Tractional retinal detachments occur when scar tissue in the vitreous pulls the retina forward.

Retinitis Inflammation of the retina, most commonly the result of infection. Retinopathy A disease or disorder of the retina.

Rubeosis iridis (roo-bee-oh´-sis ir´-i-dis) Neovascularization (abnormal blood vessel growth) on the iris, often seen with diabetes and with retinal vein occlusions. May cause neovascular glaucoma.

Sclera (sklehr´-a) The white outer coat of the eyeball.

Scleral buckle A surgical procedure used to repair retinal detachments in which a band or sponge is sewn onto the sclera to indent it.

Scleritis An inflammation of the sclera associated with autoimmune disease (a turning of the immune system against one’s own tissues).

Scotoma (ska-toh´-ma) A blind spot.

Seborrhea (seb´-a-ree´-a) An oil gland disorder marked by an increased amount and thickness of oil gland secretions. It is associated with one form of blepharitis.

Sjögren’s (shoh´-grinz or zha-grinz´) syndrome Dry eye syndrome associated with rheumatic diseases.

Staphylococcus (staf´´-a-lo-cok´-us) A bacterium commonly associated with eye infections. Often called “staph” for short. Some forms live in the skin.

Strabismus (stra-biz´-mus) A misalignment of the eyes. Examples include esotropia (turning in) and exotropia (turning out).

Stye An inflamed, often infected, oil gland that points toward the margin of the eyelid. Also called an external hordeolum.

Tear duct The passageway through the bone of the nose that carries the tears from the lacrimal sac to the interior of the nose.Also called nasolacrimal duct.

Tear film The layer of tears that coats the cornea. Consists of an outer oily layer, a middle watery layer, and an inner mucin (mucous) layer.

Tear gland A gland that produces tears. Consists of the main tear gland and the small, accessory tear glands located in the upper eyelids. Also called lacrimal gland.

Temporal arteritis An autoimmune disease of elderly people marked by inflammation and closure of arteries, especially those of the head. May cause optic neuropathy as well as central retinal artery occlusions.

Thyroid ophthalmopathy (of-thal-mah´-pa-thee) Disorders of the eyes seen in people with hyperthyroidism.

Trabecular (tra-bek´-yoo-ler) meshwork The channels located in the angle where aqueous humor drains out of the anterior chamber.

Trabeculectomy A surgical procedure for glaucoma in which a channel is created in the sclera to allow the aqueous humor to bypass the trabecular meshwork. The aqueous humor collects under a conjunctival bleb. Also called filtering procedure.

Trabeculoplasty A glaucoma procedure performed with the argon laser in which tiny burn spots are applied over the trabecular meshwork to facilitate the outflow of aqueous humor and thereby lower the intraocular pressure.

Ultrasound High-frequency, inaudible sound waves that sometimes can be used in a manner similar to X rays for diagnosis. Also used in phacoemulsification to pulverize the lens nucleus.

Ultraviolet A form of invisible light that comes from the sun and from some artificial light sources.

Uveal tract The iris, ciliary body, and choroid. These heavily pigmented structures of the eye are also known as the uvea.

Uveitis (yoo-vee-eye´-tis) Inflammation of part or all of the uveal tract. Forms of uveitis include iritis, iridocyclitis, cyclitis, vitritis, and choroiditis.

Virus A primitive, infectious particle consisting of DNA or RNA with a protein coat.

Visual acuity The ability to see tiny details in the center of one’s field of vision. Visual field The full extent of one’s vision, including both central vision and

peripheral version.

Vitrectomy An operation to remove some of the vitreous from the eye. Sometimes performed in diabetics to remove blood and scar tissue but also used for other indications.

Vitreous humor The gel-like material that fills the cavity of the eye between the retina and the lens. Partially liquefies with age. Usually called “vitreous” for short.

Vitritis Inflammation in the vitreous caused by uveitis.
