double vision Flashcards
three main causes of double vision
pathology
BV problems
ophthalmic (add type or PDs)
what amount and direction of prism would be induced in these glasses: OD:-2.50 DS OS: -2.00 Add: +2.00, FT 28 Pt PDs: 28/28(distance) and 26/26 (near)
0.9PD BI
2mm difference per eye
OD: 0.2x 2.50=0.50PD
OS: 0.2 x 2.00=0.40PD
0.50+0.40=0.90PD BI
what type of mergence movement will be induced by BI prism? what mergence ranges must be large enough to compensate in order to prevent symptoms?
divergence
NFV
what is the image jump when the patient looks into her bifocal OD:-2.50 DS OS: -2.00 Add: +2.00, FT 28 Pt PDs: 28/28(distance) and 26/26 (near)
1PD BD OU
(.5)(2.00)=1BD
a pair of glasses measures 3BO and 2BU OD and 3 BO and 3 BU OS. what is the total prism?
6BO
1BU
to verify the ocular misalignment that would require 6BO and 1BU in glasses, how would the vertical and horizontal lines on Maddox rod appear?
right; below
what is the power and orientation needed for fresnel prism to be added to the glasses with 6 BO and 1BU
6.08PD at 9.46 degrees
use pythagorean theorem and draw out a vector. solve for C^2 to get the prism. we know the prism must be between 0-90 so pick the one that falls in that range
anytime a question asks to calculate something about a patient looking away from optical center, what is it asking you to do
use prentices rule
4 ways to use prentices rule
decentration
image jump
vertical imbalance
total prismatic effect
think in cm and draw out prism direction
combining prism between eyes
bases opposite=add
bases same=subtract
combing prisms in same eye
vector addition
- draw arrow head towards base
- use pythagorean theorem
prentices rule
PD=dP
d=distance from the optical center in cm
P=power of the lens
BI prism causes images to appear
further away
BI prism causes divergence or convergence?
divergence
what type of vergences are needed to look through BI prism
NFV
