Accommodative Amps Flashcards
accommodation physical response (c.b, lens zonules, etc)
contraction of cilliary body, relax lens zonules, bulging lens, increased refractive power
stimuli that cause accommodation
blur, proximity, minus lens
range of accommodation
the difference in diopters between the far point and the near point of the eye
accommodative amplitude
maximum accommodative ability
minimum expected amplitude of accommodation
mimimum expected = 15 - (1/4)(age)
average expected value of amplitude of accommodation
18.5 - (1/3)(age)
minus lens amps - accomodative amplitude findings
[habitual - final lens] + 2.50
accommodative insufficiency
low accommodative amps
accommodatve excess
normal accommodative amps
do push-up amps over- or under-estimate?
overestimate; relative distance magnification
do minus lens amps over- or under-estimate?
underestimate; minification of target
