Q

To answer the three questions, the optometrist must perform:

A
  1. Case study to determine the cause of the problem
  2. A visual skills profile to determine what the patients did to meet this problem
  3. Corrective procedures to eliminate the problem
  4. A progress report to determine the amount of visual improvement obtained by the patient and to ascertain if the problem has been eliminated

Q

Purpose of case analysis

A
  1. To find the limitations of the prescriptible lens for distance and for near
  2. To determine whether the case can be handled by lens application alone
  3. To follow the changes in relationship between accommodation and convergence brought about by the new rx or the vision training program or both (progress report examination)

___________ and __________ instead of being ideal conditions for the visual mechanism, are in reality abnormal conditions which are prevalent in those individuals classifed as retarded readers. In fact, emmetropia and orthophoria, when found in an individual, seem to indicate the presence of a visual problem.

Q

The phrase “normal eye” cannot be used in a definition of emmetropia because the normal eye is_____. The expression “accom-modation inactive” or “unaccommodated” cannot be used because in optometric testing procedures (non-cycloplegic) accommodation is always active.

A

hyperopic

22
Q

The use of the “fogging technique” does not force the patient to give up all______. effort, but merely to maintain it at a minimum level which is conducive to that individual. We must define emmetropia for our purposes on a functional basis.

A

accommodative

23
Q

______ can only refer to an individual who possesses standard acuity without the use of concave lenses and who refuses plus lenses (letters blur).

A

Emmetropia

24
Q

Emmetropia means that there is no________________ It can be found at near as well as far.

A

accommodation free of association with convergence at the fixation distance.

25
Q

Emmetropia is a________. It reduces one of the important psychophysiological abilities, that of changing accommodation without causing a change in convergence, to a zero range. If the stress situation continues, the organism must make some type of emergency adaptation in order to preserve the functioning unity. This usually means the appearance of minus projection.

A

biological mistake

26
Q

The motor muscles are not at rest in the state of_____. Stimuli are constantly proceeding to these muscles. It is not an ideal condition because the efficiency of those who are orthophoric is lower than those who are exophoric.

A

orthophoria

27
Q

Orthophoria is not a_______, as far as equating muscle strength. The muscle bulk of esophores and exophores are all the same.

A

balance point

28
Q

is an equilibrium state in which the eyes under dissociation have the same posture as the eyes have when they are not dissociated.

A

Orthophoria

29
Q

The presence of____ indicates that all of the latitude of protection in the convergence pattern has been used up due to a stress situation; and that any continuation of the stress situation will result in the presence of esophoria. The presence of orthophoria is undesirable, and remedial measures should be instituted to regain the buffer of exophoria as soon as possible.

A

orthophoria

30
Q

If the eye were a static organ similar to a camera, the obvious solution to the presence of a visual problem would be to measure the power of the optical system under cycloplegia.

A

Static or Dynamic Eye

31
Q

Ophthalmologic experience, as well as optometric experience, has shown that the great majority of patients will not tolerate such a____, but that it must be modified.

A

full correction

Q

Stages of organismic impairment

Neuromuscular

34
Q

When the person acts “as if he were a product of altered behavior, that is, he acts as it he were a myopic, astigmat, strabismic, anisometrope, etc.

The performance is characteristic, but there are no measurements of this altered performance. This is the complete functional stage. At this point, merely altering certain environmental factors will Wreadil‹ reverse this altered behavior and return it to nornial.

A

Neural

35
Q

when we have characteristic changes in our re-{fractive measurements, but the case is still in a fluid, amenable state, highly reversible, susceptible to all corrective procedures.

A

neural-muscular

Q

Considerable distortion is now present in the refractive measurements. The distortion is now embedded or structured and is no longer reversible. This distortion may be in the eye itself, in its attachments or in the central nervous system.
