Q

Advantages of tangent screen

A

More sensitive than confrontation test or FCVF

Provides accurate charting of central and paracentral VF defects

Useful in testing patient with hysterical fields

Q

Equipment use in tangent screen

A

• Tangent screen

• Thirty to fifty 1 to 2 mm diameter nonglossy, short black pins

• Test target (1, 2, 3 or 5 mm diameter white test object attached to a black non glossy wand)

• Eye patch

• Tangent screen should be a flat, non reflective, black screen usually made of cloth, with a small white object attached to the center of the screen to serve as a fixation target. On most tangent screens, the fixation target is surrounded by concentric circles, stitched into the surface of the screen at intervals of 5 degrees when viewed from 1 meter

Q

Presentation of stimulus/target of known size and intensity outside the borders of VF or within blindspot

Kinetic peri

31
Q

It is the science of measuring visual field

A

Perimetry

32
Q

Target is being moved. From the point of invisibility to point of visibility

A

Kinetic peri

33
Q

is useful to determine borders of larger or deeper visual field defects

A

Kinetic

34
Q

s better at detecting small scotomas (e.g. early glaucomatous VF change)

A

Static peri

35
Q

In TS, the center refers to the peak of the island/hill or also called the

A

Point of fixation

36
Q

T/F
In TS, when you move the wand away from the center, what happens in the island/hill is that it also goes down. So when it goes down away from the peak, px’s sensitivity to the target also decreases.

A

T

37
Q

T/F
In TS, when you place the wand outside the borders/extent, px cannot detect it because it is already beyond his visual field
