Apparent FOV

A

in image space. deterred by rays that pass through center of exit pupil and gaze exit port (field stop)

Common for handheld or autofocus devices.

115
Q

Decreasing tube length

A

Can compensate for low amounts of myopia.

116
Q

Increase tub length

A

Can compensate for non zero object mergence (not focal) or hyperopia.

117
Q

Binocular telescopes

A

Must have similar RE in both eyes

118
Q

What magnification can be worn

A

Less than 3.

119
Q

Bioptic mounting

A

Generally in superior portion with the object lens tilted upward about 20 degrees. patient lowers head to view.

120
Q

Binocular Bioptic

A

Must have tilting very precise between the two

121
Q

Contact lens telescope

A

Patient fit with high minus CL and high plus power lens which functional as galilean telescope. Highest mag is about 1.5-1.7x.

122
Q

How to get near vision with CL telescope

A

Move spectacles down nose, including an add in specs, using a separate near spectacle prescription (3D greater than that needed for distance)

123
Q

IOL telescope

A

Put in a negative power IOL (along with any hyperopia) and plus spectacles lenses. Can only get 2x.

124
Q

Intraocular Telescope

A

Two models 2.2x (24 Fov) and 2.7x (20 for). Must be 75 or older with stable ARMD and cataract. Telescope is implanted in worse eye if VA is 20/200 or better in each eye or determined by patient surgeon if VA in both eyes are worse than 20/200.

125
Q

Object/Image size comparison for telescope magnification

A

Use a repeating pattern and subjectively look at difference in size

126
Q

Entrance/Exit pupil compairsion

A

Works with kleperian. Hold up and look at light behind the eyepiece.

127
Q

Lensometer verification of telescope

143
Q

Work working distance less than 50 cm

A

use fixed focus telescopes with a reading cap or fixed focus telescopes.

144

Increased in advances in neonatal medical care.

148
Q

Etiologies of Brain Injury of Malformation in Pediatric poulation

A

hypoxic/ischemic encephalopathy, trauma (ends or eco)-hydrocephalus to shaken baby, infections or other agents teratogenic agents affecting CNS, Genetic syndromes due to chromosomal or specific genetic errors lead to neurometabolic conditions and CNS malformation

149
Q

Result of brain inury

A

Development delay, cerebral palsy/physical handicaps, intellectual disability, seizure disorder, delay/absent language functions, behavior disorder (autism), sensory dysfunction (including vision)

150
Q

Visual consequences of early brain injury

A

Poor acuity, VF loss or neglect (both LV), oculomotor dysfunction, optic atrophy, reduced cortical level visual processing ability.

151
Q

Cortical Vision Impairment

A

Reduced visual function that cannot be account for by anterior visual pathway or RE OR anterior visual pathway pathology does not account for the depth of visual function reduction.

152
Q

Leading cause of VI in children

A

CVI

153
Q

Manifestation of CVI

A

Poor and variable attention and performance, inconsistent central fixation, more responsive to peripheral visual stimuli and moving objects, difficulty with figure found, inability to simultaneously process different sensory modes (touch and hearing dominate), severe visual-motor integration disability (looks away when touching object)

154
Q

What system doesn’t work as well with CVI

A

parvo

155
Q

Primary Visual cortex

A

subconscious processing of the visual scene to make sense to the rest of the brain. Main job is FG and analyzing edges, colors, depth, and contrast.

156
Q

Visual spatial stream

A

Dorsal stream to parietal lobe (where)

157
Q

Visual Identification

A

Ventral stream to Inferior temporal lobe. What is it.

158
Q

Visual spatial perception

A

Dorsal stream directs action. Subconscious analysis of visual scene. Integrates visual information with other sensory and motor input. Determines location of objects and directs attention to allow accurate eye, head and body movement to the object.

159
Q

What does visual spatial perception dependen on?

A

Gross and fine motor development. Basis of visual motor integration.

160
Q

Temporal lobe

A

in Ventral path. Contains our visual library for face recognition, form recognition, path recognition. Requires functional primary visual pathway, attention to details, direct fixation, accommodation, convergence, sensory and motor integration for confirmation.

161
Q

Language is

A

primary vehicle for cementing ID concepts.

162
Q

Form Perception

A

Early learning through manipulating of real 3D objects. Gets transferred to 2d representations and language. Difficult for CVI with abstract.

163
Q

Should you prescribe to CVI patient?

A

Would the average child get to six years of age and have amblyopia from this? Takes a more significant prescription if patient not using central vision.

164
Q

VF tx

A

Help the child accurately scan to make up for the field loss.

165
Q

How long for LV exam

A

1.5-2 hours

166
Q

Space for LV practice

A

Need a quiet area to demo LV aids.

167
Q

Documation with Low vision exams and coding with Evaluation and management.

A
  1. > 50% of visit must be spent in counseling 2. total time 3 describe content of counseling or coordinated care
168
Q

Billing for extended time with Low vision exam

A

Can bill if exam more than 29 minutes

169
Q

Physical Medical Code

A

Used for OTs and PTs but can be used by OD. Bill for each 15 minutes of contact. Bill for any rehabilitation that occurs (i.e. learning how to use tools)

170
Q

Rehab Vision Therapy

A

Such as teaching to use EF or VF awareness or using training to regain independence.

171
Q

Rules for use of physical medicine

A

Patient must be able to improve, goals are defined, must discontinue if no improved over 2 visits, cannot be over 8 visits in 90 days. Must see doctor at least once every 60 days.

172
Q

Mark up for LV aids

A

50%

173
Q

What is photophobia occur in those with cone dystrophies

A

Melanopsin absorbing ganglion cells.

174
Q

How does a red filter help

A

Stops transmission of blue light. Also helps rods from hyper saturation

175
Q

What did tint study find worked best

A

Red tint with 13-17% transmission

176
Q

Who did not benefit from the red tint

A

oculocutatneus albinism

177
Q

What did not have a relationship in scotoma study

A

Patient age, acuity, stoma size, density, or duration of onset. Location of PRL.

178
Q

What develops spontaneously with bilateral central scotomas affect fovea

A

One or more PRL. Normally it is right next to the scotoma. Can also have multiple PRL

179
Q

Are scotomas typically symmetrical in ARMD

A

NO. They are asymmetrical.

180
Q

How many patients were unaware of their scotoma?

A

56%

181
Q

How may were aware of their vision disapeearing

A

44%

182
Q

Why did they select real prism

A

ease with mobility

183
Q

why did they select fake prism

A

more comfortable vision.

184
Q

Acuity Reserve

A

The size that can be ready comfortably.

185
Q

what acuity predicts you will get down to 1m

A

0.85 logMar

186
Q

Higher acuity reserves are associated with

A

better aided acuity

187
Q

Do guidelines need to differ between LV cause?

A

No.

188
Q

Contrast sensitivity for 1 M reading

A

must be 1.05 or better

189
Q

Mean acuity reserve

A

2x

190

Those with low aided reading acuity have ___ acuity reserves

A

low

191

Those with great aided reading acuity have ____ acuity reserves

A

large

192
Q

reading speed and low vision aids

A

Will read as fast as they do clinically. Not affected by lv aid.
