Eye
 The eye contains the sensory receptor cells for
vision.
 Primary structures: choroid, eyelids, retina, eyeball,
eye muscles, sclera, conjunctiva
Ear
 The ear contains the sensory receptors for hearing
and equilibrium.
 The primary structures: auricle, inner ear, external
ear, middle ear
Medical abbreviations
 Medical abbreviations are used very frequently in
medicine.
 boost efficiency
 making the communication easier amound
healthcare providers
 no chances of having more than one possible
interpretations. Avoids mistakes.
 1) pressure equalizing tube = PE TUBE
 2) eye, ear, nose and throat = EENT
 3) bone conduction = BC
 4) both ears = AU
 5) otitis media = OM
 6) emmetropia = EM
 7) exotropia = XT
 8) left eye = OS
 9) extraocular movement = EOM
 10) visual acuity = VA
 1) pressure equalizing tube = PE TUBE
 procedure where a small plastic or metal tube is placed within the
tympanic membrane to equalize the pressure behind the eardrum
and to allow for adequate drainage of any fluid within the middle ear
space
 2) eye, ear, nose and throat = EENT
 3) bone conduction = BC
 sends sound waves to your brain and your inner ear
using the bones of your skull
4) both ears = AU
5) otitis media = OM
-inflammation of the middle ear
6) emmetropia = EM
here an object at infinity is in sharp focus
with the eye lens in a neutral or relaxed state
7) exotropia = XT
outward turning of the eyes
8) left eye = OS (oculus sinister)
9) extraocular movement = EOM
having the patient look in all
directions without moving their
head
10) visual acuity = VA
20/20 vision is a term used to express normal
visual acuity (the clarity or sharpness of vision)
