An objective method of examining the interior of the eye
ophthalmoscopy
To measure the anterior radius of curvature of cornea.
ophthalmometry
Assess the quality of tears (N° 3secs.)
To assess if cornea is steep or flat
ophthalmometry
To determine Base Curve for CLs Fitting (hard CLs)
- ophthalmometry
To assess any ocular pathology e.g. Keratoconus / Kl plana
- ophthalmometry
To measure the tonic innervation of the muscles at 20 ft.
- habitual phoria test at far
- induced phoria at far
To determine lateral muscular imbalance at far
- habitual phoria test at far
To measure the tonic innervation of the muscles at 16 inches/40 cm
To determine the relative horizontal position of the visual axes when fusion has been broken.
13a. habitual phoria test at near
13b. induced phoria at near
To determine the refractive power of the eye objectively
- static retinoscopy
Measures intensity & deterioration of visual pattern
- dynamic retinoscopy @ 20”
allows rapid assessment of accommodative ability. The key to the technique is the neutralization of the retinoscopic reflex that occurs when the patient accommodates on a target adjacent to the retinoscope.
dynamic retinoscopy
Measures of negative relative accommodation @ 40”
- dynamic retinoscopy @ 40”
to check the equality of spherical amount.
- subjective refraction @ far
the assessment of refractive status by a combination of spherical and cylindrical lenses to determine the best-corrected visual acuity with accommodation relaxed.
- subjective refraction @ far
Checking the equalization on both eyes using the 3^BU & 3^BD (upper left and lower right)
Equilibrium Test (Binocular Balance)
To subjectively determine the near refractive power of the patient’s eye
For px with presbyopia or Rx at near
For px with medium to high myopia
For px with plus at near
7a. subjective refraction @ near
For px with presbyopia or Rx at near
For px with medium to high myopia
For px with plus at near
7a. subjective refraction @ near
To measure the tonic innervation of the muscles at 20 ft.
To determine the relative horizontal position of the visual axes when fusion has been broken
- induced phoria test @ far
represents the point when the px can no longer compensate for the prism induced retinal disparity while maintaining stable accommodation
Indicate the limit of available positive fusional convergence in reserve
Blur Point
represents the reserve of the total convergence @ far with activation of accommodative convergence; Represents the point when the Px using all the vergence resources can no longer maintain single vision
Break Point
the limit of fusion field in a distance of 20 feet; indicates that the induced retinal disparity has been decreased to the point that the pxn can access the vergence system & regain single vision
Recovery Point
no accommodation.
At far, accommodation could not inhibit beyond zero.
NO BLUR
negative fusional reserve.
BREAK
To measure the vertical displacement under dissociation & equal vertical duction in view of relatively large # of pxs
12b. vertical duction test @ far
18b. vertical duction test @ near
Measures the integrity and deterioration of the visual pattern; measures the degree of embedding of the visual pattern; measures the recency of the visual problem and anisometropia @ near
14a. unfused crossed cylinder test @ near
