MT1 Flashcards
type of aniseikonia that is caused by a difference in retinal image size between the two eyes and is seen in patients with aniseometropia
optical aniseikonia
type of aniseikonia that is a retinal image size difference caused by a spacial lens such as an focal magnifier or size lens
induced aniseikonia
type of aniseikonia that is due to stretching or contracting of the retina
retinal aniseikonia
type of aniseikonia that is a small non-optical aniseikonia that occurs when the image should be optically equal but are perceived as different
neural or essential aniseikonia
types of things that can cause retinal aniseikonia
- retinal detachment
- retinoschisis
- macular hole
- macular edema
- epiretinal membrane
every diopter of anisometropia can cause ___ % of aniseikonia
1-2 %
aniseikonia above __ % can disrupt binocular fusion and stereopsis
7 %
type of aniseikonia test that is the best test, no longer available, uses septum to divide targets, and uses 5 vertical lines and a cross
space eikonometer
type of aniseikonia test that is a direct comparison test that is a book that can be rotated to measure different meridians and uses red-green glasses to dissociate
new aniseikonia test (NAT)
type of aniseikonia test that is a direct comparison test, computerized, and a little better than the NAT test
aniseikonia inspector (AI)
how does the NAT test compare to the space eikonometer ?
NAT underestimated the amount of aniseikonia when compared to space eikonometer in both meridians
what is the most reasonable factor and logical explanation for the inaccuracy of the NAT
sensory fusional response that rescales the image (red-green target), swimming around feeling in red-green glasses makes it hard to judge differences
how does the AI test compare to the space eikonometer ?
AI showed an underestimation that was greater in the horizontal meridian
AI agreement values between the testing sessions are:
95% confidence intervals to be +/- 2.0%
what occurs when the principle visual direction is different from the fovea
eccentric fixation (EF)
what is the principle visual direction in eccentric fixation?
an off-foveal point
what condition is common in patients with strabismic amblyopia?
eccentric fixation (EF)
when a patient uses a point other than the fovea when looking straight ahead is called:
eccentric viewing
does the principle visual direction change in eccentric viewing?
no
eccentric viewing is common in what condition?
macular degeneration
describe the law of identical visual direction
objects lying in the same visual direction in each eye will be seen as lying in a single visual direction under binocular viewing conditions
-the fovea indicate the same principle viewing direction
what is egocentric localization?
objects striking each fovea are perceived to fall on a single point midway between the two eyes
-this has been called the cyclopean eye
what can influence the position of egocentric localization?
eye dominance
“a geometric representation of the corresponding points in each eye”
