ophtha - optical defects, optical motility, Neuro-ophtha Flashcards
Process by which the media alters the course of light
Refraction
2 ocular media
Cornea and lens
Refractive power of cornea
43 D (38-47)
Refractive power of lens
17 D (12-22)
Total refractive power
60 D
Measurement of refraction
Diopter
Total amt of disparity between the length of eye and RO of eye if accom is suspended
Total ametropia
Amt that accom can help
Latent ametropia
Amt that the lenses can help correct When accom is active, it is the diff between latent and total ametropia
Manifest ametropia
Light rays are not focused at a pt but at 2 planes. One or both if which are not at same level as plane of retina.
Astigmatism
Ametropia is hereditary
True
Refractive error of ___ are physiologic variation
<5 D
Indiv with ametropia complain of blurred vision which is improved with
Pinhole
Most common symptom of ametropia which is bilateral situated in frontal or temporal area, and most common in people with small RE.
Headache
Due to too short or too weak RP
Hyperopia
Convergent squint
Ant chamber is shallow
Pupil is smaller
Disc is smaller
Hyperopia
Management for hyperopia
Convex
Decreased or loss of power of accom
Presbyopia
Too long eyeball or too strong RP
Myopia
Also caused by centicular sclerosis as in incipient cataract.
Myopia
Divergent squint
Ant chamber is deep
Wider pupil
Bigger optic disc
Myopia
An extreme condi of myopia with hyper pigmentation
Myopic crescent
Management for myopia
Concave lens
Regular/irreg astigmatism: most common, there are only 2 focal lines produced
Regular
