Lecture 5 Flashcards
Does fixation disparity affect the horopter property?
yes
Which horopter criterion belongs to fixation disparity?
identical visual direction horopter
The vergence angle of the eye, the angle between the visual axis, is slightly inaccurate
The fixation point does not coincide with the actual target in space.
“Fixation disparity should not be confused with binocular disparity: fixation disparity is a misalignment of the visual axes; binocular disparity is non-correspondence of the retinal regions stimulated by a target located
off the horopter.”
fixation disparity
When a subject has exo fixation disparity, what type of binocular disparity does the intended fixation target have?
crossed binocular disparity
what type of vergence does crossed binocular disparity stimulate?
CONVERGENCE
What type of binocular disparity does an eso FD cause?
uncrossed binocular disparity
What type of vergence does uncrossed binocular disparity cause?
divergence
________ is a small purposeful error in vergence
fixation disparity
FD and heterophoria is USUALLY correlated or uncorrelated?
correlated
exophoria pt usually has what type of FD?
exo FD
esophoria pt usually has what type of FD?
eso FD
FD and heterophoria always agrees. T/F
False
FD: test under binocular condition - what type of phoria?
associated phoria
heterophoria: test under monocular condition – what type of phoria?
dissociated
ex: cover test
The amount of prism needed to eliminate fixation disparity.
associated phoria
horizontal associated phoria is usually smaller than what?
horizontal dissociated phoria
associated phoria is a more reliable indicator for what?
successful prism prescription
seen by both eyes, has an angular
width of 1.5
binocular fusion lock
seen monocularly OD sees top line, OS sees bottom line
Two Nonius lines
Clinical measurement of FD
Binocular fusion lock
Two Nonius lines
most accurate way of measuring FD
sheedy disparometer
what uses the same method of sheedy disparomter?
