25
Q

this holds images of a stationary object on the fovea by minimizing ocular drifts

A

visual fixation

26
Q

this holds images of seen world steady on the retina during sustained head rotations

A

optokinetic

27
Q

this resets the eyes during prolonged rotation and direct gaze towards the oncoming visual scene

28
Q

this brings images of objects of interest onto the fovea

29
Q

this moves the eyes in opposite directions so that images of a single object are placed or help simultaneously on the fovea

30
Q

retinal slip

A

difference between eye velocity and head velocity

31
Q

for normal vision retinal slip must be less than

32
Q

retinal error induces this

A

saccadic eye movement which brings fovea to the target

33
Q

T or F: cervico-ocular reflex has a low gain

A

T
note: it may help people with labrinthine dysfunction

34
Q

optokinetic system

A

supplements the translation of the VOR
combo of saccade and smooth pursuit eye movements to hold gaze on an object during self-motion

35
Q

smooth pursuit

A

a type of voluntary eye movement in which the eyes move smoothly to follow a moving object

36
Q

T or F: smooth pursuit is affected by vestibular loss

37
Q

damage to the smooth pursuit system is often caused by

A

cerebellar lesions

38
Q

what is one important function of saccades

A

visual search of environment

39
Q

where is the horizontal gaze center located

A

paramedian pontine reticular formation

40
Q

where is the vertical gaze center located

A

midbrain
rostral interstitial nucleus

41
Q

activation of the gaze centers results in

A

oblique saccadic movement

42
Q

the ___ and _____ provide complementary pathways for the control of saccades

A

frontal eye lids
superior colliculus

43
Q

3 physiological nystagmus causes

A

1 - vestibular induced
2 - visually induced
3 - extreme end point induced

44
Q

2 pathological nystagmus

A

spontaneous and positional

45
Q

what is the purpose of vergence

A

view near objects

46
Q

what are the 2 primary stimuli for vergence

A

1 - disparity
2 - retinal blur

47
Q

T or F: vergence movement is mainly performed unconsciously

48
Q

What CN are you testing when doing far to near vision

49
Q

unilateral oculomotor nerve palsy: lesion on GSE components

A

ptosis
affected eye will abduct and depress

50
Q

unilateral oculomotor nerve palsy: lesion on GVE components

A

loss of pupillary light reflex
resting pupil is large

51
Q

mydriasis

A

dilated pupils

52
Q

what may cause CN3 palsy

A

congenital
ischemia
aneurysm
tumor

53
Q

this accounts for most causes of acquired vertical stabismus

54
Q

CN4 palsy

A

vertical and torsional diplopia that is worse when looking down
the effected eye will elevate and extort

55
Q

this is the most common ocular motor palsy

56
Q

CN6 palsy

A

medially directed eye that cannot abduct
horizontal diplopia

57
Q

strabismus

A

misalignment of visual axes
diplopia

58
Q

any interruption in the sympathetic system to the eye will result in this

A

Horner’s syndrome

59
Q

T or F: symptoms of horner’s syndrome occur on the contralateral side of lesion

A

F: ipsilateral

60
Q

symptoms of horner’s syndrome

A

ptosis, miosis, anhidrosis, enophthalamus

61
Q

anhidrosis

A

abnormal condition of no sweat

62
Q

enophthalamus

A

sunken eyes
