Amblyopia Flashcards
Defect of central
vision.
AMBLYOPIA
The most common form of amblyopia
STRABISMIC AMBLYOPIA
result from large,
approximately equal, uncorrected refractive
error in both eyes of a young child.
ISOMETRIC AMBLYOPIA
Uncorrected bilateral astigmatism in early
childhood may result in loss of resolving
ability limited to chronically blurred
meridians.
MERIDIONAL AMBLYOPIA
This form of amblyopia is the least common
but most damaging and difficult to treat.
STIMULUS DEPRIVATION AMBLYOPIA
a form of deprivation
caused by excessive therapeutic patching.
OCCLUSION AMBLYOPIA
a test for estimating the relative level of vision
in the two eyes for children with strabismus
who are under the age of about 3.
BINOCULAR FIXATION PATTERN
allow
the examiner to test the crowding phenomenon with
isolated optotype. Bar surrounding the optotype
mimic the full optotype to the amblyopic child.
CROWDING BAR
This form of treatment has recently been
demonstrated to be as effective as patching for
mild to moderate amblyopia.
PENALIZATION
Defined as occlusion for 1-6 hours per day.
PART-TIME OCCLUSION
