16
Q

What is the common glare testing device?

A

BAT (brightness acuity tester)

17
Q

What is the low illumination level of the BAT similar to environmentally? 1. Medium? 2. High? 3

A
  1. indoor fluorescent lighting
  2. indirect sunlight/ cloudy day
  3. direct overhead sunlight
18
Q

Should the eye be dilated for BAT testing?

A

no

19
Q

What can be used instead of the BAT that is probably just as accurate and more repeatable?

A

low contrast Bailey-Lovie chart

20
Q

What is the purpose of the macular photostress recovery test? 1. What test is this similar to? 2

A
  1. measure the return of visual function of the macula following exposure to a bright stimulus
  2. ERG
21
Q

What does the macular photostress recovery test differentiate?

A

retinal disease from ON disease (conduction deficit not affected)

22
Q

What are normal values for the macular photostress recovery test? 1. Abnormal? 2

A
  1. under 60sec

2. over 90 sec

23
Q

What disease will show a decreased brightness comparison test?

A

optic nerve disease

24
Q

What is a subjective observation of retinal vascular function tool?

A

entoptoscope

25
Q

What is the procedures performed peri-opertively cataract surgery?

A
  1. seidel test
  2. suture cutting (6 weeks out)
  3. wound burping
26
Q

What are the incisions during cataract surgery (purpose of them)?

A
  1. main wound (get materials in/out the eye)

2. paracentesis (avoid IOP spike)

27
Q

What is the purpose of wound burping?

A

momentarily open the paracentesis wound and allow aqueous to escape, dramatically decreasing IOP

28
Q

How many minutes each is a full threshold VF?

A

13+ minutes

29
Q

Are -1 or -2 VF tests along the midline?

A

-1

30
Q

What is the feedback from a VF that gives the threshold (dB) values for all points tested?

A

numerical

31
Q

What is the feedback from a VF that gives the sensitivity in tones of grey?

A

greyscale

32
Q

What is the feedback from a VF that gives the deviation from age matched normals?

A

total deviation

33
Q

What is the feedback from a VF that gives the deviation from age matched normals and adjusts for general reductions due to lens opacities or miosis?

A

pattern deviation

34
Q

What is the feedback from a VF that gives the significance of the defect?

A

probability values

35
Q

What is the feedback from a VF that gives the steadiness of gaze, false positives, or false negatives?

A

reliability indices

36
Q

What are the different global indices on a VF?

A
  1. mean deviation
  2. pattern standard deviation
  3. glaucoma hemifield test
37
Q

What are the rules for manually calculating a trial lens for the VF?

A
  1. for pt’s with +1.00D or less cyl determine spherical equivalent and add +3.00
  2. for pt’s with +1.25D or more cyl keep cyl the same and add +3.00D
