Q

I am getting one measurement on sheedy disparometer. But in two steps.

A

first step is getting if they are eso or exo. ask them if it is aligned and rotate until the lines are aligned. t=eso or exo.

A

“look hard” “tighten eyes” “ think about looking close”

44

Monocular Rock VT activites

Q

the goal for monocular rock activities are

A

+2.50/-6.00

46
Q

Tools needed for distance/near targets monocular rock

A

hart chart and a distance chart and eye patch. This test is also testing accom facitlity )

47
Q

to make distance/near target challenging monocularly

A

have patient walk heel to toe as approaching the distance target

48
Q

to emphasize the accomodative facility with distance/near targets =, I can

A

have pts read 3-4 letters on distance and near target

49
Q

how should you coach a patient having difficulty clearing distance

A

relax! Look far away!

50
Q

the GOAL FOR MONOCULAR DISTANCE/NEAR TARGETS

A

they should be able to quickly change focus from near to distance with each eye equickly *1-2 seconds). Distance =10-20t and near target 3-4 inches I s the set up

51
Q

minus lens blanks and distance hart chart rock

A

monocular accomodative rock test. Ehances accom amps, monocular facilty, and tightening accom during minus lens

52
Q

minus lens blanks&distance hart chart procedure

A

pt patches one eye, reads hart chart without minus lens and then puts lens over eyeglasses as close as possible.

53
Q

what can you do to make minus lens and hart chart difficult

A

increase power of minus lens but have them to move closer to account for the minification effect

54
Q

pt struggling to clear minus lens on minus lenses blanks, what can you do ? What does this do for the patient

A

allow pt to pull lens farther away. It decreases the accomodative demand and decreases effective power of - lenses

55
Q

goal for minus lens/hart chart

A

change focus from with and without lens equally well. Set up= standing 10ft from target and and up to a a power of -6.00, but can be pushed to -8.00

56
Q

Lens sorting is a test

A

to familarize the pt with tightening and relaxing accomodating through lens and to improve accommodate facitiy

57
Q

patient set up and procedures for lens sorting

A

pt holds a near target, pt holds +1.00 lens and clears target, pt holds -1.00 lens and clears target. Ask pt the differences between the two. And other questions. Then set test up for lens sorting

58
Q

Goal of lens sorting

A

for the pt to appreciate the difference between tightening & relaxing accomodation; be able to successfully sort lens 0.50D increments from +2.00 to -6.00

59
Q

lens sorting set up

A

pt asked to look through each of the 6-8 lens on table. Sort throguh each lens to clear text. Weakest to stroungest (more minus)

60
Q

coaching for lens sorting

A

think about how the print looks (larger or smaller) or eyes feel (relax or tightening)

61
Q

flipper lens therapy purpose

A

to equalize and ehance monocular accom FACITILTY

62
Q

materials for flipper lens therapy

A

reading material with small print (accomodative demand), childs favorite book.

63
Q

flipper lens therapy procedure

A

pt reads text start with +1.00 on fliper, patient reads next line start with -1.00 on flipper

64
Q

goal of flipper lens therapy with moncular acom rock.

A

10-15 cycles per minutes ; that is equal OD and OS with +2.50/-6.00 . Eso pts and accom excess should NOT exceed -3.00.

65
Q

what can you ask during flipper accom testing

A

is one side of flipper harder than the other? Are your eyes tightening or relaxing? Does the print look smaller or bigger?

66
Q

to clear plus flipper coach pt

A

relax your eyes! Look through the target…like looking far way.

67
Q

to clear minus flipper coach pt

A

look hard! Tighten eyes! Like looking up close!

68
Q

loose prisms and lens rock are what type of tests

A

BI-OCULAR ACCOMMODATIVE ROCK ; each eye has two different images

69
Q

procedure for loose prisms and lens rock

A

left eye has base down in front of it and a minus lens. The right eye has just a plus lens. Pt insurstructed to read few letters from target on (eye looking through minus) and letters through target on bottom eye looking through plus. Patient switches fixation

70
Q

are your eyes tightening or relaxing on the top lines. Is a good questin for

A

loose lens and lens rock

71
Q

goal for loose prisms and lens rock

A

rock between +2.50 and -6.00. Ideally 10-15cpm .. Pts pushing plus like esos and accom excess SHOULD NOT EXCEED -2.50 to -3.00D

72
Q

stereoscope BI-ocular rock

A

to enhance and equalize monocular accom facitily under bi-ocular conditions (2 eyes open BUT viewing different targets)

73
Q

two small letter charts placed at number ____ on the seteroscope. What lens should be placed in steroscope?

A
  1. +1.00 in one well and -1.00 in other well , pt is clearing one line at a time alternatively. But both carts are visible.
74
Q

if patient struggling to clear plus, on steroscope

A

check targets position, they may be too far away (beyond 10 or 11) that’s beyond the far point of total plus power in the system

75
Q

if pt struggling to alternately clear lenses on steroscope

A

therapist can briefly occlude one eye to allow the other eye to see monocularly.

76
Q

goal of steroscope BI-OCULAR ROCK

2-3 ft from large hart chart. Holiding minus lens 2-3cm from left eye. Pt asked to look into lens and clear the distant hart chart. And next to look with the right eye(lthe one with no lens) and read the whole next line. Goal is to QUICKLY and ACCURATELY rock -6.00/plano bi-OCULArly.

79
