Midterm 2: Definitions Flashcards
The far point of clear vision with accommodation relaxed
Punctum Remotum (PR)
Conjugate points are infinity and the retina. Therefore the PR is infinity.
Emmetropia
Conjugate points are inside infinity and the retina. Therefore and uncorrected _________ has an accommodative PR inside infinity.
Myope
Conjugate points are beyond infinity and the retina. A corrected __________ has an accommodative PR of beyond infinity (-).
Hyperope
the nearest of closest points of clear vision. This is determined performing Donder’s amplitude of accommodation measurement.
Punctum Proximum
The dioptric difference between the accommodative PR and PP.
Amplitude of Accommodation
Portion of accommodation present in absence of a stimulus; resting state of accommodation
Tonic Accommodation
Stimulation of accommodation caused simply by the nearness target.
Psychic Accommodation
Autonomic, non-volitional change in accommodation as a response to a blur
Reflex Accommodation
Range in accommodation due to chromatic abberation; change in accommodation can vary, depending on which color is focused on the retina
Aberrational Accommodation
a constant parasympathetic stimulation of accommodation, when there is no need for accommodation
Excessive Accommodation
the ciliary muscle is in a state of spasm
Spasm of Accommodation
prolonged, uniform spasm of accommodation
Tonic Spasm
alternate, intermittent spasm of accommodation
Clonic Spasm
accommodative amplitude below the limits of age level expected; usually found in young adults or premature presbyopes
Insufficient Accommodation
when a change in focus is needed by a patient, there is a delay in the accommodative system, making a change necessary for clear vision
Inertia of Accommodation
accommodation is non-functional due to drugs, infections, trauma, cogenital, etc.; the patient has near point blur and a dilated pupil
Paralysis of Accommodation
a drug, applied topically to the eye, which causes paralysis of accommodation and secondary pupil dilation
cycloplegic
the condition in which the refractive condition is the SAME for the two eyes
isometropia
the condition in which the refractive condition is NOT the same for two eyes
anisometropia
a specific type of anisometropia, where one eye is myopic and the other eye is hyperopic
antimetropia
a refractive condition other than emmetropia
ametropia
