Q

Holding the condensing lens

A

The extended 3rd finger hold the pts lid and acts as a pivot that allows us to tilt lens

Do not rest your hand on more than a single finger

Q

If the condensing lens is moved too far from the patients eye

A

Light from the peripheral retina will not reach the observers eye

21
Q

How does WD affect magnification

A

Decrease in WD, increases magnification

22
Q

WD that’s too short will produce

A

Difficulties with accommodation, convergence, and possibly diplopia

23
Q

Excessive tilting of the lens will induce

A

Cylinder that will distort the fundus image

24
Q

Entire periphery may be inspected by examining __ meridians using a __ lens. How are you supposed to scan the meridians?

A

8 meridians
20D lens
Radially from posterior to the equator out to the anterior limit of the fundus

25
Q

Landmarks from center to periphery?

A

Equator -> ora serrated -> pars plans

26
Q

Absorption of UV light ___ with age

A

Increases

27
Q

How much UVR reaches retina

A

Almost no UVR
Cornea absorbs UVR
Lens UVB + UVA

28
Q

Photothermal AKA

A

Photocoagulation

Light generates temp increase of 10 degrees above body temp

29
Q

Photochemical aka

A

Photic injury

Visible light linitiates non thermal, non mechanical damage, probably by generation of free radicals

30
Q

Photo mechanical aka

A

Photodisruption

Mechanically disrupted by acoustic transient and gaseous formation

31
Q

Photochemical damage is associated with

A

Longer exposure and extreme wavelength (short wavelength)

32
Q

A more heavily pigmented iris will ___ retinal irradiance, ___ photic injury

A

Decrease

Decrease

33
Q

Greater photochemical damage occurs in ____ state

A

Dark adapted

34
Q

Higher levels of macular pigment, usually associated with higher dietary intake of the carotenoids

A

Lutein and zeaxanthin, believed to be more protective

35
Q

Factors affecting risk of photochemical damage

A
Location of retina 
Macular pigment optical density 
Iris pigmentation 
Dark adaptation state 
Phasing state 
Preexisting disease
36
Q

Photochemical damge in aphasia

A

Higher risk

Possible protective effect of blue blocker IOLs

37
Q

Physical factors of light that are cause risk

A

Shorter wavelength of visible light
Higher intensity
Continuous exposure

38
Q

A thermally enhanced photo toxic reaction at the outer retina and RPE associated with sun gazing

A

Thermally enhanced photo toxic reaction

39
Q

Symptoms of maculopathy

A
Decrease vas 
Central scotoma 
Metamorphosia 
Micropsia 
Dyschromatopsia
40
Q

In solar maculophathy acute phase, there’s usually a smal yellowish fovea lesion which usually

A

Fades after 2 weeks and is replaced by small multifaceted outer retinal hole w a pigment halo

41
Q

Slit lamp vs BIO retinal irradiance

A

Slit lamp causes 2-3 times greater retinal irradiance than BIO

42
Q

Use of a yellow lens during BIO increased safe periods by

A

Factor of 20 to about an hour

43
Q

Retinal irradiance vs lens power

A

Retinal irradiance decreases with increased lens power

44
Q

There are numerous reports of retinal light injury caused by operating microscopes during cataract and virectomy surgery

A

True

45
Q

20D lens provides an ___ FOV

A

8DD field of view

46
Q

Lesions that are more peripheral in the fundus are

A

More anterior in the eye

47
Q

What’s at the center of fundus drawings

A

For scleral depression the tip is places

A

On horizontal fold which is the tarsal plate
