OPHTHALMONICS
(Ophthalmology Mnemonics)
I do not pretend that this manual will cause a lot improvement in your
preparation, despite that, I am proud of what I have produced and hope you will find
it a useful memory aid and help to increase your confidence in memorizing some
confusing but important facts!
Many of these may be just simple fundamentals, but during your exams or MCQ
test, there may not be time to recollect your basics and you may give wrong answer. I
hope this manual of mnemonics may help to reduce your evaporation.
Good luck!

Heterochromia
Difference in colour of the iris in the same eye is called heterochromia iridis.
Difference in colour between the iris of the two eyes is called heterochromia iridium.
Hypersensitivity
OCP is type 2-twO hypersensitivity reaction.
o Melanoma - S100+

Lacrimal Gland
Orbital lobe of lacrimal gland is anterior and Palpebral lobe is posterior.
??? how can this basic anatomy has controversy…ooops..but I think it is controversial.few
books write palpebral is anterior and orbital is posterior.!!
Yes…!! Duane’s 2007 says that it’s actually Superior and Inferior. Orbital is superior and
Palpebral is posterior…but by reading it thoroughly, the above controversial line seems
true…still it’s difficult to believe for me. Many other textbooks quotes reverse..!! or we
can just remember it like superior and inferior lobes of the lacrimal gland. I don’t know
exactly which is anterior and which is posterior..!!
Treponemal Tests
Fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorption (FTA-ABS) and microhemagglutination of
Treponema pallidum (MHA-TP) are the closest to a “gold standard” for syphilis testing.
The Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) and rapid plasma reagin (RPR) tests reflect
treponemal infection and revert to normal when treated.

Ophthalmonics Dhaval Patel MD
DNA viruses
HHAPPPPPy
o Herpes - HSV, VZV, CMV (blueberry muffin baby), Roseola (HHV6 and 7 - half a
dozen roses), Kaposi's (HHV8), possibly PR
o Hepadna - Hepatitis B
o Adeno
o Polyoma = JC John Cunningham Virus - PML - why Efalizumab taken off market;
Merkel Cell = CK20 - paranuclear dot
o Parvo B19 = slapped cheeks, lacy rash, anemia, joint pain in adults. Bad in
pregnancy, sickle cell.
Synaptic Body
The synaptic body of a rod is called a spherule, whereas that of the cone is called a
pedicle.
The inner layer of the optic cup contains the pluripotent retinal progenitor cells, which
differentiate in a specific chronologic sequence and defined histogenic order into the final
seven retinal cell types. In general, the Ganglion cells differentiate first, followed by the
cone photoreceptors, amacrine cells, horizontal cells, and finally, the rod photoreceptors,
bipolar cells, and Müller cells.
Corneal quadrants

Ishihara Clues

Wilbrand’s Knee
Just think this “KNEE” as “NI” and you have the answer Nasal and Inferior
The inferior nasal retinal fibers cross in the anterior chiasm and are thought to loop
anteriorly in the contralateral optic nerve before traveling posteriorly, leading to the term
Wilbrand's knee (NI=Nasal + Inferior). It is now thought that Wilbrand's knee may be an
artifact.

Axis of Eye
FOVea
o Fixation Axis: This is a straight line that joins center of rotation of eyeball with
fixation point
23
Ophthalmonics Dhaval Patel MD
o Optical Axis: A line passing through center of cornea, center of lens and posterior
pole of retina is the optical axis of eyeball
o Visual Axis: A line joining point of fixation with fovea and passing through nodal
point of eyeball is called visual axis. Nodal point of eyeball is just anterior to
posterior capsule of lens. Fixation point is the point which is being seen with fovea
at any particular moment.
o Pupillary Line: This is a straight line that passes through center of pupil
Reflex convergence

2. Tonic: It means that when the patient is awake there is an inherent tone in the
extraocular muscles.
24
Ophthalmonics Dhaval Patel MD
Hyperopia
Total hyperopia= manifest hyperopia (absolute hyperopia + facultative hyperopia) +
latent hyperopia. T=MafL
Manifest: Both part of hyperopia that can and cannot be corrected by the power of
accommodation
Latent: That part of hyperopia that can be corrected by the tone of ciliary muscle
Direct ophthalmoscope
In DO, the optic disc may not be focused as you see it, as hypermetropic patients require
more “plus” (green numbers) lenses for clear focus of the fundus while myopia patients
require more “minus” (red numbers). MiRe

Focal Points
primary focal point (F1) , The point along the optical axis at which an object must be
placed for parallel rays to emerge from the lens. Thus, the image is at infinity.
secondary focal point (F2), The point along the optical axis at which parallel incoming
rays are brought into focus. It is equal to 1/lens power in diopters (D). The object is now
at infinity.
