general Flashcards
3 requirement for stereopsis
- large binocular overlap of VF
- partial decussation of afferent viisual fibres
- co-ordinated conjugate eye movement
4 types of stereotest
r-g - TNO

polarised - butterfly/ randot test
real thickness - frisby
all steorotest uses randot

what is the refractive norms for premature babies
- short al , shallow ac, highly curved cornea
- premature eyes developed less hypermetropia due to diff in ACD and cornea curvature
- high prevalence of myopia
- myopia decrease as child goes
*all compare against full term
FT babies refractive norms
- low to moderate hyperopia decreasing with age
- low to moderate astig decreasing over 1st year
ssx of uncorrected rx in young children
- poor stereopsis - difficult with depth perception, and eye hand coordination difficulties
- frequent rub eye
- blink excessively
- cannot maintain fixation on task
- frequently close/ cover 1 eye
- lack of interest in out door activities
- lack of interest in near task
- squinting
