Clinical ProblemThe First Step in solving ANY Problem is to:
DEFINE THE PROBLEM
• Solving of a patients Clinical Problem– In ophthalmology, almost 99% of the
information collected and utilized in making the initial tentative diagnosis which will direct the subsequent diagnostic and therapeutic plan is based on:The clinicians OBSERVATIONS

Examination Environment
The examination environment is important and can greatly influence the examination results. In an environment that is too distractive and bright, a complete careful examination can not be done; especially in an animal that is unruly. Small animals are best examined on a table with a non-slip surface. Unruly cats can be placed in a cat bag for the examination. For large animals, try to locate a non-confined area that is away from the general activity, which provides adequate lighting that can be reduced when necessary.
Menace Response
• This is a response and it is learned.
• The endpoint is a blink. QuickTimeª and a

Gross Evaluation of the Head • Step back and compare the palpebral
fissures for their size, symmetry, position of the upper eyelid cilia and the general eyelid form, as well as characterization of any ocular discharge.
• Ocular discharge if present should be characterized as serous, mucoid, purulent, hemorrhagic, seromucoid, mucopurulent, or serosanguinous.
Gross Evaluation of the Head – The position of the upper eyelid cilia normally should be
directed nearly perpendicular -semivertical to the corneal surface. Subtle ptosis or drooping of the eyelid without noticeable narrowing of the fissure would be detected by observing more ventrally directed cilia. Horner's syndrome: sympathetic denervation (ptosis, miosis, enophthalmia, prolapsed third eyelid) can be due to pre or post ganglionic sympathetic denervation.
Pupillary symmetry
Pupillary symmetry can be evaluated by viewing the animal head on from about 6 feet through a direct ophthalmoscope set a 0 diopters and stimulating a tapetal reflection (eye shine).
Reflexes and Neurological Responses
• Palpebral Reflex • Corneal Reflex• Dazzle Reflex• Pupillary Light Reflex
Reflexes and Neurological Responses
• Palpebral Reflex Video on the left shows a clinical example of the technique as well as clinical patient with a CN 5 lesion.
Left eye Normal palpebral reflex
Right eye Abnormal
CN 5 Lesion
Notice that the lack of sensation is only in the temporal upper lid not nasal so if only the nasal area was stimulated the CN5 lesion would have been missed!!!Tests CN 5 and CN 7

Reflexes and Neurological Responses
• Corneal Reflex
Note: A sterile cotton tipped applicator can be used to gently touch the cornea. Alternatively a simpler method is to just pay attention to the reaction of the eye to the placement of the Schirmer Tear Test Strip.
Tests Ophthalmic branch of CN 5 (corneal sensation), CN 7 (closer of the eyelids) and CN 6 (retraction of globe).

A bright light used to stimulate direct PLR and ideally a second person then observes the fellow pupil with a weak dim light in
most species, since it is hard to see the fellow pupil in just room light.

Third Eyelid
The third eyelid is covered with the palpebral conjunctiva which has bulbar and palpebral surfaces and the obvious gross feature is that the bulbar surface has a cluster of lymph follicles. Examine the anterior surface simply by retropulsing the globe.
CorneaEvaluate the cornea briefly for its clarity and surface characteristics (smooth, uniform and glistening normally).

Fluorescein
Note: If an Immunofluorescent Antibody Test (IFA for Herpes or Chlamydia) is planned in a cat, do not apply Fluorescein before doing the conjunctival scraping. Fluorescein will cause a false positive test result to occur. Fluorescein may affect the IFA result for up to 7 - 10 days.

At the completion of the exam:
• Make a list of all of the problems that were identified.
• This list can be as unrefined (red eye) or refined (anterior uveitis) as you can at this point.
• Create the Temporary Problem List
Try to Group Problem“Refine” Problem List
• For Example:– Conjunctival hyperemia– Serous ocular discharge– Aqueous Flare– Miosis– Enophthalmia with prolapse of the third eyelid
• Group to: ANTERIOR UVEITIS
Initial Differential DiagnosisFor Each Problem
• For Example: There are at least twelve possible reasons for the Red Eye
• Blepharitis• Cherry Eye• Conjunctivitis• Corneal Hemorrhage• Episcleritis• Glaucoma• Hyphema• Iris Hemorrhage• Intraocular Neoplasia• Keratitis• Subconjunctival Hemorrhage• Uveitis
Clinical Diagnosis• The Tentative Clinical Diagnosis is based
upon the findings in the previous steps.– Combination of the
• Signalment• Primary Complaint• History• Ophthalmic Examination
• A Final Diagnosis can be made initially or after subsequent diagnostic tests have been performed.
Therapy• The therapy of course depends on the diagnosis
– Many times there are pending laboratory test or other diagnostic procedures and the exact clinical diagnosis can not be made yet. However the patient needs some form of therapy started immediately.
– The decision of what therapy to initially institute is based on the findings up to this point. One must be cautious and avoid therapies that could cause harm if given in the face of a condition where that therapy was contraindicated.
Prognosis
• Depends on severity of the problems.• Depends on accuracy of diagnosis.• Depends on the diagnosis; some disorders
are more serious than others.
Re-examination Plan
• Hospitalize• Send home on treatment
– Re-examine 24 hours to 7 days• Depending on the severity and what the diagnosis is.
