENTS Basic course knowledge, Scientific papers and your knowledge of these papers plus your clinical experience Unfortunately, it s NO longer multiple choice with 2-3 hours to get correct answer!!!!!
History Chief Complaint (CC)/Reason for Visit (RFV) What brought the patient in to see you Usually closely associated with patient s symptoms As their Doctor you must know as much about the CC as you can.. Questions start very general and then become more and more specific LISTEN
HPI Location- OD/OS/OU History Quality- Loss of vision or blur Context- Sudden or gradual Severity- mild, moderate, severe Modifying factors- distance, near, both Duration- Intermittent, transient, constant Timing- Short term, long term, months, years Previous Interventions Associated Symptoms- HA, nausea, dizziness Let s Practice Blurred vision
General HPI Questions With or without specs? Distance or near? Right eye, Left eye or Both? How long? Sudden or gradual? Gotten worse? Does anything relieve it? Constant vs fluctuation? Worse in morning Worse in evening Other ocular symptoms associated with blurred vision? Pain HA BLURRED VISION PATIENT 1 PATIENT 2
Ocular Examination Last year and this year you are going to be given a very large arsenal of procedures/tools November there will be a competency VISUAL ACUITIES Unaided Aided Entering BEST Pinhole
Best Corrected Visual Acuity What is the very, very best that this patient can see?? DISTANT MONOCULAR ACUITY Pinhole Refraction Always correct to 20/15!!!!! If the patient whizzes thru the 20/15 line, show them the 20/10 line Big question Is the CC refractive (myope, hyperope, astigmate, presbyope) or pathologic in nature????
Other Visual Acuities Contrast Sensitivity Color vision Monocular Visual field
Physical Examination Preliminary testing Pupils EOM Confrontation fields Photo stress test Cover test Monocular color vision Red-cap test Cover test Amsler grid Metamorphopsia Distorted vision
Physical Evaluation Slit lamp evaluation Undilated Can this patient be dilated? Dilated Stereo view of ONH, macula, posterior pole 78D lens, 90D lens, ruby lens Peripheral retina views BIO, Goldmann 3-mirror, scleral depression Intraocular pressure (IOP) Direct ophthalmoscope Monocular view GREAT MAG Binocular indirect ophthalmoscope
Physical Examination Specular microscopy Corneal topography Gonioscopy Imaging of globe and orbit Ophthalmoscopy to CT and MRI A and B Ultrasound Optical coherence tomography (OCT) Electrophysiology
How does any of this start? YOU MUST, MUST, MUST FIRST KNOW NORMAL We will look at some anomalies of structures that are unusual however normal You must look at as many healthy eyes as you can with as many of these different procedures as possible to get to know normal
PATHOLOGY 101 Refractive Error cornea, lens Media Opacity Tear film, cornea, aqueous humor, lens, vitreous Retina or Optic Nerve Disease Neurological Deficit Posterior to Optic Nerve {CN II}
