not changing shape

56
Q

magnifying in the horizontal meridian or axis 90 is what effect?

A

geometric effect

57
Q

what does the magnifying lens in the geometric effect do?

Q

magnifying in the vertical median or axis 180 is what effect?

66
Q

how does oblique magnification inclination or declination effect work?

A

results from a disparity gradient that creates the magnification effect

67
Q

what factor changes H value?

A

prims

change curvature in space

68
Q

how do prisms change H value?

A
  • create a curve in space perception due to asymmetrical magnification

the value of H is usually

A

+0.1 or +0.2

74
Q

deviation of H value usually due to

A

can be attributed to a relative magnification in the retina

75
Q

H and effects of nasal packing

A

local signs in the nasal retina are spaced closer together (called nasal packing)
-nasal retina tends to minify temporal space

76
Q

when the angle on the nasal retina is larger than the corresponding temporal angle on the other eye, then H is __

86

91
Q

type of correspondence:
when the objective angle is larger than the subjective angle, but the angle of anomaly is still less than the objective angle

A

unharmonious anomalous correspondence

92
Q

sensory theory for AC

A
  • adaptation to the sensory issues resulting from abnormal eye alignment
  • deals with confusion and diplopia
  • problem explaining co-variation
93
Q

motor theory for AC

A
  • innervational pattern to the EOMs dictates the correspondence pattern
  • explains co-variation
94
Q

difference between registered and non-registered eye movements in the motor theory for AC

A

registered: saccadic, cancels out

non-registered: vergence (in normal system), they don’t need to be registered

95
Q

abnormal disparity detectors theory for AC

A

-AC has a variable detection system which changes in sync with disparity convergence (esotropia) or disparity divergence (exotropia)

96
Q

what evidence supports the abnormal disparity detectors theory for AC

A

clinical finding that large vergence disparity movements are observed when prism that is correcting the strabismus angle is placed over the eyes
-the larger vergence movement re-establishes the amount of AC

97
Q
