Titcomb, PT, DPT Thesis Chair ______________________________ David DeWitt, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Garth McGibbon, M.S. Committee Member ______________________________ Marilyn Gadomski, Ph.D. Assistant Honors Director ______________________________ Date THE COMPLEX HUMAN EYE 3 Abstract The human eye has been the cause of much controversy in regards to its complexity and how the human eye came to be. Through following and discussing the anatomical and physiological functions of the eye, a better understanding of the argument of origins can be seen. The anatomy of the human eye and its many functions are clearly seen, through its complexity. When observing the intricacy of vision and all of the different aspects and connections, it does seem that the human eye is a miracle, no matter its origins. Major biological functions and processes occurring in the retina show the intensity of the eye’s intricacy. After viewing the eye and reviewing its anatomical and physiological domain, arguments regarding its origins are more clearly seen and understood. Evolutionary theory, in terms of Darwin’s thoughts, theorized fossilization of animals, computer simulations of eye evolution, and new research on supposed prior genes occurring in lower life forms leading to human life.

Olivier Galatoire and Mathieu Zmuda of the A. de Rothschild Ophthalmological Foundation and Dr. Christine Levy-Gabriel of the Curie Institute. The subject is now of unquestionable importance and evidently of great interest to Ophthalmologists, whether they are orbital- palpebral specialists or not. Indeed, errors or delays in the diagnosis of tumor pathologies are relatively common and the consequences can be serious in the case of malignant tumors, especially carcinomas. Swift diagnosis and anatomopathological confirmation will lead to a treatment, discussed in multidisciplinary team meetings, ranging from surgery to radiotherapy.

  • Surgical Excision of Eyelid Lesions Reference Number: CP.VP.75 Coding Implications Last Review Date: 12/2020 Revision Log
    Clinical Policy: Surgical Excision of Eyelid Lesions Reference Number: CP.VP.75 Coding Implications Last Review Date: 12/2020 Revision Log See Important Reminder at the end of this policy for important regulatory and legal information. Description: The majority of eyelid lesions are benign, ranging from innocuous cysts and chalazion/hordeolum to nevi and papillomas. Key features that should prompt further investigation include gradual enlargement, central ulceration or induration, irregular borders, eyelid margin destruction or loss of lashes, and telangiectasia. This policy describes the medical necessity requirements for surgical excision of eyelid lesions. Policy/Criteria I. It is the policy of health plans affiliated with Centene Corporation® (Centene) that surgical excision and repair of eyelid or conjunctiva due to lesion or cyst or eyelid foreign body removal is medically necessary for any of the following indications: A. Lesion with one or more of the following characteristics: 1. Bleeding; 2. Persistent or intense itching; 3. Pain; 4. Inflammation; 5. Restricts vision or eyelid function; 6. Misdirects eyelashes or eyelid; 7. Displaces lacrimal puncta or interferes with tear flow; 8. Touches globe; 9. Unknown etiology with potential for malignancy; B. Lesions classified as one of the following: 1. Malignant; 2. Benign; 3. Cutaneous papilloma; 4. Cysts; 5. Embedded foreign bodies; C. Periocular warts associated with chronic conjunctivitis. Background The majority of eyelid lesions are benign, ranging from innocuous cysts and chalazion/hordeolum to nevi and papillomas. Key features that should prompt further investigation include gradual enlargement, central ulceration or induration, irregular borders, eyelid margin destruction or loss of lashes, and telangiectasia. Benign tumors, even though benign, often require removal and therefore must be examined carefully and the differential diagnosis of a malignant eyelid tumor considered and the method of removal planned.

  • PALPEBRAL APERTURE with SPECIAL REFERENCE to the SURGICAL CORRECTION of PSEUDOPTOSIS by Rudolf Aebli, M.D.*
    THE RELATIONSHIP OF PSEUDOPTOSIS TO MUSCLE TROPIAS AND THE PALPEBRAL APERTURE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE SURGICAL CORRECTION OF PSEUDOPTOSIS BY Rudolf Aebli, M.D.* BERKE'S (1) DISSERTATION on blepharoptosis in 1945 and Spaeth's (2) on the same subject in 1946 were both so complete and so admirable in all respects that there would be no justification at this time for a duplication of their contributions. On the other hand, with the exception of Kirby's (3) paper, in 1940, on ptosis associated with loss of elevation of the eyeball, relatively little has been written on the subject of pseudoptosis caused by vertical muscle tropias. Almost nothing, furthermore, has been written on the relationship of the palpebral aperture to these anomalies. This contribution has a threefold purpose: (1) to explain this relationship; (2) to outline the correct diagnostic procedure in ptosis of the eyelid which results from anomalies of this kind; and (3) to set forth the best methods of treatment for them. ANATOMIC CONSIDERATIONS Before it is possible to discuss intelligently the clinical aspects of muscle tropias and the relationship of the palpebral aperture to them, certain important (albeit elementary) anatomic considera- tions must be briefly summarized. When the eyelids are in their normal relationship to the eye- ball, the margin of the upper lid lies midway between the limbus and the pupillary margin of the iris, while the margin of the lower lid is at the limbus. When the eyes are opened normally, the lids are separated from each other by an elliptical space, the palpebral From the Department of Ophthalmology, New York University Post Graduate Medical School, and the University and Lenox Hill Hospitals, New York City.

Methods Photographs of ten healthy female study participants were taken with brow at rest, with light elevation and with forceful elevation. These photographs were then viewed at 2×magnification on a computer monitor and caliper was used to measure the amount of pull on the eyebrow in relation to the actual increase in vertical fissure of the eye. Results There was a positive, linear correlation between amount of eyebrow eleva- tion and height of the palpebral fissure, which was statistically significant.

  • A Pictorial Anatomy of the Human Eye/Anophthalmic Socket: a Review for Ocularists
    A Pictorial Anatomy of the Human Eye/Anophthalmic Socket: A Review for Ocularists ABSTRACT: Knowledge of human eye anatomy is obviously impor- tant to ocularists. This paper describes, with pictorial emphasis, the anatomy of the eye that ocularists generally encounter: the anophthalmic eye/socket. The author continues the discussion from a previous article: Anatomy of the Anterior Eye for Ocularists, published in 2004 in the Journal of Ophthalmic Prosthetics.1 Michael O. Hughes INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE B.C.O. Artificial Eye Clinic of Washington, D.C. Understanding the basic anatomy of the human eye is a requirement for all Vienna, Virginia health care providers, but it is even more significant to eye care practition- ers, including ocularists. The type of eye anatomy that ocularists know, how- ever, is more abstract, as the anatomy has been altered from its natural form. Although the companion eye in monocular patients is usually within the normal range of aesthetics and function, the affected side may be distorted. While ocularists rarely work on actual eyeballs (except to cover microph- thalmic and blind, phthisical eyes using scleral cover shells), this knowledge can assist the ocularist in obtaining a naturally appearing prosthesis, and it will be of greater benefit to the patient. An easier exchange among ocularists, surgeons, and patients will result from this knowledge.1, 2, 3 RELATIONSHIPS IN THE NORMAL EYE AND ORBIT The opening between the eyelids is called the palpebral fissure. In the nor- mal eye, characteristic relationships should be recognized by the ocularist to understand the elements to be evaluated in the fellow eye.
