Exam 3 - Week 7 to 9 Flashcards
What retinal cones are functional for a Protanopic individual?
No Red (L cone) and cannot detect dark red preception, thus it is considered as nothing
Blue and Green
What retinal cones are functional for a protanomalous?
Blue, Green and Green shifted
What retinal cones are functional for a Deuteranopic?
Blue, Red and shifted to red (Missing Green cones)
Note: Has the highest frequency at 5%
What retinal cones are functional for a Tritanopic?
Green and Red
Note: All blue is missing and is extremely rare.
What retinal cones are functional for a Blue cone monochromcy?
Blue
Note: Cannot see color
What retinal cones are functional for a Achromatopsia?
None
Note: Very rare. Usually congenital, photophobic, nystagmus, VA is 20/200 or worse (best corrected), usually found in family members
What are the 3 inherited color blindness?
Monochromacy - Either Rod monochromat or Blue monochromat
Dichromacy - Protanopic, Dueteranopic and Tritanopic (two functional cones - which have color perception)
Anamolous trichromacy - Protanomolous and Dueteranomolous
What island is known as the color blind?
Pengelapese, the ratio is 5% of the population is color blind
Note: An irish gave off the gene. Dogs have a similar form of color blindness
Can an individual have a monochromacy but with issues to their cones?
Yes, the short wavelength is the only one function. They will pass ERG, Visual Field and EOG will be passed. GREEN AND RED ARE ABSENT
Note: Cannot distinguish hues and is an X linked recessive gene (1 out 1000 individual will have this)
What is the percentage of blue cones in the retina?
2%, this is remarkable for monochromats.
How many hues can a monochromat see?
100
Which two dichromacy are sex linked?
Protanaopia and Deuteranopia (Usually in males)
When we test for color blindness, which test is common practice?
Ishihara test
What are the lines that go right through the CIE diagram for color?
Confusion line - shows where color confusion occur for Dichromats
What are the 3 anomalous trichromacy?
Protanomoly
Duetranomoly - most common type (on test) (green shifted towards red)
Tritanomoly
Note: Most common. Will depend on shift of damage, they are inherited
How do we test for most of color deficiencies in clinic?
Farnsworth test
What is the function an Anomaloscope?
Finds the color deficiency and even further find out what subtype is actually missing.
What is the difference between visual acuity and spatial acuity?
There is no difference. VA is the spatial resolving capacity of the visual system.
Note: It can also be the smallest spatial detail that can be resolved
What part of the snellen “E” forms a small grating pattern?
Stroke
Note: There are 2.5 cycles of black and white (30 cycles for 20/20 vision)
Whats the equivalent of 1 minute of arc?
6meters
Note: 6/6 = 20/20
When measuring acuity, OD’s characterize VA as in “20/20” vision, but how do scientists measure VA?
Smallest Visual Angle of a cycle of grating
“The smaller the Visual Angle at which you can identify a cycle of a grating, the better your vision
What formula do you use when you want to detect the smallest angle possible?
cpd = 1/2(arctan(s/2f))
How many cones are needed when distinguishing Acuity?
2 is the minimum
What is the typical VA in cycle degree?
30 cycles per degree
True or False. If you have 3 or more cones, you will be able to distinguish the difference between spatial resolution?
True
True or False, the higher the degree, the better the VA will become?
True
What are 3 issues that affect VA?
Myopia, Hyperopia and Accommodated hyperopic eye
True or False. Visual acuity is greater than Spatial acuity?
True
When Dr. Cameron was showing the “Hyper Acuity”, what is the difference vs. spatial acuity?
Hyper acuity is 5 to 10 times better
What is size constancy?
Objects of known size tend to appear constant in size despite distance changes
What is the maximum our vision can interrupt, in regards to degrees?
150/60 degrees
What is the spatial frequency for 20/20 vision equivalent to?
30 degrees
Can OKN be a good subjective measure for vision?
According to the VA suppression method
