Q

Eye mvmt serves 2 primary purpose

A
  1. Move eye so that fovea aligns with object of interest (saccade, smooth pursuit, vergence)
  2. Hold images in place on the retina (fixation, VOR, optokinetic system)

Q

Why does the eye constantly move during fixation?

A

involuntary eye mvmts help continuously shift an img onto neighboring PR, preventing bleaching of the retina, fatigue, subsequent fading or smearing of an img
- minimize troxler effect

Q

Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex

A
  • stabilize img on fovea during brief head mvmts by producing eye mvmts of equal magnitude to the head mvmt, but in opposite direction
  • occurs rapidly 300 degree/sec and very small latency (15 msec)
  • stimulated by enolymph within the semicircular canal
  • does not require visual stimulus - will occur even if eyes are closed
  • VOR compensates well for fast eye mvmts, reflex begins to fade with uststained head mvms over 30 sec in duration, optokinetic system takes over

  • amplitude of accommodation is the amt over the pts PLUS 2.50D (to account for WD)
  • the AoA measured with minus lens test is 2.00D less than the amplitude obtained with push-up test
  • underestimation due to minification
165
Q

  • Inadequate clearing of plus and minus
  • Inadequate clearing of plus only under binocular and monocular conditions
  • Inadequate clearing of minus only under binocular and monocular conditions
  • Inadequate clearing of binocular plus or minus, normal clearing of monocular plus or minus
A
  • Inadequate clearing of plus and minus = Poor accommodative facility
  • Inadequate clearing of plus only under binocular and monocular conditions = over-accommodation
  • Inadequate clearing of minus only under binocular and monocular conditions = deficient accommodation
  • Inadequate clearing of binocular plus or minus, normal clearing of monocular plus or minus = vergence issue
168
Q

Normal findings for accomdative facility testing

A

Ages 13-30 = 8cpm (binocular), 11cpm (monocular)

169
Q

Monocular estimation method (MEM)

A
  • determines accuracy of accommodative response
  • near card is attached to retinoscope at eye level with both eyes open
  • using vertical beam, examiner observes motion reflex at WD or harmon’s distance
  • add lens until neutralization
  • normal illumination and reading card should be age appropriate

because its measured binocularly it may reflect binocular or monocular disorder

170
Q

MEM results:

  • plus lens neutralize reflex
  • minus lens neutralize reflex
A
  • plus lens neutralize reflex = lag of accomm (acc LESS than demand)
  • minus lens neutralize reflex = lead of accomm (acc MORE than demand)

  • PRA = minus lens added until blur
175
Q

When performing NRA/PRA what do the following lenses do to the eye?

Plus lens in NRA
Minus lens in PRA

A

Plus lens in NRA = relax accommodation, decr convergence. The pt must use PFV to keep the target single

Minus lens in PRA = stimulate accommodation, incr convergence. Pt must use NFV to keep the target single

176
Q

Norms for NRA/PRA

A

+2.50D NRA/-2.50D PRA (should be balanced

  • > NRA = pt overminused
  • Abnormal binocular AND monocular results = accommodative system issue

Severe: 20/100 to 20/400

206
Q

Three types of amblyopia

A

Refractive
Form deprivation
Strabismic

207
Q

Form deprivation

A

aka occlusion amblyopia
- obstruction that blocks clear retinal image in ONE eye
- ex. congenital cataracts, ptosis, corneal opacities
- early dx during the sensitive period is CRITICAL

208
Q

Refractive amblyopia

A
  • large amt of uncorrected refractive error in one or both eyes
  • 3 types: anisometropic and isometropic amblyopia (anisometropic more likely to lead to amblyopia), Meridional amblyopia
  • more hyperopic eye will more likely have anisometropic amblyopia
209
Q

Potentially amblyogenic refractive errors

210
Q

Strabismus

A
  • binocular misalignment
  • constant unilateral strabismus will cause amblyopia NOT alternating strab
211
Q

Diplopia

A
  • objects fall on non-corresponding retinal points causing diplopia
  • suppression in the peripheral retinal will eliminate diplopia
212
Q

Confusion

A
  • each macula viewing dissimilar objects
  • suppression at the fovea eliminates confusion
213
Q

Other ways to avoid diplopia:

A

suppression
eccentric fixation
anomalous retinal correspondence

214
Q

Eccentric fixation

A
  • non-foveal point is used for fixation in the strabismic eye under monocular conditions
  • Esotropes will develop nasal eccentric fixation
  • Exotropes will develop temporal eccentric fixation
  • CT will be less than the true objective deviation
215
Q

Paradoxical eccentric fixation

A

point used for fixation is OPPOSITE to the direction of the deviation (ex. esotropia developed temporal eccentric fixation)

216
Q

Testing for eccentric fixation

A

Haidinger’s brush used to dx eccentric fixation
- Haidinger’s brush will be centered on a point other than the fixation target

217
Q

Eccentric viewing

A
  • occurs in older pts w/ macular dz
  • purposefully using a nonfoveal point to fixate
218
Q

Normal retinal correspondence (NRC)

A
  • fovea in each eye has the same visual direction
219
Q

Anomalous retinal correspondence

A
  • misalignment develops before age of 5
  • non-foveal pt in the deviated eye that is viewing an object of interest becomes “linked” to the fovea of the fellow eye
  • new anomalous correspondence ensures that the object will be perceived in the same direction by each eye eliminating diplopia/confusion
  • only occur under binocular conditions
220
Q

Angle of anomaly

A

difference between objective and subjective angle of deviation

221
Q

Harmonious ARC

A
  • angle of anomaly EQUALS the objective angle
  • deviated eye corresponds with f of fellow eye
  • subjective angle is 0
  • pt will NOT have sx of diplopia or confusion
  • deviated eye is always changing depending on where the pt is looking
222
Q

Unharmonious ARC

A
  • Angle of anomaly is less than objective angle of deviation
  • point in between f and fn (where object hits the retina)
  • the subjective angle is NOT equal to 0
  • pt WILL have diplopia and confusion (less than NRC)
  • usually occurs 2-3 weeks after strabismic sx as visual cortex transition to harmonious ARC
  • pt should w/ unharmonious ARC experience diplopia/confusion but do not b/c of snesory adaptation
223
Q

Paradoxical ARC

A

2 types:

Type 1 PARC:
- point used to fixate object is FURTHER AWAY from the fovea than fn (where object hits the retina)
- subjective angel of deviation is in the OPPOSITE direction of the objective angle of deviation (ex. pt thinks he’s an exo but CT measured eso)
- pt will have worse diplopia/confusion than NRC

Type 2 PARC:
- occurs when fn’ moves in direction OPPOSITE to deviation
- subjective angel of deviation to be greater than objective angle
- pt will think he has a larger deviation than what we measure on cover test
- both subjective and objective angles of deviation are in the same direction
- pts will have worse diplopia and confusion than if they had NRC

224
Q

Covariance

A
  • phenomenon where the type of correspondence shifts depending on which eye is fixating
  • covariance, harmonious ARC is used when normal fixating eye is fixating
  • NRC is used when strabismic eye is fixating
225
Q

Review:

Harmonious ARC
Unharmonious ARC
Paradoxical ARC

A

Harmonious ARC: angle of anomaly = objective angel of deviation, NO DIPLOPIA

Unharmonious ARC: angle of anomaly < objective angle of deviation, DIPLOPIA PRESENT BUT LESS THAN NRC

Paradoxical ARC: angle of anomaly > objective angle of deviation, GREATER DIPLOPIA than NRC

226
Q

A pt has 12pd esotropia on objective CT and orthophoria on subjective MR testing. What type of anomalous correspondence does the pt have?

A

Objective-Subjective = Angle of anomaly

Objective = 12
Angle of anomaly = 12

HARC

227
Q

A pt has 12pd esotropia on objective CT and 8 ET on subjective MR. What type of anomalous retinal correspondence does the pt have?

228
Q

Test for ocular deviation and sensory anomalies:

Ocular alignment
Eccentric fixation
Anomalous retinal correspondence
Sensory status

A

Test for ocular deviation and sensory anomalies:

Ocular alignment: Hirschberg/Krimsky, Bruckners, major amblyoscope, 4 BO test

Eccentric fixation: Haidingers brush, Maxwell’s spot

Anomalous retinal correspondence: Bagolini test, after image test

Sensory status: W4D, stereopsis

229
Q

Hirschberg

A
  • test for ocular misalignment
  • light held at 50 cm and examine corneal reflex (purkinje image)
  • Angle lambda under monocular conditions 0.5mm nasal
  • esotropic (light displaced temporally) = ADD 0.5mm
  • exotropic (light displaced nasally) = SUBTRACT 0.5mm
  • 1mm shift = 22pd
230
Q

Angles under monocular condtions

A

Angle kappa: angle btw pupillary axis and visual axis (line passing from fovea through the nodal point of the eye). Most closely approximates angle lambda

Angle alpha: angle btw visual axis and optical axis (line passing through the nodal point that is normal to the cornea)

Angle gamma: angle btw optical axis and the fixation axis (line extending from fixation point through center rotation of the eye)

angle lambda is the only one we can clinically measure

231
Q

Krimsky

A
  • measures magnitude of deviation using prism
  • corneal reflex displaced nasally (use BI prism)
  • corneal reflex displaced temporally (use BO prism)
  • corneal reflex displaced upwards (use BD)
  • corneal reflex displaced downwards (use BU)
232
Q

Bruckner test

A
  • detect strabismus, anisometropia, and/or media opacities in infants
  • want to see equal red reflexes
  • 1m, the eye with the brighter reflex is the eye with the higher uncorrected power
  • at 3-4m, the eye with the darker reflex will have the higher uncorrected power
233
Q

4 BO test

A
  • measures small central suppression scotoma 2’ to microstrabismus (<10pd Not visible on CT)

4 BO over OD
- OS makes outward mvmt and refixate = NO suppression OD or OS
- OS moves outward but does not refixate = suppression of OS
- OS no mvmt or refixation = OD suppression

234
Q

Visuoscopy

A
  • detect eccentric fixation
  • pt looks at the center of the grid target under monocular conditions, examiner views foveal light reflex in relation to the center of the grid
  • FLR centered = No eccentric fixation
  • Grid center is superior to FLR = superior EF
  • Grid center is inferior to FLR = inferior EF
  • Grid is temporal to FLR = temporal EF
  • Grid is nasal to FLR = nasal EF
235
Q

After image test

A
  • type of retinal correspondence
  • flash pt with fixating eye w/ horizontal light and deviating eye with vertical flash
  • using cortical phenomenon
  • NRC = perfect cross
  • ARC = imperfect cross
    • esotropia OD = vertical line to left
    • exotropia OD = vertical line to right
236
Q

Bagolini lens

A
  • most sensitive test for retinal correspondence

A = NRC if no tropia OR ARC if tropia w/ CT
B = OS suppression
C = OD suppression
D = XT w/ NRC or UARC
E = ET w/ NRC or UARC
F = central scotoma without squint

237
Q

4 levels of sensory fusion

A

Zero degree = NO FUSION, monocular or suppression

First degree = dissimilar objects, super imposition

Second degree = similar objects w/ suppression checks, flat fusion (Single img but NOT stereo), pt does NOT have diplopia, uses motor fusion only

Third degree = stereopsis (motor and sensory fusion)

238
Q

W4D

A
  • detects suppression and flat fusion ability (secondary fusion)
  • indicated if test is below 40 seconds of arc
  • pt wears green/red gls (OD w/ red) while viewing 4 dots (1 white, 1 red and 2 green)

NORMAL:
OD = will see vertical reds
OS = 3 greens

239
Q

W4D interpretation:

2 red dots
3 green dots
4 dots
5 dots

A

2 red dots: OS suppression
3 green dots: OD suppression
4 dots: Flat fusion without suppresion
5 dots: diplopia

240
Q

W4D in room lighting vs dark room

A

Room light = shallow and small suppression scotoma

Dark room = large and deep suppression scotoma

241
Q

Stereopsis

A

2 target types: contour and global

  • pt should be wearing habitual gls
242
Q

Contour testing

A
  • Ex. Wirt circles, Titmus fly, animals
  • monocular cues
  • better at detecting peripheral stereopsis (>60 sec or arc)
243
Q

Global testing

A
  • uses random dots
  • NO monocular cues
  • good at detecting constant strabismus
    Ex. anaglyphs and polaroid targets
  • Expected results 20 sec of arc
244
Q

Horror fusionis

A
  • pts with heterotropia are unable to obtain fusion even with prism
  • as images brought closer with prism, they eventually jump over each other rather than fusing
