9- Abnormal And Normal Binocular Vision Flashcards
What is normal binocular vision?
Both eyes used simultaneously for both retinal images of a target contribute to the final perception
Binocular vision requires the working together of what 2 systems?
Motor and sensory
What is the sensorimotor unit of the eye?
Light hits the retina, producing chemical and physical changes at the photoreceptors, impulses are transmitted to the CNA and we become aware of visual stimulation
What can affect sensory processing?
Any condition that prevents the integrator of the images from the 2 eyes
Ex. Amblyopia, uncorrected refractive error, eccentric fixation, disease
What is the motor process involved in?
Properly aligning the eyes at different distances and in difference gazes
T/F abnormalities n the sensory processing affects the motor?
True
What is included in teh spectrum of motor abnormalities
Disease
Deviations
Nystagmus
Vergence anomalies
Voluntary eye movements
You willed the eye movement
Involuntary eye movement
Occurs without awareness
What is a saccadic movement?
When the image over quickly across the retina with no apparent movement
What is the action of a muscle due to?
Direction of its pull around the axes
Primary action of a muscle is
It’s major effect on teh position of the eye when the muscle contracts while the head is in primary position
Secondary and tertiary actions of a muscle are
Additional effect a muscle has on the position of the eye
The eye can move about ____ degrees but after ____ degrees the head turns
50, 20
Tangential point
Point at the cente of the muscle or tenon that first touches the globe
Arc of contact
Formed between the tangential point and the center of insertion of the muscle on the sclera
(Changes in length as the muscle contracts)
Muscle plane
Direction of pull of the muscle and determines the axis the muscle will move around
Visual axis passes from ____ to ___
Fovea to point of fixation
T/F the visual axis of both eyes intersect at fixation?
True
The globe rotates on this axes
Axes of Fick
The X axis has this movement
Vertical (up and down)
The y axis makes this movement
Torsional rotations like a wheel
The z axis does this movement
Horizontal (left and right)
What are 4 rectus muscles
Superior
Inferior
Medial
Lateral
What are the 2 oblique muscles
Superior
Inferior
