Q

Benefit to using spot ret

A

Allows for more light to enter retina. Better color, brightness, observe 2 meridians at the same time

Q

MEM

  • Distance?
  • Tell patient to do what?
  • What does Dr do?
  • Expect what?
  • Concerns:
A
  • At harmons distance/16 inches
  • Tell patient to read cards with both eyes open, wearing appropriate rx
  • Dr estimates Diopter value of motion.
  • Expect +0.25 to +0.75
  • Unequal reflexes, lag reader than +0.75 or against motion, indicating that we need to add minus.

Q

Bell retinoscopy procedure

A

Pt wears appropriate rx.
Start with target and retinoscope at 50 cm. Keep ret still and move the target closer (wolff wand) and then further away from patient.
No lenses added!

Q

How to determine lag doing bell ret?

A

Compare accommodation response to accommodation stimulus.

The response is the distance the ret is from the patient (50cm, -2.00D)

The stimulus is the distance the target is from the patient when it is neutral. This changes.

The difference between the AR and AS is the lag.

Q

Book ret procedure

A

While patient reads with appropriate rx, observe the reflex in each eye.
Look at motion, color, brightness and symmetry.
Start with easy material (2 grade levels below) then more difficult.

Q

Nott procedure

A

Can do this in phoropter
Patient wears appropriate RX
place near card at 40 cm
The examiner moves the RET closer or father until neutrality is reached.

Q

Difference between bell ret and nott

A

Bell ret: Move wolff wand target. Keep ret in same place.
Nott: Move ret. Keep target in the same place.

In both cases, there are no changes in lenses! Take difference between stimulus of ret and stimulus of target to find lag.

21
Q

Nott. Notice with movement, what does this mean?

A

Means you (and the ret) need to move further away from the target. The pt has a lag.

22
Q

Nott. Notice against movement. What does that mean?

A

Means you and the ret need to move closer to the patient (in between patient and target) The patient has a lead.

23
Q

Relationship between accommodative stimulus (moving target) and response (ret)

A

Non linear. As the stimulus increases, the response can’t keep up.

24
Q

Stress point

A

As the target moves toward a patient, they react the stress of the near target with a physiologic response= change in brightness. A quick dull, then re-brightness.

25
Q

Stress point procedure

A

Ret held at 50cm. Have the patient look at a target that you move closer to them. Look for a change in reflex BRIGHTNESS, not motion. Brightness will quickly dull then re-brighten.

26
Q

Stress point. What happens if you give the patient plus lenses?

A

The plus lenses shift the stress point closer to the patient. They can fixate on nearer targets without stress.

27
Q

Expected stress point for children and adults

A

Children: 4 inches closer than harmon distance
Adults: 6 inches from face

28
Q

What does it mean if you have a high lag

A
  • Eso
  • Over minused
  • Esos want plus so they can relax accommodation. Will have a higher NRA than PRAq
29
Q

What does it mean if you have a low lag/lead

A
  • Exo

- Over plused

30
Q

“just look” technique

A

Compare both eyes, stability of reflex, what happens when you move target?

Neutralization is not part of the technique.

31
Q

Color development- what colors can children see first?

A

Black and white
Infant: red from white
1 month: Blue/green from gray
3 months: Yellow/blue/green from gray

32
Q

If you are testing color vision for congenital defects, can you do mono or bino?

A

Ok to test OU

33
Q

HRR test

-Benefits

A

Allows you to quantify defect

  • Protan/deutan Mild, medium, strong
  • Tritan medium or strong
34
Q

HRR. What happens if the child misses any of the 6 screening plates?

A

Do entire book. and fill out page based on what child says.

35
Q

Ishihara color vision test

A

Has numbers. Plates determines red/green defect. Last plates can differentiate proton from deutan.
Tells if they are strong or mild.

36
Q

D-15 test

A

Requires child to figure out the pattern of similar colors. Harder test.
Determines protan from deutan from tritan.

Will have child order them and then you will order them in the circle. Based on the pattern, you can determine their color vision defect.

37
Q

Computer color vision benefits

A

Can motor changes over time.

Tests to look at how cones are operating by wavelength.

38
Q

Pupil testing on infants

A

Infants have mitotic, sluggish pupils.

39
Q

VF testing on infants/toddler, preschoolers and school age

A

Infants/toddler: Have them fixate on central target. Bring target from the periphery, child shoaled observe it. Make sure the peripheral target is non-auditory or you won’t know if they responded to the visual or sound cues.

Preschooler: Count fingers
School age: Count fingers, add

40
Q

When to do automated visual field on children?

A

__

41
Q

What class of drug has a risk of increasing IOP

A

Steroids

42
Q

IOP gold standard

A

Goldmann

43
Q

Anterior seg assesments

A
  • Slit lamp. Have child sit in parent’s lap or use portable.
  • Direct opthalmoscope to look at cornea, sclera, iris.
  • Shadow test for open angle
  • IOP
