A

What is required to achieve binocular vision?

  • sensory needs: overlapping corresponding points, cortical processing, and sensory input for vergence
  • motor needs: anatomy and physiology, EOM control-neural pathways, and vergence system
  • accommodation + vergence needs: accuracy and sustainability of these systems and efficient system

A

What are the optometrist’s three components of vision?

  1. Visual integrity: visual acuity, refractive error, and ocular health
  2. Visual efficiency: accommodation, convergence, oculo-motility, binocular vision, and effect of uncorrected refractive error
  3. Visual information processing: interpreting and integrating visual information

Q

What is the difference between global and local stereopsis?

A

Local stereopsis is contour stereopsis; they do allow for monocular cues. Tend to overestimate stereoacuity.

Global stereopsis cannot be passed if there is a lack of binocularity. Should use randot in child pxs and pxs who you suspect there is a lack of binocularity.

What factors affect our amplitude of accommodation?

  • ametropia: myopes > emmetropes > hyperopes
  • spectacle correction: hyperopes need to accommodate more through their glasses
  • luminance: accommodation response is reduced at low luminance
  • neurological deficit
  • accommodation-convergence dysfunction
