Opthalmology
- Visual acuity with a snellen chart, and ophthalmoscopy
- asked by examiner to read instructions and proceed.
- instruments available: the pinhole instrument u need to eliminate refractive error, plastic head with one slide in each eye, and then 3 pictures of fundi.
- told not to bother with the 'browny points' bits (introducing myself etc..) when got to fundoscopy but rather to just get straight to using the opthalmoscope. Then asked to present what i could see.
- asked for my diagnosis
- On a real patient – I saw black pigmentation on the retina especially around the periphery – possibly retinitis pigmentosa but this was very tricky and I did not get the diagnosis in the exam.
- Scarring from from photocoagulation therapy. I wasn't very sure at first what was going on but the examiner told me she had diabetes.
- Proliferative diabetic retinopathy
- Two of the images had lots of cotton wool spots, one had papilloedema
- Eye station - Snellen and ophthalmoscope and four pictures - i think diabetic, optic atrophy, laser burns, papilloedema
- Senile macular degeneration and glaucoma in the other eye. Then shown other picture, papilloedema
- Hypertensive eye disease and one other.central retinal vein occlusion, diabetic background, retinopathy, maculopathy...
