TERMINOLOGY-OPTHALMOLOGY AND OPTHALMIC NURSING

1) Accommodation:

• Accommodation is a process by which the eye changes the curvature of the lens to focus on a clear image in the retina and adjusts it for close distances.

2) Ametropia :

• State of Refraction

3) Aphakia :

• Absence of natural lens

4) Aqueous humor:

• Aqueous humor is a watery clear fluid that fills the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye.

5) Blepharitis :

• Inflammation of the Eyelid

6) Blindness :

• Complete or Partial Loss of Vision

7) Cataract :

• Clouding of the lens of the eye

8) Chalazion :

• Painless bump on the eyelid

9) Chemosis :

• Swelling of conjunctiva

10) Conjunctivitis :

• Inflammation of Conjunctiva

11) Dacryocystitis (Dacryocystitis):

• Infection and inflammation of lacrimal Sec

12) Diplopia :

• Double Vision

13) Ectropoin :

• In ectropion, the eyelid margin rolls outward.

14) Emmetropia (Emetropia) :

• Absence of refractive error (normal optical condition of eye)

15) Enucleation :

• To completely remove the eyeball and optic nerve.

16) Entropion:

• In entropion, the eyelid margin rolls inward.

17) Epiphora :

• Excessive tearing

18) Exenteration:

• Surgical removal of entire Content of Orbit

19) Glucoma:

• Glaucoma is a group of disorders characterized by high intraocular pressure, optic nerve dystrophy, and peripheral visual field loss

20) Hyperemia :

• Increases blood flow to the particular Area

21) Hypermetropia:

• This is a type of refractive error. In which distant objects appear clear while nearby objects appear blurry.

22) Keratitis :

• Inflammation of the Cornea

23) Miotics :

• A drug used to constrict the pupil is known as a miotic. is.

24) Mydriatics :

• Drugs used to dilate the pupil are known as mydriatics.

25) Myopia :

• Myopia is a type of refractive error in which near objects appear clear while distant objects appear blurry.

26)Nystagmus (nystagmus) :

• Involuntary Eye Movement

27) Photophobia:

• Sensitivity to Light

28) Presbyopia :

• Presbyopia is a common age-related problem in which the lens loses its ability to focus on close objects, causing problems with seeing up close.

29) Proptosis :

• Proptosis, also known as exophthalmos, is a medical condition in which one or both eyeballs protrude or bulge out of the eye socket.

30)Pterydium (Pteridium) :

• Growth of Pink & Fleshly tissue on conjunctiva

31) Ptosis (ptosis) :

• Drooping of the eyelid

32) Refractive error:

• Abnormality in Refraction

33) Retinal detachment :

• In retinal detachment, the retina moves from its original position.

34) Strabismus (strabismus):

• Strabismus is a vision condition in which the eyes are not properly aligned.

35) Trachoma (Trachoma) :

• Trachoma is a contagious bacterial eye disease caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis.

36) Uveitis (Uveitis):

• Inflammation of the uvea is known as uveitis. (The uvea is the middle layer of the eye)

37) Vitreous humor:

Vitreous humor is a gelatinous material that fills the area behind the lens in the eyeball.
