Where does the limbal part of conjunctiva derive its blood supply from?
AAnterior conjunctival artery
BPosterior conjunctival artery
CBoth
DNone
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: C. Both
Explanation: The limbal part of the conjunctiva derives its blood supply from Both the anterior and posterior conjunctival arteries. Blood Supply of the Conjunctiva: Marginal Conjunctiva: Supplied by the marginal arcade of the eyelid. Forniceal Conjunctiva: Supplied by the peripheral arcade of the eyelid. Limbal (Bulbar) Conjunctiva: Supplied by both: Posterior conjunctival arteries: Branches of the peripheral arterial arcade of the eyelids. Anterior conjunctival arteries: Branches of the anterior ciliary arteries. These two systems anastomose near the limbus (corneal margin) to form the pericorneal plexus.
Sample MCQ #6
Sub-mandibular nodes receive lymphatics from which part of conjunctiva?
AMedial 1/3 of superior conjunctiva
BMedial 2/3 of inferior conjunctiva
CLateral 2/3 of superior conjunctiva
DBoth A & B
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: D. Both A & B
The lymphatic drainage is to the submandibular nodes, which drain the medial one-third of the superior conjunctiva and the medial two-thirds of the inferior conjunctiva, and the preauricular nodes, which drain the lateral two-thirds of the superior conjunctiva and lateral one-third of the inferior conjunctiva. Reference: Parson’s Diseases of the Eye-Edition 23-Chap 11-Diseases of the Conjunctiva
Sample MCQ #7
Which type of conjunctival secretions are most likely seen in Vernal Kerato-Conjunctivitis?

Sample MCQ #8

ATopical antibiotics are mainstay in treatment.
BTopical steroid use is not indicated.
CSystemic antibiotics will be required in pre-septal cellulitis.
DUse of bandage is recommended for associated photophobia.
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: D. Use of bandage is recommended for associated photophobia.
Management of Bacterial conjunctivitis: Topical anti-biotics: Broad spectrum drugs ( Ofloxacin/ chloramphenicol) 4-6 times a day Topical steroids: Not indicated Systemic anti-biotics: in case of pyrexia/ pre-septal cellulitis Use of bandage: contra-indicated- prevents drainage of secretions/ increases local temperature and promotes bacterial growth For photophobia, sun glasses can be used. Pad and bandage can promote growth of more bacteria Reference: Parson’s Diseases of the Eye-Edition 23-Chap 11-Diseases of the Conjunctiva
