Bino Vision Flashcards
3 things in order to have bino vision
- VA has to be similar in both eyes
- muscles must be able to move correctly
- images from each retina must be fused
What are the 3 things the motor system is responsible for?
- enlarging the field of view to make it a field of fixation
- bringing the image to the fovea and keeping it there
- maintaining the best single bino vision by aligning the 2 eyes.
Collection and integration of the information received at the retina, and transmitted to the cortex.
Sensory processing
What are some ways sensory processing could be affected?
- amblyopia
- uncorrected refractive error
- eccentric fixation
- disease
Basically anything that disrupts the integration of the images from the 2 eyes
Properly aligning the eyes at different distances and in different gazes.
Motor processing
T/F: if there is abnormalities in the sensory processing motor process doesnt suffer
False. It does suffer
Name 4 motor abnormalities
- disease
- deviations
- nystagmus
- vergence anomalies
Eye movements that occurs without awareness; there is stimuli from the visual, auditory or the vestibular systems and the eyes act accordingly. They are relative in nature.
Involuntary eye movements
T/F: involuntary eye movements depend on attention
True
The point at the center of the muscle or tendon that first touches the globe
Tangential point
This is the arc formed between the tangential point and the center of insertion of the muscle on the sclera.
Arc of contact
T/F: the arc of contact changes in length as a muscle contracts.
True
T/F: the arc of contact is longer when a muscle is relaxed and shorter when a muscle contracts.
True
Describes the direction of pull of the muscle and determines the axis the muscle will move around.
Muscle plane
The visual axis passes from the ___ to the _____
From the fovea to the point of fixation
T/F: The visual axis from both eyes intersect at fixation in normal binocular single vision.
True
