27
Q

what two factors compose Spectacle Mag

A

Shape factor and Power Factor

SM= SF x PF

28
Q

What is the Spectacle Mag equation with SF and PF included

A

see slide 19; slide 20-23 for example

29
Q

Spectacle Mag will always be greater than 1 for

A

plus lens power; true for Cls and Gls

30
Q

spectacle mag will always be less than 1 for a

A

minus lens power; true for Cls and Gls

31
Q

how do you calculate the change in SM with a change in vertex distance going from Gls to Cls

A

F(s)/F(c); examples slides 26-27

32
Q

How do you calculate the change in SM with a change in vertex distance going from CLs to Gls

A

F(c)/ F(s)

33
Q

with vertex distance is the direction negative or positive if the lens moves towards the eye

A

positive; away from the eye is negative

34
Q

what is the vertex distance ( downstream) equation

A

F= F(c)/ 1-dF(c)

35
Q

what is shape factor dependent upon

A

base curve, lens material, and lens thickness ; slide 30 for equation

36
Q

what is power factor dependent on

A

lens power and vertex distance; slide 31 for equation

37
Q

how can we get the Spectacle Mag as close to one as possible

A

if the lens were infinitely thin , the SF would be 1 (t= 0) ; if the lens were placed as close to the entrance pupil of the eye as possible, the power factor would be 1 (h=0)

38
Q

this rule says that if two lenses have the same back vertex power, are made of the same material, have the same thickness, and are the same distance from the eye, the lens with the more curved front surface ( usually the steeper BC ) will have the greater spec Mag

A

Base Curve Rule

39
Q

how can we correct aniseikonia without compromising central VAs

A

“classic Gls only option”; manipulate the SF ( change the front surface power , change the thickness); manipulate the PF ( change vertex distance)

40
Q

what does it mean when a lens is spherocylindrical

A

the SM will vary in the two principal meridians; the retinal image will be larger in the direction of the axis of the minus cyl

41
Q

for Gls, for each 1.00D of cyl diff between the two principle meridians, there is a _____ % diff in SM

A

1.5

42
Q

For Cls, for each 1.00 D of cyl diff between the two meridians , there is about a ___% diff in SM

A

0.3

43
Q

which component of SM has little impact

A

SF

44
Q

patients that have difficulty adapting to the SM dif in the two principle meridians due to large amts of cyl will find ___ easier to adapt to bc of the 5 fold decrease in SM between the principle meridians

A

CLs

45
Q

T or F: the size of the retinal image changes with the axial length of the eye

A

T ( axial anisometropia)

46
Q

this is when the size of the retinal image is determined by the distance between the centers of the blur circles formed at P and Q; size of the retinal image is the same for myopia , hyperopia, and emmetropia

A

refractive anisometropia

47
Q

this law is when a correcting lens is so placed before the eye that its second principal plane coincides with the anterior focal point of an axially ametropic eye, the size of the retinal image will be the same as though the eye were emmetropic

A

Knapp’s Law

48
Q

in Knapps Law, the desired change in the image size will occur in axial ametropia with ______ correction

A

Gls

49
Q

in Knapps Law, minimal cange in the image size will occur in refractice ametropia with __ correction

A

Cls; look at slide 42 for example

50
Q

when trying to figure out if anisometropia is axial or refractive; if the K’s are the same what does that mean

A

possible diff in axial length and minimal size changes can be experienced with Gls

51
Q

when the Ks are not the same, the anisometropia can be accounted for as ______

A

refractive ametropia ; min size changes in Cls correction

less

53

greater

54
Q

What does Sorsby say about low refractive errors

likely to be a combination of axial and refractive ametropia

55
Q

What does Sorsby say about high refractive errors

A

likely to be an axial ametropia

56
Q

image size diff greater than ____ % will result in loss of binocularity

A

5%

57
Q

which rule is based upon the observation of a relationship between the degree of anisometropia and the degree of aniseikonia

A

” The Rule”

58
Q

What is the rule of thumb for aniseikonia

A

for every 1 .00 D diff between the eyes there is a 1 % image size difference

59
Q

the higher the refractive error , the greater the _______

A

anisometropia; greater the error rate of the Rule of Thumb

60
Q

what is the software product for measuring aniseikonia ; uses red/green glasses ; but it underestimates aniseikonia ( mainly in the horizontal direction)

A

Aniseikonia Inspector 3

61
Q

these are lenses designed to correct aniseikonia ; this is a lens pair with curvatures and thicknesses chosen to produce a diff in image mag between the eyes to correct image size diff.

A

62
Q

these lenses produce mag and can have dioptric power like a regular ophthalmic lens

A

aniseikonic lenses

63
Q

If the Aniseikonic lens produces mag only its called ____

A

64
Q

this lens is dissolved to solve aniseikonia ; effectively eliminate the diff in the size of images in each eye
