B13 Flashcards
What are 3 things you must have to have normal bino vision?
- VA has to the similar in both eyes and produce comparable cortical images in corresponding retinal areas
- muscles must work correctly
- images from each retina must be fused into a single image
What are 9 advantages of bino vision?
- visual efficiency and performance
- vision-motor tasks
- sports and gaming
- reading proficiency
- a spare eye
- larger bino field/blind spot coverage
- better appreciation of dynamic relation between body and environment
- single vision
- depth perception
What are 7 problems with abnormal bino vision?
- asthenopia
- diplopia
- rivalry
- amblyopia
- eccentric fixation
- suppression
- anomalous correspondence
If someone has no stereo what does this mean?
They have no bino vision
The collection and integration of information received at the retina and transmitted to the cortex
Sensory fusion
T/F: if is sensory fusion is affected by any condition, integration of the images from the 2 eyes will be abnormal
True
What is the fundamental part of vision?
Sensory
Name 7 causes of motor dysfunction
- disease
- incomitancies
- latent manifestations (phorias)
- manifest deviations
- vergence quality (facility)
- vergence quantity (amplitude)
- nystagmus
When should motor problems be treated?
They should be treated last after identified sensory and integrative problems have been treated
Name 5 causes of integrative problems
- disease
- aniseikonia (different size retinal images)
- suppression
- anomalous retinal correspondence
- horror fusions (inability to fuse)
Name the 5 causes of sensory dysfunction
- disease
- refractive error
- amblyopia
- eccentric fixation
- accommodative insufficiency and infacility
What is considered normal single bino vision?
Bifoveal with no deviation
What is considered abnormal bino vision regarding the fovea?
When the fovea of one eye projects with a non fovea point of the other eye
Is misalignment usually present with abnormal bino vision?
Yes
Localized the visual percept in a visual direction that is relative to the direction of the fovea
Retinal area/element
If the eyes are properly aligned, an image is received on ___ areas of the retinas
Matching
If the eyes are functioning normally, will the images will be the same size and color?
Yes
What 4 things does the stimulus perceive when the retinal areas is stimulated?
- brightness
- color
- form
- direction
T/F: matching retinal elements have different visual directions
False. They have the same visual direction
Considered the retinomotor zero point
Fovea
T/F: all points in space falling along the visual line have the same visual direction
True
This is used to build interpretation of 3D images in space
Visual direction
What 2 things are normal when there is precise and clear bifoveal fixation?
Bino vision and fusion
If there is abnormal bino vision is the visual direction the same or different?
Different
What is the principal visual direction and the center?
Fovea
In strabismus, this is when a non-fovea point assumes the characteristics of the principal visual direction
Eccentric fixation
Is visual direction subjective or objective?
Subjective
Is the line of direction subjective or objective?
Objective
The line that connects an object with its image on the retina
Line of direction/visual axis
When the visual axes of the fovea intersect at a fixation point
Binocular fixation
When objects simultaneously stimulate the fovea of both eyes, the object is in the ___ subjective visual direction
Same
When only one line of direction goes to fixation
Monocular fixation
The ability for visual neurons to process direction and to identify fixed direction in space
Local sign
A pair of points in each eye when stimulated appear to lie in the same visual direction
Corresponding retinal points
T/F: any disruption at the fovea will lead to a disruption in visual direction
True
A point 1 degree nasal to the fovea in one eye corresponds to a point ___ to the fovea in the other
1 degree temporal
