Q

Why should let-back have an equal angle on both sides?

Q

Why should temple fold angles be the same and closely parallel? (2)

A
  1. so that the frame can easily fit into a glasses case

2. if the frame has a deep shape the side that doesn’t hang down may rub the inside surface of the lens - scratching it

Q

Characteristics of a good kids frame (5)

A
  1. larger crest - childs nose is flatter and bridge not properly developed
  2. larger frontal angle - childs nose is flatter and has less projection at the bridge
  3. larger splay - flat nose shape and lack of projection
  4. flatter panto - lack of projection from the face and relative projection of the cheeks
  5. ability to shorten temples - childs head is much smaller

Q

How do you apply the centre of rotation rule?

A
  1. adjust frame to final fitting
  2. mark up lenses with appropriate measurements
  3. have Px tilt their head back until pantoscopic tilt is neutralised and lenses are at 90 degrees to the floor
  4. get Px to look at a target at the same height as their eyes
  5. Note where the pupils were positioned relative to the markings
  6. this will drop the optical centre position to the correct fitting height = 1mm for every 2 degrees of pantoscopic tilt

A

should not drive until the condition has been assessed and satisfactorily treated

29
Q

Class 1 or 6 and/or D, T, F, R, W and MONOCULAR VISION?

A
  • NZTA will probably impose a licence condition that any vehicle the individual drives should be fitted with external rear view mirrors on both sides - we should recommend this condition
  • recommend thorough eye examination of better eye for any pathology
  • generally no restrictions once adaptation achieved
30
Q

A

driving restrictions may be necessary if difficulties with glare intolerance or vision occur e.g. daytime driving only

31
Q

Class 1 or 6 and/or D, T, F, R, W and DISABILITY GLARE

A

practitioners should take appropriate action e.g. recommending condition of daytime driving only

32
Q

A

a licence may be issued subject to only driving within daylight hours

Q

What are the requirements from NZTA for testing VA

A
  • each eye separately and together
  • smallest line read with no more than one error gives VA
  • should be tested with (i) Standard snellen wall chart or projector and screen. Chart needs to be minimum 500 lux at the surface and at eye height. Chart should be viewed from 6m (ii) or an equivalent test approved by NZTA
34
Q

generally considered unfit to drive. However NZTA may grant licences in exceptional circumstances
- an eye examination including the better eye for pathology should be undertaken

35
Q

Class 2, 3, 4, 5 and/or V, I, P, O endorsement and DIPLOPIA

Q

What are the purposes of vision screening (3)

A
  1. early detection of vision problems
  2. to aid in health promotion and education programmes

43
Q

What are the differences between vision screening and a clinical vision examination?

A
  • a professional visual examination is designed to investigate fully the vision of an individual using a large battery of tests and equipment available
  • a vision screening program is designed to give information rapidly and economically on a large population. Tests are conducted on an “as is” basis regardless of whether symptoms are present or not
  • Mx is individual and tailored to symptoms and signs for CEE whereas for vision screening Mx is either referral or non-referral
