Amblyopia Flashcards
Primarily a defect of central vision
Amblyopia
An image is seen by both eyes and blended into core picture by the brain
Normal vision
The brain ignores the image ignores the image sent by the weaker eye.
One weak eye
A loss of vision results
Amblyopia
The most common form of amblyopia
Strabismic Amblyopia
It develops when unequal refractive error in the two eyes causes the image on the one retina
Anisometropic Amblyopia
Results from large, approximately equal, uncorrected refractive error in both eyes of a young child.
Isometropic Amblyopia
Uncorrected bilateral Astigmatism in early childhood may results in loss of resolving ability limited to chronically blurred meridians.
Meridional Amblyopia
It is usually caused by congenital or early acquired media opacity
Stimulus Deprivation Amblyopia
A test for estimating the relative level of vision in the two eyes for children with strabismus whoa re under age of about 3
Binocular Fixation Pattern
Bar surrounding the optotype mimic the full optotype is the amblyopic child.
Crowding Bar
Amblyopic eyes should correct the full refractive error as determined with cycloplegia
