Amblyopia Flashcards
Partly from the direct effect of image blur in the
development of visual acuity.
Anisometropic amblyopia
Mild myopia anisometropia
Less than -3D
Mild hyperopic or astigmatic anisometropic
1-2D
Defect of central vision
Amblyopia
Result to competitive interaction between neurons carrying the nonfusible inputs from two eyes
Strabismic Amblyopia
Result from large, approximately equal, uncorrected refractive error in both eyes of a young child
Isometric amblyopia
Caused by congenital or early acquired media opacity
Stimulus deprivation amblyopia
Uncorrected bilateral astigmatism in early childhood may result in loss of resolving ability limited to chronically blurred meridians
Meridional amblyopia
It allows the examiner to test the crowding phenomenon with isolated optotype
Crowding bar/ contour interaction bars
Defect of central vision
Amblyopia
Form of deprivation caused by excessive therapeutic patching
Occlusion amblyopia
Test for estimating relative label of vision in the two eyes for children with strabismus
Binocular fixation pattern
Directly measures acuity in children’s 3-6 yrs old
Modified Snellen technique
A treatment that has been 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
