ou

THESE are the symptoms of corneal abrasions

presbyopia

Distance visual acuity is typically assessed with THIS

Snellen chart

THESE are examined for abnormalities

The eyelids

THIS can help to prevent the corneal abrasion infection

antibiotic ophthalmic ointment

After the light passes through the cornea it passes through HERE

aqueous humor and pupil into the lens

Cataracts can be treated with THIS

artificial lens

Inflammation of the glands and lash follicles

blepharitis

Cataracts causes THESE

blurred and less acute vision

Opaque changes in the lens

caracts

THESE may prevent macular degeneration or slow its progress

carotene selenium zinc and vitamins C and E

Macula lutea is the progressive deterioration of macula lutea that causes progressive loss of THIS

central vision

An excessive secretion of THIS can cause hearing loss tinnitus a feeling of fullness and otalgia

cerumen

A small cyst

chalazion

THIS is converted into an electrical impulse

Light energy

The conductive hearing loss prevents THIS from passing through the external auditory canal

sound vibrations

THESE are used to avoid contamination

sterile technique and equipment

Eyes don't track together

strabismus

Throat cultures may be done to determine the presence of THIS

streptococcal infection

ursuelo

stye

Purulent fluid with fever,pain, hearing loss and it can be caused by URI or allergic reaction

suppurative

THIS contains aqueous humor

the anterior cavity

THIS adjusts the curvature of the lens to refract the light rays so they pass into the retina

the ciliary muscle

Laser-Assisted epithelium keratomileusis alows the epithelial layer to be rolled up and THIS to be seen

the cornea

Vision begans with the passage of light through HERE

the cornea

The bone-conducted vibration passes through the oval window into HERE

the inner hear

THIS is a transparent body that helps focus light after it passes through the cornea

the lens

THIS is an air-filled cavity that contains the ossicles

the middle ear

Light is sent through HERE, where interpretation occurs

the optic nerve to the brain

THIS onverts sound waves into nervous energy that is sent to the brain for interpretation

the organ of corti in the cochlea of the inner ear

THIS contains vitreous humor

the posterior cavity

HERE is where light rays are converted into nervous energy for interpretation by the brain

the retina in the inner layer of the eye

THIS maintains equilibrium

the semicircular canals in the inner ear

Conductive keratoplasty does THESE the cornea

tightens and makes the cornea sleeper

THIS is ringing in the ears

tinnitus

THIS can be used to treat corneal abrasion
