Extraocular Muscle Function. Testing for strabismus (squint, crossed eye) is an important screening measure during early childhood. Strabismus causes disconjugate vision because one eye deviates off the fixation point. To avoid diplopia or unclear images, the brain begins to suppress data from the weak eye (a suppression scotoma). Then visual acuity in this otherwise normal eye begins to deteriorate from disuse. Early recognition and treatment are essential to restore binocular vision. Diagnosis after 6 years of age has a poor prognosis. Test malalignment by the corneal light reflex and the cover test.

________________ glaucoma, the drainage canals of the eye gradually become clogged. The entrance to these drainage canals is clear (open) and working correctly, but the clogging occurs further inside the canals. There is a slow buildup of intraocular pressure (lOP) as fluids continue to be produced at normal rates. The process is gradual, painless, and causes no early symptoms. Vision loss begins with the peripheral vision, and this often goes unnoticed because the individual learns to compensate intuitively by turning the head. As the condition progresses, the field of peripheral vision decreases until eventually the individual cannot see anything on either side (tunnel vision A)In open-angle B)In closed angle
A
435
____________ glaucoma, the drainage canals are blocked or covered over by the outer edge of the iris when the pupil enlarges too much or too quickly.

B
502
___________ Increased intracranial pressure causes venous stasis in the globe, showing redness, congestion, and elevation of the disc; blurred margins; hemorrhages; and absent venous pulsations. This is a serious sign of intracranial pressure, usually caused by a space-occupying mass (e.g., a brain tumor or hematoma). Visual acuity is not affected. A)Papilledema (Choked Disc) B)Excessive Cup-Disc Ratio
A
503
____________ With primary open-angle glaucoma, the increased intraocular pressure decreases blood supply to retinal structures. The physiologic cup enlarges to more than half of the ruse diameter, vessels appear to plunge over edge of cup, and the vessels are displaced nasally. This is asymptomatic, although the person may have decreased vision or visual field defects in the late stages of glaucoma. A)Excessive Cup-Disc Ratio B)Arteriovenous Crossing (Nicking)
A
504
Abnormalities in Retinal Vessels and Background

To test the pupillar y light reflex, darken the room and ask the person to gaze into the distance. (This dilates the pupils.) Advance a light in from theside,~and note the response.Normally, you will sec (I) constriction of the same-sided pupil (a direct light reflex) and (2) simultaneous constric- tion of the other pupil (a couse/ISual light reflex). A)true B)false

Test for accommodation by ask- ing the person to focus on a distant object. This process dilates the pupils. Then have the person shift the gaze to a ncar object, such as your finger held about 7 to 8 em (3 inches) from the nose. A normal response includes ( I) pupillary constriction and(2)conver- gence of the axes of the eyes. A)true B)false

_________A triangular opaque wing of bulbar conjunctiva overgrows toward the center of the cornea. It looks membranous, translucent, and yellow to white, usually invades from nasal side, and may obstruct vision as it covers pupil. Occurs usually from chronic exposure to hot, dry, sandy climate, which stimulates the growth of a pinguecula (see p. 307) into a pterygium. A)Pterygium B)Pingueculae
A
728
________commonly show on the sclera. These yellowish, elevated nodules are due to a thickening of the bulbar conjunctiva from prolonged exposure to sun, wind, and dust. Pingueculae appear at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions-first on the nasal side and then on the temporal side. A)Pingueculae B)strabismus
