Lecture 10 accommodation Flashcards
Should you use WNL when recording accommodation?
NO we never looked!
is the process whereby the dioptric power of the crystalline lens changes so that an in-focus retinal image can be maintained on the fovea
–describes (normal/abnormal) accommodation?
normal
Accommodation is (non/consensual) and usually (unequal/equal)
consensual, equal
What is part of the near triad in accommodation?
convergence, miosis, accommodation
-Tension on ciliary muscle released
-Capsule flattened
-Decrease in dioptric power
describes (negative/positive) accommodation
negative
PSNS stimulated A. Ciliary contraction B. Ciliary body moved forward C. Ligament tension released D. Lens becomes more convex Increase in dioptric power describes (negative/positive) accommodation
positive
invertebrates have (no/positive/negative) accommodation
no
amphibians have (no/positive/negative) accommodation
positive
fish (no/positive/negative) accommodation
negative
humans have (no/positive/negative) accommodation
both positive and negative
T/F birds have much better accommodation than humans
T
-Depends on the tone of the ciliary body
Strongly controlled by convergence and fusion
-Darkness removes the appreciation of blur
-Somewhat controlled by the shift of spectral sensitivity and chromatic aberration
-“Standby” position of the lens in the dark
-Night myopia or empty field myopia
is which kind of accomodation: A)Reflex accommodation B)Tonic Accommodation C)Convergence-Accommodation D)Psychic or Near Accommodation
tonic accommodation
- Stimulated by the quality of retinal images
- Blur signals or defocus signals
- PSNS pathway: CN 3 to short posterior ciliary nerves to the ciliary body, increases power of lens
is which kind of accomodation:
A)Reflex accommodation
B)Tonic Accommodation
C)Convergence-Accommodation
D)Psychic or Near Accommodation
reflex accommodation
- Also known as relative accommodation
- As the convergence angle is changed, the accommodation must increase to see a target nearer and nearer
- Ratio of Convergence Accommodative to -convergence: CA/C
- Low illumination and low CA/C ratio are strong drivers for near work induced myopia*
is which kind of accomodation:
A)Reflex accommodation
B)Tonic Accommodation
C)Convergence-Accommodation
D)Psychic or Near Accommodation
convergence accommodation
-Accommodation induced by the awareness of -nearness of target
-Microscopes
-Auto-refractor
-Eyestrain
-Charts less than 20ft
is which kind of accomodation:
A)Reflex accommodation
B)Tonic Accommodation
C)Convergence-Accommodation
D)Psychic or Near Accommodation
psychic accommodation
