To prevent blepharitis (eyelid margin inflammation), attention must be paid to reducing individual risk factors. Behavioral risk factors Staying in dry dusty air; smoke. Frequent eye rubbing Chemical substances (e.g. in cosmetics). Insufficient hygiene Environmental pollution – intoxications (poisonings). Smoke Dust Temperature extremes: heat and cold Draft/wind
Nystagmography refers to the examination of eye movements when nystagmus is suspected. This involves involuntary eye movements that can have a variety of causes. Nystagmus can be physiologic, but also pathologic.A distinction is made between rotational from spontaneous and positional nystagmus. Indications (areas of application) Suspicion of nystagmus and to clarify the cause. The procedure … Nystagmography
In strabismus – colloquially called strabismus or silver gaze – (thesaurus synonyms: Alternating strabismus; Heterophoria (latent strabismus); Heterotropia (manifest strabismus); Hypertropia (elevation strabismus); Hypotropia (downward strabismus); Congenital strabismus; Coordination disorder of eye muscles; Nonparalytic strabismus; Ocular muscle insufficiency; Strabismus convergens (inward strabismus); Strabismus divergens (outward strabismus); Cyclotropia (rolling strabismus); ICD-10 H50. 9 – Strabismus, unspecified) … Strabismus (Crossed Eyes)
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is one of the imaging modalities and is used in ophthalmology to examine the retina (retina), vitreous, and optic nerve (optic nerve). It is a noninvasive, noncontact method of producing optical, two-dimensional cross-sectional images that have high spatial resolution. Indications (areas of application) Macular hole – sharply defined destruction of the … Optical Coherence Tomography
Medical history (history of the patient) represents an important component in the diagnosis of strabismus (strabismus). Family history Is there a frequent history of eye disease in your family? Social anamnesis Current medical history/systemic history (somatic and psychological complaints). How long have you noticed that the eyes no longer look in one direction? Was there … Strabismus (Crossed Eyes): Medical History
The Optomap laser scanner is used in ophthalmology for diagnostic purposes. With this device, the retina can be visualized in great detail even through the narrow pupil. Indications (areas of application) Optic nerve damage Damage to the blood vessels supplying the retina, such as occurs with diabetes mellitus and hypertension (high blood pressure) Changes in … Optomap Laser Scanner
Eyes and ocular appendages (H00-H59). Concomitant strabismus Paralytic strabismus Pseudostrabismus – apparent strabismus
Orbscan topography (synonym: Orbscan I) is a modern procedure in ophthalmology that allows pachymetry (measurement of corneal thickness) and analysis of the anterior chamber structures of the eye (lens, iris). Corneal thickness is a parameter of tremendous importance and is used to determine corneal function. Indications (areas of application) Checking the function of the corneal … Orbscan Topography
The following are the most important diseases or complications that may be contributed to by strabismus (strabismus): Eyes and eye appendages (H00-H59). Amblyopia (amblyopia; low vision). Psyche – nervous system (F00-F99; G00-G99) Social phobia Further Worse employment opportunities because of the appearance of the face.
The Retinal Thickness Analyzer (RTA) is an ophthalmology (eye care) vision diagnostic system used to determine retinal thickness, visualize the optic nerve, and view the subretinal layers (tissue located beneath the retina). The system is used for early detection of glaucoma (glaucoma – increase in intraocular pressure with accompanying deterioration of vision) and macular degeneration … Retinal Thickness Analyzer
A comprehensive clinical examination is the basis for selecting further diagnostic steps: General physical examination – including blood pressure, pulse, body weight, height; furthermore: Inspection (viewing). Skin and mucous membranes Eyes [misalignment of the eyes (the eyes do not look in the same direction), burning of the eyes, trembling of the eyes, frequent blinking, tilting … Strabismus (Crossed Eyes): Examination
Refractometry is a method of ophthalmology for objective visual acuity testing (visual acuity testing). It involves determining what additional refractive power is needed to obtain a sharp image on the retina. The human eye is shaped approximately like a sphere and contains a complex optical system. In emmetropia (normal vision), the eyeball is about 24 … Visual Acuity Test: Refractometry
