Winter 2012
1. IRATESKIT produces soars, ulcers, or scars on the cornea as a result of infections (bacterial, fungal, or viral), vitamin deficiencies, environmental irritants, or lack of tears.
2. PUBLISHBITHIS is caused by low intraocular pressure in the eye(s), which in turn makes the affected eye(s) shrink.
3. AHIPAKA is most often associated with cataracts because it refers to the absence of one or both lenses.
4. MACBOOLO often gives the pupil a keyhole appearance since it makes a cleft or a notch in the iris, lens, pupil, ciliary body, choroid, retina, or optic nerve.
5. CRANETOOKUS diminishes the thickness of the corneas so that they become cone-shaped, resulting in reduced distance acuity, distorted visual fields, astimigatism, and sensitivity to glare. Initially, this condition can often be treated with contact lenses, but as it progresses, it may require corneal transplants.

6. MAINLIBS refers to total or partial lack of pigmentation in the skin, hair, or iris and can cause reduced acuity, nystagmus, strabismus, and photophobia as a result of an underdeveloped fovea.
