OCULAR ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY The ability to see is dependent on the actions of several structures in and around the eyeball. The graphic below lists many of the essential components of the eye‟s optical system. Figure 1 – Essential components of the eye‟s optical system [12] When you look at an object, light rays are reflected from the object to the cornea, which is where the miracle begins. The light rays are bent, refracted and focused by the cornea, lens, and vitreous. The lens‟ job is to make sure the rays come to a sharp focus on the retina. The resulting image on the retina is upside-down. Here at the retina, the light rays are converted to electrical impulses which are then transmitted through the optic nerve, to the brain, where the image is translated and perceived in an upright position. 7 The eye (Lat. – oculus; Greek – ophthalmos) is the organ that allows us to see. It is situated in the eye socket. An eye socket, or an orbit, is a bony cup in the skull that contains the eyeball with its auxiliary apparatus (vessels, nerves, muscles, fat, fascia, tear glands, connective membrane and lacrimal passages). The eyeball itself is a sphere spanning approximately 24 mm in diameter. The depth of the orbit in adults is 4 cm, width of the entrance to the orbit – 4 cm, height – 3.5 cm. The walls of the orbit are as follows: superior wall (a roof); inferior wall (a floor); medial wall; lateral wall. How each of them is formed? 1. The superior wall is formed by the frontal part of the orbital bone, and the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone. 2. The inferior orbital wall is formed by a part of the orbital surface of the maxilla, zygomatic bone, orbital process of palatine bone. 3. The medial wall is formed by the frontal offshoot of the upper jaw, lacrimal bone, orbital plate lattice bones, body sphenoid bone and frontal part of the orbital bone. 4. The lateral orbital surface is formed by the greater wings of the sphenoid bone, zygomatic bone. The orbit borders with the outer wall of the nasal cavity, namely the ethmoid labyrinth; at the top – the orbital part of the anterior cranial fossa, which houses the frontal lobes of the brain, as well as the frontal sinus of the frontal bone. Outside – the borders of the temporal fossa, at the bottom – from the top wall of the maxillary sinus of the upper jaw. An eyeball consists of three layers and an internal optic core. There are three covers: external (fibrous membrane); 8 middle (choroid); internal (retina). The outer layer is placed around the outside of the eye, plays a mechanical role, which is protective and is the mainstay of the eye. There are two parts of the outer layer: anterior (cornea); posterior (sclera). The eyes move symmetrically (in the same direction at the same time). These symmetrical movements are made possible through the coordination of the extraocular muscles (muscles outside the eye). Around the eyes there are three pairs of eye muscles. One pair of eyes turns left and right, the second – up and down, and the third pair rotates it relative to the optical axis. Since the eyes are paired structures, the brain receives two slightly different images that overlap with one another. Interpretation of the different images is possible via coordinated eye movements achieved by complex neural mechanisms. Humans are also able to perceive three- dimensional images because they possess binocular vision, which enables the perception of depth and distance. Conjunctiva is a mucous membrane covering the under surface of the lids and anterior part of the eyeball up to the cornea. Parts of conjunctiva: palpebral (covering the lids – firmly adherent); forniceal (covering the fornices – loose – thrown into folds); bulbar (covering the eyeball – loosely attached except at limbus); marginal and limbal parts, and plica semilunaris. 9 Nerve supply Sensory innervation: bulbar conjunctiva – long ciliary nerves – nasociliary n. – an ophthalmic division of the trigeminal n.; superior palpebral and forniceal conjunctiva – frontal and lacrimal branches of Ophthalmic division of the trigeminal n.; inferior palpebral and forniceal conjunctiva – laterally from lacrimal branches of the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal n. and medially to the infraorbital n. – maxillary n.; a division of the trigeminal n.

Here, we would like to introduce simple ways to find the CG by 1): tracing the sensory and parasympathetic roots to find the CG from the superior direction above the orbit, 2): transecting and retracting the lateral rectus muscle to visualize the CG from the lateral direction of the orbit, and 3): taking out whole orbital structures first and dissecting to observe the CG. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods are discussed from the standpoint of decreased laboratory time and students as beginners at orbital anatomy. Introduction dissection course for the first time and with limited time. In addition, there are few clear pictures in anatomical The ciliary ganglion (CG) is one of the four para- textbooks showing the morphology of the CG. There are sympathetic ganglia in the head and neck region located some scientific articles concerning how to visualize the behind the eyeball between the optic nerve and the lateral CG, but they are mostly based on the clinical approaches rectus muscle in the apex of the orbit (Siessere et al., rather than based on the anatomical procedure for medical 2008).

The signal benefit derived from these diagrams as illustrations in teaching, and their great convenience for ready reference in practice, have led to their republication, reduced to one-fourth the size of the originals. The Editor has made some additions where greater detail seemed desirable, has grouped the spinal nerves in their plexuses, and has added to the text a synopsis of the various sympathetic ganglia. His alterations have been very slight, and limited almost exclusively to the mechanical arrangement, e.g. in the mode of bifurcation of the brachial plexus. 1729 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, January 1, 1874.

  • Ophthalmic Ultrasound

    Ophthalmic Ultrasound

    Policy: 94047 Initial Effective Date: 10/20/1994 SUBJECT: Ophthalmic Ultrasound - A-scan ultrasound biometry - A-scan ultrasound - quantitative Annual Review Date: 11/11/2019 - B-scan ultrasound - Corneal pachymetry - Optical coherence biometry Last Revised Date: 11/11/2019 Definition: Ophthalmic ultrasonography, also known as echography, uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to produce images of ocular structures. The two main types of ultrasound used in ophthalmologic practice are A-Scan and B- scan. Ophthalmic ultrasound includes the following techniques: • A-scan ultrasound biometry: A-scan (time amplitude scan) ultrasound is a one-dimensional recording of the time taken for echoes to be reflected back to the transducer from surfaces of the eye (cornea, anterior lens, posterior lens, and retina) with vertical spikes that correspond to each tissue interface zone. A-scan ultrasound can be performed using either an applanation or immersion technique. The applanation technique is performed using a probe placed directly on the surface of the cornea. The immersion technique involves placing a saline filled scleral shell between the probe and the eye. Intraocular lens power calculation is the determination of the appropriate intraocular lens prior to cataract surgery. Standard intraocular lens power formulas use axial length and corneal curvature along with an intraocular lens constant to predict postoperative intraocular lens position. Precise ophthalmic biometry is essential to achieve the desired refractive outcome in cataract surgery. In A-scan biometry, axial length is the distance between the corneal and retinal echo. • Quantitative A-scan ultrasound: The other major use of A-scan ultrasonography is to characterize the internal structure of intraocular and orbital lesions.

Surgical procedures approaching the lateral side of the orbit are at risk of CG injury which results in transient mydriasis and tonic pupil. This study aims to focus on the morphometric study of the CG which is pertinent to intraoperative procedure. Materials and methods: Forty embalmed cadaveric globes were dissected to ob- serve the location, shape and size of CG, characteristics and number of roots reaching CG, number of short ciliary nerve in the orbit. Distances from CG to posterior end of globe, optic nerve, lateral rectus muscle and its scleral insertion were measured. Results: Ciliary ganglion was located between optic nerve and lateral rectus in every case. Its shape could be oval, round and irregular. Mean width of CG was 2.24 mm and mean length was 3.50 mm. Concerning the roots, all 3 roots were present in 29 (72.5%) cases. Absence of motor root was found in 7 (17.5%) cases.

An early developmental lack of the optic vesicle can result in congenital anophthalmia, defned as a complete absence of the eye, which can be distinguished from congenital microphthalmos, where ocular rudiments are present. Here, a rare pediatric case of congenital clinical anophthalmos with orbital cyst in the lef orbit is reported. Te patient was a 14-month-old girl with no other congenital defects who underwent surgical and prothetic management in St. Joseph’sHospital Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Surgery was carried out under general anesthesia. Te cyst was punctured and its wall fully excised. Near the orbital apex pigmented elements representing iris, ciliary body, and choroidal or retinal remnants were found.
