Accommodative Posture Flashcards
tests for accommodative tests
FCC and MEM
accommodative posture
accuracy of accommodative system
lead
over-accommodation
lag
under- accommodation
Normal accommodative posture
+0.50 lag
why accommodative posture is a lag?
under-accommodation requires less effort to see clear target due to DEPTH of FOCUS
MEM
monocular estimation method
MEM set up
pt’s habitual correction, bright illumination, @ harmon’s distance
MEM targe
challenging reading target, but still readable
harmon distance
distance from middle knuck to elbow
MEM expected values
pl to +0.75D
why dim illumination is used in FCC?
decreased depth of focus
depth of field
range of points (object positions) at which the object can be located and still be seen clearly
depth of focus
range of image positions that result in a clear retinal image
pupil size and depth of field/focus relationship
smaller pupil = increased depth
larger pupil = decreased depth
