17
Q

tests evaluating negative fusional vergence (divergence skills):

A
  • NFV
  • vergence facility (BI)
  • fixation disparity curve (BI)
  • PRA
  • BAF (minus)
  • MEM (lag)
18
Q

why would someone with poor PFV show a lead on MEM?

A

substitution of accommodative vergence for lack of PFV

19
Q

why would someone with poor NFV show a lag on MEM?

A

decrease in accommodative vergence which decreases NFV demand

20
Q

what tests would you use for vertical fusional vergence?

A
  • supra/infra vergence

- fixation disparity and vertical associated phoria

21
Q

CISS: what is considered significant in children

A

> or = 16

22
Q

CISS: what is considered significant in adults

A

> or = 21

23
Q

CISS: what is considered significant in progress check changes

A

change of 8 or more

24
Q

who is CISS reliable

A

children > or = 8 years and adults

25
Q

when do you read the CISS to the patient

A

between 8-12 years old

26
Q

when would you consider cycloplegia?

A
  • suspect latent hyperope
  • anisometropia
  • esophoria
  • accommodative excess
27
Q

what would uncorrected or under corrected refractive errors result in

A
  • over or under accommodating
