Q

explain how stereopsis is created

A
  • Eyes located at different positions on the head —
  • Binocular vision results in two slightly different (disparate) images are projected to the retinas —
  • The disparities are processed in the visual cortex to yield depth perception (stereopsis) —
  • The perception of depth and 3-dimensional structure is, possible with information visible from one eye alone however not as vivid as
    stereopsis

Q

are binocular disparities always present?

A

when looking at 3D objects - yes

when looking at 2D objects- need to be simulated by presenting 2 different images to each eye

26
Q

how does the synoptophore work?

A

each eye has a different viewing tube
two images presented one to each eye
ask px if the arrows are pointing more towards the clinician or the Px
if px says the arrows are pointing more towards themselves- no stereopsis
towards clinicians - stereopsis?

30
Q

what distance is the titmus test carried out at

A

40 cm or 16”

31
Q

how many secs of arc is the fly in titmus?

A

3000

32
Q

how many secs of arcs are the animals in titmus?

A

100-500

33
Q

how many secs of arc are the circles in titmus?

A

40-500

34
Q

if you rotate the titmus by 90, will your px have depth perception?

A

no- the wings should be flat - use this as a test to see if they are lying

35
Q

does the randot test have monocular cues?

A

some due to part contour stimuli

36
Q

does the part random dot principle part of the randot test provide monocular cues?

A

no

37
Q

is randot test qualitative or quantitative?

A

quantitative

38
Q

how many secs of arc does the randot test measure ?

A

500- 20

39
Q

what viewing distance do you carry out the randot test at?

A

16” or 40 cm

40
Q

explain the mallet unit test?

A

you have 2 rows of symbols,
try to fuse the two rows using 3 base out prism
when fused the shapes will stick out

41
Q

how many secs of arc does the mallet unit test up to ?

A

10- 30

42
Q

viewing distance of mallet unit ?

A

36 cm

43
Q

why is it important to do the Mallett unit at 36 cm?

A

calibration will change with viewing distance

44
Q

how do you dissociate the 2 eyes in the TNO test

A

use red/green glasses
