Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a retinal disorder in premature infants that can lead to vision loss. It occurs when the retina fails to properly vascularize in low birth weight preterm babies. Risk factors include being born before 32 weeks gestation or weighing less than 1500g, exposure to supplemental oxygen, and other medical complications. ROP progresses through five stages, from mild abnormal blood vessel growth to complete retinal detachment. Screening exams are conducted regularly in at-risk infants to detect ROP, and severe cases may be treated with cryotherapy or laser treatment to prevent vision loss from retinal detachment. Complications can include myopia, strabismus, and glaucoma.

Suppression third yr arya
This document discusses suppression, which is one of the three mechanisms of sensory adaptation that occurs in patients with strabismus. Suppression refers to the active inhibition of the image from the deviated eye to avoid diplopia. There are different types of suppression depending on factors such as etiology, retinal area involved, constancy, and the eye affected. Several tests are used to diagnose suppression including the Worth four dot test, Bagolini striated glass test, and visual acuity testing. Treatment involves refractive correction, occlusion therapy, eye alignment procedures, and anti-suppression exercises.
Hess chart, diplopia chart, cover tests
This document discusses various tests used to evaluate binocular vision, including cover tests, Hess charting, and diplopia charting. Cover tests are used to detect manifest or latent strabismus and determine deviation direction. Hess charting maps eye positions in 9 gazes using colored lenses to dissociate vision between eyes. It identifies muscle under or overaction. Diplopia charting records double vision separation in 9 gazes to localize affected muscles. These objective tests evaluate binocular function and strabismus type and localization.
Binocular balancing
1. Binocular balancing ensures equal accommodation relaxation in both eyes during subjective refraction. It does not aim to equalize visual acuity between eyes.
2. There are several techniques for binocular balancing, including successive alternate occlusion, vertical prism dissociation, fogging/Humphiss test, polarized filters, and the septum technique. These techniques add plus lenses until the patient reports equal blurriness between eyes.
3. The vertical prism dissociation technique uses prisms to displace one eye's image vertically while fogging is used, and plus lenses are added until equal blur is reported. The polarized technique uses polarizing filters to partially separate the images while the sept
Retinitis pigmentosa
Retinitis pigmentosa is a group of inherited retinal diseases characterized by progressive degeneration of the photoreceptors. It initially affects rods, resulting in night blindness and peripheral vision loss, and later involves cones leading to tunnel vision. Symptoms include nyctalopia and peripheral field defects. Signs include bone spicule pigmentation, arteriolar attenuation, and disc pallor. It can be inherited in autosomal dominant, recessive or X-linked patterns. Investigations include electroretinography to detect photoreceptor dysfunction and optical coherence tomography. There is currently no cure or treatment to stop progression.
hereditary macular and choroidal dystrophies
This document summarizes various inherited retinal dystrophies, including:
1. Diffuse photoreceptor dystrophies like retinitis pigmentosa and Leber's congenital amaurosis, and macular dystrophies like Stargardt's disease, vitelliform macular dystrophy, and pattern dystrophy.
2. It then describes choroidal dystrophies like choroideremia, gyrate atrophy, and Sorsby fundus dystrophy.
3. Key features, pathogenesis, genetic causes, clinical findings, investigations, and management are outlined for each condition. Differential diagnoses are also provided to help distinguish between similar appearing dystrophies.
Brown's syndrome
Brown's syndrome is a condition where there is limited elevation of the eye in adduction due to impaired movement of the superior oblique tendon through the trochlea. It can be congenital or acquired. Congenital cases are usually idiopathic while acquired cases result from damage to the trochlea or tendon, or inflammation. Symptoms include limited elevation in adduction, a positive forced duction test, and occasionally downshoot in adduction or anomalous head posture. Treatment depends on whether the case is congenital or acquired, with congenital cases often not requiring treatment and acquired cases potentially benefiting from steroids and treatment of the underlying cause.
Spherical RGP contact lens fitting and prescribing
RGP contact lenses provide better oxygen permeability than soft lenses, making them a good option for higher prescriptions or conditions like keratoconus. Key factors in fitting RGP lenses include assessing the patient's cornea, measuring their prescription, pupil size, and lid characteristics to select the appropriate trial lens. During the fitting, the practitioner evaluates the lens's dynamic movement, static position, centration, and the patient's vision to determine the right lens parameters to order.
retinopathy of prematurity
This document discusses retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), including its causes, classification system, risk factors, screening guidelines, and treatment options. ROP is a disease of the developing retina in premature infants that can lead to vision impairment. It progresses in two phases from abnormal vessel growth to retinal detachment. Treatment includes laser therapy or anti-VEGF injections to ablate the abnormal vessels. Screening guidelines are based on gestational age and birth weight to monitor disease progression and determine when treatment is needed.

Corneal Diseases / abnormalities
The cornea can recover from minor injuries on its own. If it is scratched, healthy cells slide over quickly and patch the injury before it causes infection or affects vision. But if a scratch causes a deep injury to the cornea, it will take longer to heal.
Special purpose frames
This document discusses different types of special purpose frames. It describes frames that hold supplementary lenses outside the main frame, frames that contain cells to hold additional lenses behind the prescription, and folding frames with hinges at the bridge and temples to reduce the frame size. It also covers frames with extensions to support the lower eyelid, trial frames without temples, monocular frames that allow viewing through one lens at a time, and frames with flip-down lenses for reading or sunglasses.
Retinal vascular occlusions
This document discusses retinal vascular occlusions, including their classification, presentation, investigations, and management. It begins by introducing retinal arterial and venous occlusions as significant causes of blindness. It then covers the anatomy of retinal blood supply and classifies occlusions by anatomical site. The remainder of the document details the characteristics, risk factors, clinical features, investigations, and treatment approaches for various types of retinal arterial occlusions (central retinal artery occlusion, branch retinal artery occlusion, cilioretinal artery occlusion) and venous occlusions (central retinal vein occlusion, branch retinal vein occlusion, hemiretinal vein occlusion).
Motor adaptation in paretic and nonparetic strabismus
This document discusses motor adaptation in paresis and non-paresis strabismus. It begins by defining strabismus and describing the different types. It then discusses the consequences of strabismus and the different ways motor adaptation occurs, including through changes in muscle tone, compensatory head posture, and blind spot mechanisms. It describes how motor adaptation occurs differently in incomitant versus comitant strabismus. The document goes on to discuss various cranial nerve palsies and how they result in specific eye positions and compensatory head postures. It also covers special restrictive disorders like Duane's retraction syndrome.
Manufacturing of contact lenses
This document summarizes the manufacturing process for rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses and soft contact lenses. For RGP lenses, care must be taken during blocking, cutting, polishing, and solvent cleaning. Lathing and molding are two common manufacturing methods, with lathing being older but able to produce a wider range of designs, while molding allows for higher volume production and more complex designs. For soft lenses, common manufacturing methods include cast molding, lathing, spin casting, and combinations of these methods. Stabilized soft molding has advantages for high volume production.
Assessment of strabismus
Strabismus is a condition where the visual axes of the two eyes do not align at the point of fixation. It can be comitant, where the misalignment is consistent in all directions of gaze, or incomitant, where the deviation varies with gaze direction. A thorough assessment of strabismus involves testing visual acuity, refractive error, ocular alignment with cover tests and prism bars, ocular motility, binocular vision, and specialized tests like forced duction testing. The evaluation aims to determine the type and size of strabismus, assess binocular function, and identify any underlying causes.
contact lens material
The document discusses contact lens design. It describes how contact lenses are thin shells that fit directly on the eye's surface. Soft contact lens design considers factors like diameter, thickness, curvature, edge design and lens material properties. Proper design is important for comfort, safety and vision. Soft lens design aims to closely match the eye's dimensions. High water lenses provide better comfort while low water lenses last longer. Rigid gas permeable lens design seeks an ideal fit through optimal design and material selection. The goal is comfortable, clear vision with minimal eye response.
Dissociated vertical deviation
Dissociated vertical deviation (DVD) is a condition where one eye turns upward when the other eye fixes. It typically presents between ages 2-5 years and is often associated with infantile esotropia. DVD violates the rules of ocular motility as the deviating eye does not make a rapid movement to refixate. Measurement and tests like Bielschowsky's phenomenon and red glass testing help differentiate DVD from other vertical deviations. Treatment involves observation, encouraging bifixation, or surgery like superior rectus recession if the deviation is increasing. It is important to differentiate DVD from inferior oblique overaction.
Hypermetropia ppt
This document discusses hyperopia (farsightedness), which occurs when parallel rays of light focus behind the retina at rest. It defines different types of hyperopia such as physiological and pathological. Symptoms include eye strain, headaches, and blurred near vision. Diagnosis involves visual acuity tests, retinoscopy, and subjective refraction. Treatment options include convex lenses, contact lenses, and refractive surgery like LASIK. The prevalence of hyperopia changes with age, from high levels in infants to low levels in adults that may increase again in older age.
Evaluation of squint
- Squint, or strabismus, is a misalignment of the visual axes that leads to loss of binocular single vision. It can be caused by issues in the orbit, eye muscles, motor nerves, or brainstem.
- Strabismus is classified as apparent, latent, or manifest. Manifest strabismus is further divided into concomitant, where the deviation is the same in all gazes, and incomitant, where the deviation varies with gaze.
- Evaluation of strabismus involves assessing history, visual acuity, refractive error, eye alignment tests, and binocular vision. Accurately measuring any refractive errors and prescribing corrections as needed is important for diagnosis and treatment of

Vitreous hemorrhage
Vitreous hemorrhage occurs when blood leaks into the vitreous humor of the eye. It can be nondispersed, allowing some retinal view, or dispersed throughout the vitreous. Common causes include diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, trauma, and posterior vitreous detachment. Patients experience painless vision loss and floaters. Examination may show a red eye or obscured retina. Treatment focuses on the underlying cause through laser, surgery, or observation depending on severity and risk factors.
Childhood glaucoma
This document discusses childhood glaucoma, including definitions, epidemiology, genetics, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. It describes primary congenital glaucoma as present at birth or in the first few years of life, caused by anterior chamber angle abnormalities without systemic anomalies. Secondary infantile glaucoma is associated with other abnormalities. Childhood glaucoma can be caused by various genetic syndromes and systemic conditions and often requires surgery for treatment.
Inconcomitant strabismus types and different tests
incomitant deviation, non paralytic deviation, paralytic deviation, A pattern, V pattern, X pattern, Y pattern, Extraocular motility paralysis, Extraocular motility paralysis, third nerve palsy, fourth nerve palsy, sixth nerve palsy, Hess screen test, diplopia charting
A-V pattern strabismus
The document discusses patterns of strabismus, specifically the A pattern and V pattern. The A pattern involves relative convergence on upgaze and divergence on downgaze, while the V pattern is the opposite with relative divergence on upgaze and convergence on downgaze. Variants include the X, Y, lambda, and diamond patterns. The etiology of these patterns involves dysfunction of the horizontal, vertical, or oblique eye muscles. Clinical features may include anomalous head posture, amblyopia, and abnormal retinal correspondence. Diagnosis involves measuring alignment in upgaze and downgaze while preventing accommodation.
Synoptophore
The synoptophore is an ophthalmic instrument used to diagnose and treat imbalances of the eye muscles. It consists of two cylindrical tubes with mirrored bends that allow pictures to be presented simultaneously to both eyes, compensating for any angle of squint. It is used to investigate binocular function in patients with a manifest squint, detect suppression and abnormal retinal correspondence, and measure horizontal, vertical and torsional misalignments. The synoptophore can test for three grades of binocular vision - simultaneous perception, fusion, and stereopsis - and detect whether a patient has normal or abnormal retinal correspondence based on differences between subjective and objective angles of squint.
Blepharophimosis
Blepharophimosis is a condition characterized by narrowing of the eyelid opening both vertically and horizontally. It is caused by mutations in the FOXL2 gene and is associated with ptosis, epicanthus inversus, low nasal bridge, and in females, primary ovarian insufficiency leading to infertility. There are two types - type I is associated with ovarian insufficiency in females while type II is not. Management involves early surgical correction of ptosis and epicanthus folds, as well as treatment of amblyopia and refractive errors. Genetic counseling is also recommended.
History taking and examination procedures for contact lens
The document discusses the importance and process of history taking for contact lens fitting. It outlines the key components of a thorough history, including demographic data, ocular health history, general medical history, medication use, family history, social history, and history of prior contact lens use. A complete history is essential to identify any contraindications, determine the appropriate lens type, and manage patient expectations. Experts emphasize that the patient's history is one of the most important tools for optometrists and can often lead directly to a diagnosis.
Retinopathy of Primaturity
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a proliferative retinopathy that affects premature infants, especially those with very low birth weights who received supplemental oxygen. The incompletely developed retinal blood vessels of premature infants are susceptible to abnormal growth in response to high oxygen levels. ROP progresses through five stages, from early vascular changes to total retinal detachment. Staging is based on the zone of the retina involved and extent of abnormal blood vessel proliferation. Timely eye exams by an ophthalmologist starting at 4 weeks of age can detect ROP for potential laser or cryotherapy treatment to prevent vision loss.
Retinopathy of prematurity vpr.pptx
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a disorder in premature infants where abnormal blood vessel growth occurs in the retina. The developing retina is susceptible after premature birth interrupts normal vessel development. Exposure to abnormal oxygen levels, either high or low, can further disrupt growth. ROP is evaluated based on location within the retina, severity of abnormal vessels, and presence of "plus disease". Screening allows early detection so treatment like laser ablation can be given if the disease reaches a threshold level with risk of vision loss. While ROP can cause complications like retinal detachment if untreated, screening and timely treatment helps prevent blindness.

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), initially described as retrolental fibroplasia one of the leading cause of blindness in children.
Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, as medicine and technology advances and premature infants are surviving at earlier gestational ages, ROP continues to be a significant problem.
ROP results in disorganized growth of retinal blood vessels, which may lead to scarring and retinal detachment.
Retinopathy of prematurity
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a retinal vascular disorder that primarily affects premature infants. It occurs when the retinal blood vessels in the eye are not fully developed. The summary describes the key stages and phases of ROP pathogenesis. Phase 1 involves an initial insult like hyperoxia or hypoxia that arrests retinal vascular development. Phase 2 involves neovascularization driven by hypoxic conditions in the avascular retina. Treatment includes laser photocoagulation or anti-VEGF injections to promote regression of abnormal blood vessels and prevent retinal detachment. Several clinical trials have found that early treatment of high-risk prethreshold ROP improves outcomes by reducing unfavorable anatomical and visual outcomes compared to conventional observation and treatment.
ROP salman.pptx
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a developmental retinal vascular disorder that primarily affects premature infants. It occurs when the retina is incompletely vascularized. ROP was first described in 1941 and is a leading cause of childhood blindness. Infants born prematurely, with low birth weight, or who receive supplemental oxygen are at highest risk. The retina is normally vascularized after birth, and ROP results from interrupted vascularization. It progresses in two phases and can lead to retinal scarring and detachment if untreated. Screening, classification, treatment and monitoring guidelines aim to prevent vision loss from ROP.
Retinopathy of prematurity

Infants with very low birth weight (<1500g) or gestational age (<32 weeks) are most at risk. If left untreated, ROP can cause blindness or severe vision impairment. Screening, timely diagnosis, and treatment with laser photocoagulation or anti-VEGF injections can help prevent vision loss from ROP.
Retinopathy of Prematurity
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a retinal vascular disorder in premature infants. It was first described in the 1950s when premature babies received high oxygen supplementation. The retinal vasculature normally develops from week 16-40 of gestation. In ROP, immature retinal tissue is exposed to high oxygen, causing vaso-obliteration, then neovascularization when oxygen levels decrease. ROP is classified by location, stage of severity, and extent. Treatment is usually cryotherapy or laser photocoagulation for severe cases. Anti-VEGF is also used and may reduce recurrence rates compared to laser. Follow-up exams are needed based on risk factors.
Retinopathy of Prematurity.pptx
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a retinal vascular disease that affects premature infants. It occurs when the retina of premature infants is exposed to high concentrations of oxygen, causing abnormal blood vessel growth. ROP is staged based on the severity and location of the disease, and may progress to retinal detachment if not treated. Treatment options include laser photocoagulation, cryotherapy, or anti-VEGF injections to promote normal blood vessel growth and prevent further progression. Regular screening is important for monitoring ROP and detecting complications in older children.
Retinopathy of prematurity
This document provides an overview of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), including:
1) ROP is a proliferative retinopathy affecting premature infants that can cause lifelong visual impairment.
2) The development of the retinal vasculature is disrupted in premature infants due to their early exposure to a hyperoxic extra-uterine environment.
3) Laser photocoagulation treatment is recommended for high-risk pre-threshold and threshold ROP to ablate the peripheral avascular retina and prevent retinal detachment and blindness.
Retinopathy of prematurity recommendations for screening
This document discusses retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), including its causes, risk factors, screening recommendations, and treatment. ROP occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow in the retina of premature infants. Key points include: ROP screening is recommended for infants born before 34 weeks gestation or weighing less than 1750g; screening should begin between 3-4 weeks of life and continue until 44 weeks; laser photocoagulation or anti-VEGF treatment may be used depending on the severity and location of the ROP. Preventive measures include maintaining oxygen saturation between 88-92% and aggressive nutrition support for premature infants.

This document discusses retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), including its definition, pathogenesis, classification, natural history, risk factors, prevention, and screening guidelines. ROP is a vasoproliferative retinal disorder that increases in incidence with decreasing gestational age and affects the developing retinal vasculature of premature infants. The classification system describes the location, severity, and extent of ROP. Screening guidelines recommend examining infants born under 1,750g or 34 weeks gestation between 3-4 weeks of life to detect ROP and determine if treatment is needed to prevent vision loss. Strict oxygen control, aggressive nutrition, and infection prevention are important for reducing ROP risk.
Retinopathy of prematurity 2014 july 11
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a blinding eye disease that affects the developing retina of premature infants. It occurs in two phases - an initial delayed growth of retinal blood vessels after birth due to exposure to high oxygen levels, followed by abnormal neovascularization due to hypoxia. Babies born at less than 30 weeks gestation or weighing less than 1500g are screened, with treatment (laser photocoagulation or cryotherapy) for severe "threshold" or "pre-threshold" ROP. Surgical options like vitrectomy may be used if laser treatment fails, but long-term follow up is still needed to monitor for complications.
Leukocoria (White Pupillary Reflex)
Leukocoria ( or white pupillary reflex) is an abnormal white reflection from the eye.
Leukocoria is a medical sign for a number of several conditions.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.The Nervous and Chemical Regulation of Respiration

Retinopathy of prematurity
- 2. Definition • Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a retinal disorder of low birth weight premature infants. It can be mild with no visual defect, or it may become aggressive with new vessel formation and progress to retinal detachment and blindness. Retinopathy of prematurity CPG MOH 2005
- 3. Pathogenesis • There is an initial failure of normal retinal vascularization followed by a phase of aggressive new vessel formation extending forward into the vitreous and causing traction detachment.
- 4. Risk factor • Gestation less than 32 weeks • Birth weight below 1500g – incidence btwn 34 to 60% • Exposure to supplemental oxygen • Apnoea • Sepsis • Duration of ventilation • Blood transfusion • The presence of interventricular hemorrhage • Retinal light exposure
- 5. Signs The retinal appearance depend on the severity of the condition but includes: • New vessel • The development of retinal hemorrhage • Increase tortuosity and dilatation of the retina vessel In severe disease, blindness can result from: • Bleeding into the vitreous • Retinal detachment
- 6. Stages of ROP Stage 1 Mildly abnormal blood vessel growth. Many children who dev this stage improved with no tx and eventually dev normal vision. Ds resolved on its own without further progression. Stage 2 Moderately abnormal blood vessel growth. Stage 3 Severely abnormal bv growth. the abnormal bv grow towards the center of the eye instead of following their normal growth pattern along the surface of the retina. Some infant would improve with no tx. However, if infant have stage 3 and plus ds, tx was considered. Plus disease – bv of the retina have become enlarged and twisted , indicate worsening of the ds. (tx at this point has a good chance of preventing retinal detachment) Stage 4 Partially detach retina. Traction from the scar produced by bleeding, abnormal vessel pulls the retina away from the wall of the eye. Stage 5 Completely detach retina . if left untreated, baby can have severe visual impairment and even blindness. National Eye Institute
- 8. Treatment • At risk infant are screened on a regular basis. The severe complication of the condition can be reduced by applying cryotherapy or laser to the avascular retina.
- 10. Screening Screening should be carried out for the infants with either: • Birth weight less than 1500g or • Gestational age less than 32 weeks or • Infants with an unstable clinical course who are at high risk First examination should be done by 4 to 6 weeks after birth
- 11. Screening of all infants at risk of developing ROP should be continued regularly until: • Retina is completely vascularised • ROP has fully regressed and there are no sign of risk of visual loss • ROP has progressed to a severity where treatment is indicated
- 12. Screening method • Indirect ophthalmoscope • Eye speculum • Scleral indentor
- 13. Complication • Myopia – 80% • Strabismus and amblyopia • Retinal detachment • Angle closure glaucoma
