Q

Near Point Convergence (NPC) test:

A

1) . Instruct the patient to look at the light
2) . Ask the patient if it is single or double; if double, move the target away further back
3) . Move the target towards the patient while paying attention to the eyes.
4) . Move it into the patient until the patient reports double or you see one eye loses fixation, take note of this distance (break point).
5) . Now move the target back again until the patient reports single vision or where you notice refixation. Measure this distance (recovery).

Q

What two methods are used to test the Amplitude of Accommodation?

A

Push Up Method

Pull Away Method

28
Q

Amplitude of Accommodation:

Push Up Method:

A
  • Tell the patient to occlude 1 eye
  • Tell patient to look at a letter or a row of letters (one or two lines better than BCVA at N)
  • Tell the patient to keep the letters clear.
  • Slowly move the letters closer to the patient, until the patient reports blur.
  • Measure the distance from the patient’s spectacle plane in cm.
  • Occlude the other eye and repeat
29
Q

Amplitude of Accommodation:

Pull Away Method:

A
  • Occlude one eye, tell patient to look at the row of letters
  • Tell the patient to keep the letters clear
  • Hold the letters/target very close to the patient’s open eye (about 0.5cm). This patient should report blur.
  • Slowly move letters away from the patient, until the patient reports clarity.
  • Measure the distance from the patient’s spectacle plane in cm.
30
Q

Which methods can be used to estimate the Amplitude of Accommodation?

A

Hofstetter’s formula

Donder’s Table

31
Q

What is Hofstetter’s formula?

Give examples

A

Accommodation

40
Q

_____ coordinates with the accommodative system to maintain a clear image

44
Q

If all of these systems work well _____ resulting in ____

A

When the patient has missed 2 or more (in a row?)

54
Q

Do you test stereopsis with correction (cc) or without correction (sc)?

A

With correction (cc); the patient should wear the polaroid glasses over their near correction

55
Q

When testing adults for stereopsis,

A

1). Direct the patient to page 2 with the smallest targets (3 circles in 12 boxes)

2). Start with the first box, ask the patient to identify which circle is “different of floating”
The “right, middle, left?”

3) . Ask the patient to identify the target in space
4) . Repeat for all 12 boxes or until the patient misses two boxes in a row
5) . Record the level of stereopsis

56
Q

If the patient does not appreciate stereo or is unresponsive,

A

57
Q

If the patient identifies all of the medium targets correctly,

A

try to the smaller targets again.

58
Q

If the patient is not able to correctly identify any of the small or medium sized targets,

A

show the patient the largest targets

59
Q

Stereopsis is recorded in

A

“seconds of arc”

60
Q

If the patient did not appreciate any stereopsis, record ____

A

“no stereo”

61
Q

Expected stereo at near:

A

30 seconds of arc

62
Q

____ is to assess flat fusion at distance and near. The ability to detect a small central scotoma at near

A

Worth 4 Dot

63
Q

When do you test Worth 4 Dot?

A

When stereopsis is below normal

64
Q

Worth 4 Dot test:

A

1) . Tell the patient to look at the W4D target with the red dot on top
2) . Ask the patient how many dots they can see
3) . With 5 dots, ask where the red or green dots are located. This determines the location of this visual axes.

65
Q 
W4D: 
4 dots: 
2 red dots:
3 green dots: 
5 dots:
A

4 dots: normal flat fusion
2 red dots: only the red eye, OS is suppression
3 green dots: only OS sees, OD is suppression
5 dots: diplopia

66
Q

Is it possible to perceive vertical diplopia? When does this happen?

A

Yes, if the red dots are below the green dots, there is a right hyper deviation.
