Cataracts symptoms Glare Misty vision Blurred vision Cannot see distances/faces
Examining for cataract…red reflex Looking through ophthalmoscope, check red reflex from 10 cm, focusing on iris rim

Glaucoma, mechanism • Aqueous produced in ciliary body (carbonic anhydrase enzyme) • Flows into >anterior chamber, >through trabecular >meshwork, >canal of schlemm, >episcleral veins • > otherwise pressure
Glaucoma, loss of visual field • Visual loss over years • 2/3 chronic glaucoma has a high pressure…pressure is detected by whom • A patient • B optometrist
