Others
Glaucoma almost always is associated with uveitic inflammation.
in congenital syphilis, interstitial keratitis is associated with adult
secondary glaucoma in 15-20% of patients.
glaucoma develops an average of 27 years after the initial episode
of interstitial keratitis has subsided.
Lids/eyebrows
Chancre rarely occurs in the primary stage.
Brow loss at its temporal aspect has been reported in secondary and
tertiary syphilis.
Tarsitis or lid abscess rarely occurs in the tertiary stage.
Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia, related to the gumma of tertiary
syphilis. These lesions generally are elevated, and they have an uneven
surface that is either ulcerated or crusty, which appears similar to
squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma .

Most new cases occur in the most populated nations: India and China
The highest rates of disease are seen in sub-Saharan Africa, the Indonesian and
Philippine archipelagos, Afghanistan, Bolivia, and Peru. In these regions case rates
typically exceed 300 cases per 100 000 per year.
In April 1993 increasing rates of tuberculosis led to the World Health Organization
declaring a global emergency.
Globally, the most common opportunistic infection and the leading cause of death
related to HIV infection is tuberculosis.
In some areas, like New York city, as many as 19% of the cases of
tuberculosis were attributable to multidrug resistant tuberculosis.
Mortuary workers, microbiology staff, and those caring for patients with
tuberculosis should have a pre-employment chest radiograph and tuberculin test.
Mycobacteria are Gram-positive, although they are not easily stained by this
method.
The body's immune system normally tags any invading bacteria with proteins that alert
macrophages to consume it. One of these proteins, C2a, then floats in the blood with no known function.
M tuberculosis manages to associate with this discarded C2a protein and use it to create a new
label that helps the bacteria adhere to the macrophage and enter it.
Once inside the macrophage, the mycobacteria multiply until the cell ruptures and the bacteria are
then released to repeat the process
Tuberculosis and the Eye
Pathology
The initial pulmonary lesion, the Ghon focus, together with the hilar lymph-
adenopathy, forms the primary complex of Ranke.
Some bacilli are disseminated through lymphatics and blood, leading in some
cases to meningeal, bone, and renal involvement.
Tuberculosis and the Eye

10 warning signs of treatable eye disease in the
newborn and infant.
These first three of the ten warning signs of significant
eye disease in infancy and childhood have the most
serious implications and most require early definitive
treatment. Fortunately, they are rare!
Cataract - 1 in 250
Glaucoma - 1 in 10,000
Retinoblastoma - 1 in 20,000
Congenital Cataracts
2 Drooping Lid
Lump or swelling of lids with or without redness, heat, or pain
(signs of inflammation)
- this can be a sign of cellulitis, tumor, hemangioma, etc.
- occlusion of the pupil can cause amblyopia - immediate treatment
is indicated.
5 Crossed Eyes
Intermittently crossed eyes persisting after the 2 to 4 months of age should be evaluated by an
ophthalmologist to establish a diagnosis and plan treatment. Crossing can require surgery,
done in some cases as young as 4 months.
Other crossing can require treatment with spectacles. Eyes that deviate constantly should be
evaluated immediately!
6 Nystagmus
Dancing Eyes "Dancing eyes" which move from side to side, in a rotary
pattern, or up and down.
This can be a sign of eye (vision) disease, or serious disease of the brain and
should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist soon.
Vision Screening
The purpose of vision screening is to identify chldren with one or
more of the following conditions:
1) Decreased vision in one or both eye(s) (below an arbitrary standard)
2) Eye conditions which could lead to decreased vision in one or both
eye(s)
3) Strabismus (crossed or wall eye)
4) Other eye related conditions such as: ptosis (droopy lid), nystagmus
(dancing eyes), head tilt, etc.
each eye should see at least 20/40 with no more than 2 lines
difference between the two eyes (OD 20/20 OS 20/40) is failure
Observe for:
eye crossing
crossed or "wall" eye
nystagmus (dancing eyes)
droopy lid
head tilt
Amblyopia
Definition: Reduced vision in one eye or occasionally
both eyes caused by pattern vision deprivation or
abnormal binocular interaction for which no causes can be
detected by physical examination of the eye and which in
appropriate cases is reversible by therapeutic
measures (from von Noorden).
The newborn visual system can be thought of in terms of a
"clean slate". After birth, acuity improves from less than 20/200 in
the first hours and days to a nearly normal 20/40 equivalent at 1
year, and to 20/20 by school age.
The process of central nervous system development leading to
improved vision makes the immature visual system especially
vulnerable to the harmful effects of unequal or blurred sensory
input causing suppression of the blurred image and the visual
system that receives it.
Strabismic Amblyopia
Constant use of the left eye causes suppression of the right eye
which produces amblyopia.
strabismus
Angle Kappa
The angle bet visual and central pupillary line
A nasally centered pupillary light reflex gives the appearance of exotropia and
is physiologic.
Extraocular Muscles
Spiral of Tillaux
The line of insertion where the rectus muscles insert in sclera gradually farther from the
limbus beginning with the medial rectus at 5.5mm (range 3.0 to 6.0mm), inferior rectus
6.5mm, lateral rectus 6.9mm and superior rectus 7.7mm.
It is also the line of insertion of posterior Tenon's capsule which then proceeds to the
limbus as the episclera fused with the underlying sclera.
Recti
The rectus muscles are each 40mm long.
They receive innervation on the global surface at the junction of the middle and
posterior 1/3 of the muscle.
The pulleys are located on the orbital surface at the junction of the middle and
posterior 1/3 of the globe. The pulleys are fibromuscular structures that act as
functional origins of recti
Superior Oblique
The superior oblique (S.O.) is made up of a 30mm muscle, and 30mm tendon with the
trochlea between.
The S.O. has its functional origin in the trochlea. This unique structure allows an 8mm
increase in the trochlear insertion distance in upgaze and an 8mm decrease in distance
between the S.O. insertion and trochlea in downgaze.
Action
Blood Supply
A long posterior ciliary artery travels from the back of the eye in
sclera beneath the horizontal recti.
The oblique muscles do not contribute to the blood supply of the
anterior segment of the eye.
Anterior Ciliaries
EOM Innervation
lateral rectus
innervated by the sixth cranial nerve.
The nucleus is located in the brain stem and the nerve is
uncrossed.
superior oblique
innervated by the fourth cranial nerve which crosses to reach the muscle.
The nerve passes through the "stiff" tentorium making it susceptible to
the shearing force produced by brain oscillation in closed head trauma.
third cranial nerve
Innervates
the medial rectus
superior rectus
inferior rectus
inferior oblique
levator palpebri.
Muscle Fibers
At least two types of muscle fibers are present - they differ in
several parameters
By innervation: multiple - single
By action: slow - fast
By layer: global - orbital
Contracted/overlapping/
"stiff" muscle occurs with chronic, unopposed contraction, i.e. M.R. in chronic
VI N palsy -- "lost" contracted M.R. and after injection of local anesthetics --
as in diplopia after cataract.

Retina Function
Layers of the Retina
(1) retinal pigment epithelium;
(2) rods and cones;

(4) outer nuclear layer;
(5) outer plexiform layer;
(6) inner nuclear layer;
(7) inner plexiform layer;
(8) ganglion cell layer;
(9) nerve fiber layer;
(10) inner limiting membrane
Layers of the Retina
All vertebrate retinas are composed of three layers of nerve cell
bodies and two layers of synapses. The outer nuclear layer contains
cell bodies of the rods and cones, the inner nuclear layer contains
cell bodies of the bipolar, horizontal and amacrine cells and the
ganglion cell layer contains cell bodies of ganglion cells and
displaced amacrine cells. Dividing these nerve cell layers are two
neuropils where synaptic contacts occur.
