Binocular Vision (Done) Flashcards
How are angles S, H, and A measured, respectively?
S= Maddox rod or red lens test H= cover test w/ prism bar A= after-image test, or indirectly calculating form angles H & s
What does it mean when a test is a Dissociated test?
A test that breaks Fusion! (ex. like cover test)
What is Phi Phenomenon?
the patient’s perception of movement opposite the direction of deviation of an eye as it is uncovered
»ex. pt. with an esophoria will perceive an image moving to the left as the paddle is switched from covering the left to the right eye (motion in OPPOSITE direction of movement of paddle)
»For exophoria»motion in SAME direction of movement of paddle
When testing a patient for a vertical deviation, if the patient has a right hypertropia and the red lens is over the right eye, how will this appear to the patient?
The red line will appear below the center line»if it is below then it is hyper
In this situation, if the line would have been above, then we could say the patient has a LEFT hyper instead of a right hyper
What is Fixation disparity?
Very small misalignment of the visual axes that is not observed with standard tests for ocular alignment. (still within Panum’s fusional area)
The amount of prism required to neutralize fixation disparity is termed the ______ phoria.
Associated phoria
There are 4 types of fixation disparity curves»Which ones represent Type 2 and 3?
Type 2= eso disparity
Type 3= exo disparity
What is the formula for determining Calculated AC/A ratio?
AC/A= PD (cm) + NFD (m) (Pn-Pd)
Pt. has PD of 64 mm and 1.5PD esophoria at distance and 3PD exophoria at 40 cm. What is her AC/A ratio?
6.4cm+0.4m(-3-(+1.5))= 4.6 PD
What is the formula for calculating Gradient AC/A?
AC/A= (P1-P2)/ (Sa1-Sa2)
Phoria under 1st and 2nd condition
Accommodative stimulus under the 1st and 2nd condition
Patient with 64mm PD is 2 PD esophoric at 40 cm through their subjective refraction and 10PD esophoric at 40 cm through -1.00D over the subjective refraction. What is his/her AC/A ratio?
8:1
»Remember, calculated AC/A ratio will be GREATER than gradient AC/A ratio due to the added proximal convergence when the phoria is measured at near
Patients with High AC/A ratios usually respond better to which form of treatment?
Spherical lens treatment
Patients with Low AC/A ratios usually respond better to which form of treatment?
Prism or Vision therapy
Which lenses indirectly test PFV?
Plus lenses»remember BOP (base out for PFV too)
Which lenses indirectly test NFV?
Minus lenses»remember BIM (base in for PFV too)
Why should NFV ranges always be performed before PFV ranges?
Convergence of the eyes may interfere with the test results if you don’t!
The blur point during smooth vergences represents the limit of _______ vergence.
Fusional vergence
The break point during smooth vergences represents the limit of _______ and _________ vergences.
Fusional and Accommodative
What are Morgan’s expected findings for Distance/Near BI/BO?
Distance BI X/7/4
Distance BO 9/19/10
Near BI 13/21/13
Near BO 17/21/11
What is Sheard’s criterion? What is the calculation for determining Sheard’s criterion?
Compensatory fusional vergence reserve should be at least TWICE the demand of the phoria
S= 2/3 phoria- 1/3 compensating fusional vergence
Pt. has 8PD exophoria at near and vergence ranges of 12/25/18 BI and 6/9/4 BO. What is amount and direction of the prism that should be prescribed based on Sheard’s criterion?
S= 2/3 (8) - 1/3 (9) = 2 PD BI
What is Percival’s criterion? What formula is used to calculate it?
The smaller fusional vergence reserve should be at LEAST HALF of the greater fusional vergence reserve.
»P = 1/3 G- 2/3 L
G= greater of the 2 vergences
L= lesser of the two vergence ranges
Pt. has 10 PD EP’ with BI vergence 6/10/4 and BO vergence 21/28/22, what is the amount and direction of prism that should be prescribed based on Percival’s criterion?
P= 1/3 (21) - 2/3 (6) = 3 PD BO
What is the expected finding for Vergence facility testing values?
15 cycles/minute
For the Minus lens test, how do you determine the correct amplitude of accommodation?
It is the amount of Minus added over the patient’s prescription PLUS 2.50D to account for WD @ 40cm.
Why does the Pull-away test have an advantage over the Push-up test for calculating accommodative amplitude?
Pull-away test minimizes variability in the subjective interpretation of “first sustained blur” AND avoids the effect of relative distance magnification with push-up test.
The AofA measured with the minus lens test is __D LESS than push-up amplitudes due to MINIFICATION of the image as minus lenses are added
2.0 D less than push-up
What are the expected findings for BAF and MAF for patients aged 13-30?
8 cpm (binocular) and 11 cpm (monocular)
+ lenses cause relaxation of accommodation. in order to keep target single, the patient must use ______ to converge the eyes back to the target.
PFV
