A 27 Y/O F presents to the ED from a movie theatre with acute, severe R eye pain, blurred vision, and nausea. O/E, the R eye is erythematous, the cornea is hazy, and the pupil is fixed in a mid-dilated position. Ocular tonometry reveals an intraocular pressure (IOP) of 55 mmHg (Normal: 10-21 mmHg). A diagnosis of acute angle-closure glaucoma is made. What is the most appropriate initial pharmacological management for this patient?
Intravenous mannitol and topical pilocarpine
Topical atropine and oral ibuprofen
Oral amoxicillin and topical corticosteroids
Intravenous acyclovir and topical lubricants
Topical latanoprost monotherapy
A 65 Y/O M with Hx of HTN presents to the clinic. He reports a single episode yesterday of sudden, painless vision loss in his right eye that he described as "a black curtain coming down from above." The episode lasted about 2 minutes and his vision is now completely back to normal. O/E: BP 155/90 mmHg. Visual acuity 20/20 in both eyes. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Amaurosis fugax
Central retinal artery occlusion
Acute angle-closure glaucoma
Retinal detachment
Optic neuritis
A 68 Y/O M with Hx of DM & HTN c/o acute, painless L eye vision loss. He reports preceding flashes of light and a shower of new floaters, which was followed by the appearance of a progressive peripheral shadow. The underlying pathophysiology of this patient's most likely condition involves a tear in the retina allowing what substance to seep behind it?
Vitreous fluid
Aqueous humor
Subretinal exudate
Blood
Cerebrospinal fluid
A 65 Y/O F presents to the ED with a 3-hour Hx of sudden, severe right eye pain, headache, and nausea. O/E, her R eye is injected, the pupil is mid-dilated and fixed, and the cornea appears hazy. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is 55 mmHg. The Dx of Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma is made. What is the most appropriate initial combination of pharmacological agents for this patient?
IV Acetazolamide + Topical Timolol + Topical Pilocarpine
Topical Atropine + Topical Corticosteroid
Oral Amoxicillin + Topical Cyclopentolate
IV Mannitol + Topical Tropicamide
Topical Prostaglandin analogue + Oral NSAIDs
A 58 Y/O M with a long Hx of poorly controlled T2DM undergoes a routine fundoscopy. VA is 6/9 bilaterally. O/E, fundus shows multiple dot-blot hemorrhages, hard exudates, and venous beading. Notably, there are also fine new vessels originating directly from the optic disc. Which finding classifies this condition as high-risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy?
Hard exudates
Venous beading
Dot-and-blot hemorrhages
Neovascularization of the disc (NVD)
Macular edema
A 62 Y/O M with a long Hx of T2DM & HTN c/o progressive vision loss x1Y, now with significant glare & "halos" around lights at night. O/E, visual acuity is 6/18 bilaterally with a diminished red reflex. Fundoscopy is unremarkable for proliferative changes. What is the most likely diagnosis explaining his primary visual symptoms?
Open-angle glaucoma
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Cataract
Age-related macular degeneration
Presbyopia
A 54 Y/O F is diagnosed with acute dacryocystitis, presenting with a tender, erythematous swelling over the lacrimal sac. She is afebrile and systemically well. You have arranged an urgent referral to ophthalmology. What is the most appropriate initial outpatient prescription to start immediately?
Topical neomycin-polymyxin B-dexamethasone drops
Oral acyclovir
Oral amoxicillin-clavulanate
Topical erythromycin ointment
Intravenous vancomycin
58 Y/O M with a 10-year Hx of poorly controlled HTN presents for a routine exam. He denies any visual changes. O/E: BP is 175/105 mmHg. Fundoscopy is performed. Which of the following findings on fundoscopy is most specific for chronic hypertensive retinopathy in this patient?
Cotton-wool spots
Hard exudates
Dot and blot hemorrhages
Arteriovenous (AV) nipping
Neovascularization
34 Y/O M with HIV, non-compliant with ART, presents for a routine exam. He is visually asymptomatic. CD4 count is 80 cells/mm³. O/E: Fundoscopy shows multiple cotton-wool spots without associated hemorrhage or vitritis. What is the most likely Dx?
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis
Progressive outer retinal necrosis (PORN)
HIV retinopathy
Toxoplasma retinochoroiditis
Syphilitic chorioretinitis
45 Y/O M currently on Rx for pulmonary TB c/o severe R eye pain, photophobia, and redness x3D. O/E: Vision is blurred in the R eye. There is a marked ciliary flush (redness concentrated around the cornea). The pupil is constricted and poorly reactive to light. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Acute angle-closure glaucoma
Anterior uveitis
Infectious keratitis
Episcleritis
Viral conjunctivitis
