Q

Chloroquine produces what type of defect?

A
  1. BY initially

2. Protan defect later

17
Q

Ethambutol produces what type of defect?

18
Q

Industrial chemical produces what type of defect?

19
Q

Which cone is more vulnerable to disease?

20
Q

SWAP is great to use for glaucoma because?

A
  • S-cones are damaged first
  • only make up 5% of ganglion cells
  • if few are damaged, easier to detect
21
Q

What are the 2 ways that filters work?

A
  1. move color confusion lines

2. block specific wavelengths

22
Q

An X-chroma lens improves color vision by doing what 2 things?

A
  1. lets long wavelengths through filter

2. Blocks shorter wavelengths

23
Q

What effect does an X-chroma lens have on a monochromat? dichromat?

A
  1. monochromat becomes dichromat

2. dichromat becomes tetrachromat

24
Q

The enchroma lens improves color vision by doing what 2 things?

A
  1. Separates M and L wavelengths to increase color perception
  2. blocks some wavelengths
25
What is the only lens that is FDA approved to treat dyslexia?
Chromagen Lenses
26
These type of lenses corrects RG defects by amplifying oxygenation of blood under the skin.
Oxy-Iso glasses
27
