MT1 Flashcards
what test is most sensitive in detecting accommodative disorders?
accommodative facility
which test indirectly evaluates a patient’s PFV skills?
NRA or PRA?
NRA
your patient has poor BI (divergence) and BO (convergence) ranges, poor BAF (with difficulty on both sides of the lenses) and reduced vergence facility (difficult on both sides of lenses). the remaining findings are normal. what condition does this patient have?
fusional vergence dysfunction
what tests should you analyze when trying to determine if your patient has an accommodative problem?
monocular accommodative amplitude and monocular accommodative facility tests
what relative findings group should be analyzed to show the patient’s ability to compensate for an exophoria?
PFV group
what condition results from exophoric greater at far than at near, a high AC/A ratio and poor BO (convergence) ranges at far?
divergence excess
what condition results from esophoria that is approximately the same at distance and near and reduced base-in (divergence) ranges at both far and near
basic esophoria
what test can you use to evaluate the ocular motor system (group)?
- SCCO 4+ system for pursuits and saccades
- DEM (fine saccadic function)
- visagraph
NRA tests what accommodative and fusional vergence abilities?
relax accommodation and stimulate PFV
PRA tests what accommodative and fusional vergence abilities?
stimulate accommodation and increase NFV
if you are under-accommodating, what will you see on MEM?
lag
if you are over-accommodating, what will you see on MEM?
lead
if your patient has exophoria, what FV range will you look at to see if they are well compensated?
PFV ability
converging
if your patient has esophoria, what FV range will you look at to see if they are well compensated?
NFV ability
diverging
tests evaluating positive fusional vergence (convergence skills):
- PFV
- vergence facility (BO)
- fixation disparity curve (BO)
- NPC
- NRA
- BAF (plus)
- MEM (lead)
how much convergence a patient has to use maintain single vision with NRA and binocular accommodative facility testing depends on:
AC/A ratio
