EOM Testing Flashcards
What is EOM testing used to evaluate?
actions of extraocular muscles for overactions or restrictions
How does one perform EOM testing (basic explanation)?
have patient follow a target in a pattern
What is different about infant/toddler EOM testing?
you may have to turn their head
What are the EOMs?
LR, SR, IO, IR, SO, MR
(Aslin) When is the youngest that children have convergence and when on average will children have convergence?
youngest= 1 month, average=1-3
When are infants capable of convergence without delay?
3 months
What is the purpose of NPC?
assess convergence amplitude (free space)
What is a normal NPC for children?
5 cm/7cm
What is the purpose of phoria testing?
subjective measurement of binocularity, cannot differentiate a phoria from intermittent tropia
What is the procedure for phoria testing?
risley prisms, 1 base up/out and other base in, perform headlights on a car and buttons on a shirt
What is the purpose of vergence testing?
to test fusional vergence amplitude with prisms, vergence-accommodation system, quality of binocular function
What is the procedure for vergence ranges?
distance and near test, record blur/break/recover
What are the two tests that can be used for vergence ranges?
prism bar/step vergences and smooth/risley prism vergences
What is the prism bar/step vergences method?
“tell me when the target gets double and then single again” // can observe objective eye movements
What is the smooth/risley prism vergences method?
can’t observe eye movements, “tell me when the target gets blurry, double, and then single”
What are normal step vergence ranges?
near BI X/12/7 and near BO X/23/16
What are normal smooth vergence (morgan’s norms) tanges?
distance BI X/7/4 distance BO 9/19/10 near BI 13/21/13 near BO 17/21/11
What are Worth’s three degrees of fusion?
1st- simultaneous perception, 2nd- flat fusion, 3rd- stereopsis
Under what age is stereopsis generally not demonstrable?
8 weeks
When does stereopsis emerge?
3-4 months
At what age can almost 100% of infants appreciate stereopsis?
6 months
What is the Bernell Functional Binocular Assessment test?
(prior keystone basic binocular), tests for stereopsis with R/G glasses at 20-30 cm, observe if child reaches for page
What is the preferred stereo test in infants?
PASS test (preschool assessment stereopsis w/ smile), use polarized glasses at 40 cm, preferential looking test, disparity levels 480”, 240”, 120”, 60”, does child look and smile?
What are stereopsis tests in toddlers/preschoolers?
lang stereo test I and II, Random dot E
What shape can everyone see on the lang stereo test?
star
