21
Q

What does ambient vision lead to?

A

Binocularity
Accurate judgement of distance and movement

22
Q

Interfering with the central/focal processing causes what two things?

A

Refractive shifts

Accommodative dysfunction

23
Q

What is visual neglect?

A

Cognitive deficit that refers to the unawareness of objects, people, and visual stimuli presented in a visual space contralateral to the cerebral lesion

24
Q

Most patients with visual spatial neglect will also have what?

A

A visual field loss

25
Q

Q

In the line bisection test, if a patient is bisecting lines closer to the right edge, which visual field to they neglect?

A

Left side

27
Q

What is visual midline shift syndrome?

A

The mismatch of information and distorting of space due to disruption of ambient system

28
Q

What are some symptoms of visual midline shift?

A

Alteration of posture

Difficulty with balance

29
Q

How can we adjust a visual midline shift?

A

Yoked prisms
