PEAVC Flashcards
–>Axial lenght indicating focal lenght of the eye
–> accommodation is inactive
Refractive status
USED TO DESCRIBE THE MEASUREMENTS OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF POSTERIOR PRINCIPAL FOCUS OF THE EYE’S REFRACTIVE MECHANISM AND THE RETINA OF THE SAME EYE WITH ACCOMMODATION RELAX OR AT REST
STATIC REFRACTION
ACCOMMODATION IS NOT AT REST
DYNAMIC REFRACTION
VARIATIONS FROM COINCIDENCE OF THE RETINA FOCUS OF THE EYE WITH RETINA
REFRACTIVE OF ANOMALIES,ERROR OF REFRACTION (EOR)
–>REFRACTIVE STATUS WITH ACCOMMODATION AT REST
–> CONVERGE TO FORM CIRCLE OF LEAST CONFUSION UPON THE RETINA
EMMETROPIA
CONVERGE TO FORM THE CIRCLE OF LEAST CONFUSION
AMETROPIA
INFRONT OF THE RETINA
MYOPIA
BEHIND OF RETINA
HYPEROPIA
PARELLEL INCIDENT RAYS COME TO FOCUS ON THE RETINA
Emmetropia
Parallel incident rays do not come to focus on the retina
AMETROPIA
INCORRECT AXIAL LENGTH OF THE EYEBALL
AXIAL AMETROPIA
A COMBINATION OF BOTH REFRACTIVE AXIAL AMTROPIAS
COMBINED AMETROPIA
TYPE OF MYOPIA
Myopia-w/out astigmatism
With astigmatism
HYPEROPIA -w/out astigmatism
With astigmatism
ASTIGMATISM
AGE RELATED CONDITION
PRESBYOPIA
With emmetropia
With ametropia
->high incidence of myopia with vanished in early infancy.
->Infant weight
Over 1,700 at birth exhibited myopia to 0 to 6.00 diopters which stabilized at 4 to 6 weeks of life and altered toward emmetropia
-> UNDER 1,250 GMS AT BIRTH SHOWED HIGHER MYOPIA OF -10.00 TO -12.00 DIOPTERS WITH REDUCES IN FEW MONTHS AND NEARED MYOPIA IN YEAR.
PREMATURE INFANTS
->THERE IS HIGH INCIDENCE IN MYOPIA
->MYOPIA IS RARE AT BIRTH
-> A HIGH INCIDENCE OF MYOPIA WITH REDUCES OF HYPEROPIA BY THE END OF FIRST YEAR.
-> MYOPIA WITH PRESENT AT BIRTH USUALLY DISAPPEARS IN THE FIRST YEAR.
NEWBORN
98% OF 4YRS OLD CHILDREN ARE MYOPIC
PRESCHOOL CHILDREN
THERE IS DECREASE IN HYPEROPIA
SCHOOL CHILDREN
-> TREND TOWARD HYPEROPIA TOWARD MYOPIA
->HYPEROPIA INCREASES FROM AGE 45 TO 70.
->OVER THE AGE OF 65-70 TREND TOWARD MYOPIA CHANGES THE CRYSTALLINE LENS INDEX AND SUBSTANCES.
ADULTS
FOCAL PLANES AND THE CIRCLE OF LEAST CONFUSION
ASTIGMATISM
->EYE GROWTH IS MOST RAPID DURING FIRST TWO YEARS OF LIFE.
-> THE POWERS OF THE EYE’S REFRACTING COMPENSATE ADJUST TO COMPENSATE GROWTH.
OCCULAR DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAMMED GENETICALLY OR INFLUENCED VISUALLY VIA FEEDBACK LOOP
EMMETROPIZATION
