Block10 Flashcards
What does a left hypertrophia mean
Either:
- left eye elevated
Or
- right eye depressed
Do you use correction in CT
Yes
Purpose of CT
Assess the presence and magnitude of a phoria or tropia
What all is recorded in CT
Correction? Magnitude Eye P or T Constant or intermittent Distance or near
How is an intermittent tropia recorded
(T)
- in parentheses
How is CT at N recorded
’
- with an apostrophe
Do you use correction on EOMs
No
Purpose of EOM test
To asses ability to perform conjugate eye movements
What all should be recorded in EOM test
Eye
Ability of muscles (full and smooth; if restricted)
Diplopia (- if not)
Pain (- if not)
Do you preform hirschberg with correction
No
Purpose of hirschberg
To determine the position of the visual axes under binocular conditions at N
How to perform hirschberg
1) look at penlight
2) look at reflex monocularly
3) look at reflex binocularly
Hirschberg: reflex is nasal
- positive angle lamda
- exo
Hirschberg: reflex is temporal
- negative angle lamda
- eso
Hirschberg: reflex is above
Hypo
Record as opposite eye hyper
Hirschberg: reflex is below
Hyper
Which eye is the prism placed over in Krimsky
FIXATING eye until reflex is in the same position as deviating eye
BO relieves
Eso
BI relieves
Exo
In krimsky, 1mm deviation is equal to how many prism diopter
22
Pertinent entrance tests if there is a possible strab (6)
1) CT
2) EOMs
3) saccades
4) pursuits
5) hirschberg/krimsky
6) bruckner
Purpose of bruckner test
To evaluate the symmetry of binocular fixation
What patients will we typically used bruckner test on
Infants and young preverbal kids
Do kids where their correction for bruckner?
No
What instrument do we use in bruckner test
direct ophthalmoscope
Procedure for bruckner test
1) look at o-scope light (80-100cm away)
2) compare red reflexes in eyes
Bruckner test: If the red reflexes are equally bright
Binocular fixation
Bruckner test: If the red reflexes are not equal
- more prominent red eye
Fixating eye
Bruckner test: If the red reflexes are not equal
- lighter/white reflex
Nonfixating eye
Bruckner test: If the red reflexes are not equal
- dimmer eye
Media opacity
Bruckner test: If the red reflexes are not equal
- brighter eye
Retinoblastoma
Bruckner test: If the red reflexes have crescents
- at head of oscope
Hyperopia
Bruckner test: If the red reflexes have crescents
- at handle of oscope
Myopia
Bruckner test: If the red reflexes has no cresecents
Emmetropic
How to record bruckner test
- if eyes appear equally bright
- if any opacities
- presence of refractive error and if its equal in both eyes
- which eye appears whiter and brighter
What movements compensate for cyclophorias
Cyclovergence movements
Purpose of double Maddox rod
- detect torsional misalignment
- measures cyclodeviation but does not differentiate between P and T
Correction for double Maddox rod
Yes
Target for double Maddox rod
D - muscle light
N - penlight @ 40cm
Procedure for double Maddox rod test
1) trial frame with red Maddox lens over OD and clear Maddox lens over OS
- placed vertically (lllll)
- use vertical prism to induce separate horizontal lines if they only see 1
2) rotate the lenses until the 2 lines are parallel
- note degree of deviation
Double Maddox rod: the tilt of the line is ___________ the tilt of the retinal image
Opposite
Double Maddox rod: red line tilted out (left side of line is up)
Eye intorted
- IO underacting (wont extort)
Double Maddox rod: red line tilted in (left end of line pointed toward nose)
Eye extorted
- SO underacting (wont intort)
Test to identify the muscle responsible for a vertical deviation
Parks 3 step
3 steps in parks 3 step test
1) which eye is hyper (using alternate CT)
2) does it inc on right or left gaze (using CT)
3) does it increase on right or left head tilt (using CT)
Tool to figure out how to determine which muscle is underacting in parks 3 step evaluation
- Draw SR, SO, IR, IO in each eye (like an H)
- circle the underacting in each eye for each of the 3 steps
- whichever eye is circled 3 times is the underacting/paretic muscle
Determines if deviation is mechanical or paretic
Forced duction test
Procedure for forced duction test
1) numb
2) fixate toward side of limited gaze
3) grab conj with forceps and move in direction of suspected restriction
(+) forced duction test
Resistance, meaning it is a mechanical restriction
(-) forced duction test
Eye moves, meaning its a paretic muscle
How to record forced duction test
(+) or (-)
Eye and muscle
Maps out patients filed of single bino fision
Hess-Lancaster test
Hess means
Dots
Lancaster means
Lines
Procedure for Hess-Lancaster test
Pt wears red green glasses (red over OD)
1) examiner has red light; pt has green
2) tell pt to put their light on top of your light (OD fixates, testing OS)
- any difference indicates the deviation direction and magnitude
3) switch lights and do the same thing testing the other eye (OS fixates, testing OD)
3 things to look at when interpreting Hess-Lancaster
Position
Size
Shape
When interpreting position on Hess-Lancaster, what you are looking at
Where the central point is in relation to where it should be
When interpreting size of Hess-Lancaster, what does the smaller field indicate
The affected eye
When interpreting size of Hess-Lancaster, what does displacement of the field interiorly mean (folding in).
Underaction of affected muscle
When interpreting size of Hess-Lancaster, what does the larger field indicate
Unaffected eye
When interpreting size of Hess-Lancaster, what does the displacement of the field exteriorly mean
Overaction
If the size of the fields of the Hess-Lancaster test are extremely different
Recent condition
If the size of the fields of the Hess-Lancaster test are similar
Long standing condition
What does comitancy mean
Deviation is the same in all positions of gaze
How would comitancy show up on a Hess-Lancaster field plot
Each point is deviated by the same amount in each gaze
Narrowing of the field in opposite directions (he’s-Lancaster)
Mechanical restriction
When interpreting the shape of Hess-Lancaster fields, look at the sloping of the outside edge
A/V patterns
In a palsy, how will the field of the eye look
The underacting/affected muscle may have slight overacting in the ipsilateral antagonist
In a mechanical restriction, how will the field of the eye look
Narrow in opposing directions
Ex: Top and bottom both smush in
NSUCO oculomotor test assesses
Pursuits and saccades
How do you preform the NSUCO oculomotor test
Red/white beads 40 cm from pt, and 2 cm apart
- saccades: dont look until i tell you
- pursuits: dont ever take your eyes off
How do you asses the NSUCO oculomotor test
Score based on - ability - accuracy - head movement - body movement (5 no movement, 1 lots of movement)
What is the purpose of the DEM test
Check vision therapy progress
Harmon distance
Elbow to middle knuckle
Procedure of DEM test
Pt calls off a series of numbers as quickly as possible WITHOUT using finger or pointer
What is the purpose of the pretest in DEM test and how quickly must it be preformed
The make sure kid knows numbers
12 seconds
Subtest A and B in DEM test what
Vertical saccades
What is recorded in the DEM tests
Times
Subtest C in DEM tests what
Horizontal saccades
How to record DEM test errors: substitution
(/)
- if immediate correction, count it as correct
How to record DEM test errors: transposition
Arrow where number was read out of sequence
How to record DEM test errors: omissions
Circle it if it is omitted
How to record DEM test errors: additions
Cross when extra number has been added or repeated
What is the DEM ration
Horizontal/Vertical adjusted time
Diagnosis based on DEM ratio: average performance in all subtest values
Type 1
Diagnosis based on DEM ratio: high horizontal time, normal vertical time
Type 2
Type 2 diagnosis from DEM test implies
Oculomotor dysfunction
Diagnosis based on DEM ratio: high horizontal and vertical times, but normal ratio
Type 3
Type 3 diagnosis from DEM test implies
Difficulty in automaticity of number naming
Diagnosis based on DEM ratio: horizontal time, vertical time and ratio are all abnormal
Type 4
Type 4 diagnosis of DEM test implies
Deficiency of oculomotor skills and in automaticity
- combo of type 2 and 3
Formula to find adjusted time in DEM test
Time X (80/(80-o+a))
This test is often used for concussion detection
