The landolt C chart

Question 26

consists of a set of seven cards, each containing a single picture, and can be used for children 2 years of age and older. The child is first shown the cards at close range, with both eyes open, and is asked to name each picture (the names in many cases will differ from the names an adult would be expected to use). One eye is then occluded, and the examiner shuffles the cards–using the cards that appear to have the most meaning for the child and presents them individually at increasingly greater distances.

Answer 26

The Allen preschool vision test

Question 27

consists of letter charts designed for use at 10- and 20-foot distances together with sets of miniature eating utensils and a number of toys.

The child is given a large card, called a key card, and is asked to fod the letter on the card that is the same as the letter on the distance chart. The eating utensil set includes a small set of utensils held by the examiner (first at 10 feet and then at 20 feet) and a large set held by the child.

Answer 29

The HOTV letter chart and the Lea symbols,

Question 30

also called the cover-uncover test

Answer 30

Unilateral cover test

Question 31

the practitioner can determine the presence or absence of a tropia also known as strabismus, or squint.

And by means of the alternating cover test, he or she can determine whether a phoria or a tropia is present but cannot differentiate between the two. If the unilateral cover test results in a negative finding, a positive finding on the alternating cover test indicates the presence of a phoria.

Because the______ can interfere with the manifestation of a tropia, it is customary to perform the unilateral cover test first.

Answer 31

alternating cover test

Question 32

The Unilateral Cover Test
While wearing his or her own spectacle correction, if any, the patient’s attention is called to a letter on the 6-m Snellen chart.

To ensure that accommodation is relaxed, the letter should be no larger than one line above the patient’s corrected acuity with the worse eye, and the patient should be instructed to keep the letter in sharp focus. The practitioner is seated opposite the patient, with his or her head positioned so that it does not block the patient’s view of the chart. Sufficient illumination must be directed toward the patient’s eyes so that the practitioner can observe any eye movement

Question 33

A tropia may be present at some times and not at others; this is an_____ tropia.
For example, a patient who has intermittent exotropia may be found on one occasion to have right exotropia but on the next occasion to have only a high exophoria.

Answer 33

intermittent

Question 34

If a tropia is found at one testing distance but not at another, the condition is called ____ .

For example, in some cases of accommodative esotropia, the patient may have no strabismus at distance but may have esotropia at near testing, while in divergence excess, there may be no strabisinus at near but exotropia may he found on distance testing.

Answer 34

Periodic tropia/strabismus.

Question 35

The Alternating Cover Test
‘The conditions for the alternating cover test are the same as for the unilateral cover test. The patient wears his or her own spectacle correction, if any, and fixales a small letter (one line above best acuity for the worse eye) on the Snellen chart at 6 m. The examiner sits facing the patient. The patient is instructed to keep the small letter in sharp focus.

The examiner places the occluder in front of the right eye, holds it there for about 1 second, and then quickly places it in front of the left eye. The test is repeated several times, the occluder being held in front of each eye for about 1 second before being quickly moved lo the other eye.

Question 36

A tropia may be either unilateral, in which one eye is always the deviating eye, or alternating, in which either eye may deviate.

Unless the unilateral cover test is repeated several times, an alternating tropia may be missed, and the practitioner may conclude that the tropia is unilateral. Exotropia of relatively recent onset is particularly likely tole alternating.

Question 37

If the patient has a ——- each
eve will be seen to turn upward or downward just as the cover is removed. Because a phoria is “shared” between the
two eyes, if the right eye is observed to turn downward as it is uncovered, the left eye should be observed to
turn upward as it is uncovered. ‘This indicates that the right
eye, while covered, deviated upward and the left eye devi-
ated downward. This condition could be called either right
hyperphoria or left hypophoria. However, by convention, vertical phorias are always labeled in terms of the hyperphoric
eve.

Answer 37

Vertical Phoria.

Question 38

In many cases, a patient will be found to have both a lateral phoria and a vertical phoria. For example, if the right eve is observed to turn downward and inward as it is uncovered, the condition would be exophoria combined with right hyperphoria.

Question 39

À practitioner can enhance his or her ability to detect a small phoria by asking the patient whether the letter on the chart appears to move as the occluder is moved from one eve to the other. If the
patient sees any movement, the practitioner asks whether the movement of the letter is in the same direction or in the direction opposite to the movement of the occluder.

Question 40

When movement is perceived rather than real (as when one traffic light blinks on white another blinks off), psychologists refer to it as_____

Answer 40

phi movement.

Question 41

is a convenient test for determining the presence of strabismus at near. It is particularly useful for a child whose results with the unilateral cover test were questionable. In this test, the patient is instructed to watch a penlight or ophthalmoscope bulb that the examiner is holding at a distance of about 40 cm; the examiner observes the corneal reflexes in the patient’s eyes while viewing just above the light source with the dominant eye.

Answer 41

The corneal reflex test

Question 42

no tropia exists, each corneal reflex will be located approximately 0.5 mm nasal to the center of the pupil. This is because the line of sight makes a small angle (about 5 degrees) with the pupillary axis. This angle, measured from the entrance pupil of the eye, is calied the _____

Answer 42

angle lambda.

Question 43

Whereas the corneal reflex is normally about 0.5 mm nasal to the center of the pupil, it may be slightly more displaced nasally in some_____ eyes, and it may be near the center of the pupil or even displaced temporally in some ____eyes.

Answer 43

hyperopic

highly myopic

Question 44

With Hirschberg’s method, in esotropia, the corneal reflex for the deviating eye will be displaced_____ compared with the fixing eye, whereas in exotropia, it will be displaced___.

Answer 44

temporally

nasally

Question 45

Hirchberg

Eso (temporal reflex)
Exo (nasal reflex)

Question 46

The angle of strabismus can be estimated on the basis that each millimeter of displacement of the corneal reflex indicates approximately ____ of strabismus.

Answer 46

22 prism

Question 47

prisms are placed in front of the deviating eye while using the alternating cover test, and the prism power is found that will place the corncal reflex in the same position for the deviating eye as for the fixing eye. This procedure presents the problem that a light source is not an adequate stimulus for accommodation.

Answer 47

Krimsky

Question 48

is convenient to test for the near point of convergence just after completing the corneal reflex test. As the penlight is slowly brought inward toward the patient’s nose, the patient is asked to report when the light “breaks into two.
The examiner watches the patient’s eyes to determine any loss of convergence not reported by the patient. If one eye turns outward (as shown by an inward movement of the corneal reflex) without the patient reporting diplopia,

Question 49

determine the_____, the near point of convergence must first be specified in terms of the line joining the centers of rotation of the two eyes. Although the center of rotation of the eve is thought to be about 27 mm behind the spectacle plane, as a matter of conven-lence this distance can be assumed to be 3 cm.

Answer 49

amplitude of convergence

Question 50

can he determined monocularly for each eye, as well as binocularly, while the patient wears his or her glasses or contact lenses, if any. For monocular determination of the near point of accommo-dation, the left eye is occluded (it is convenient to have the patient hold the occluder), and the patient is asked to keep the 20/20 row of letters on the reduced Snellen chart in. sharp focus as the card is moved closer.

Answer 50

near point of accommodation

Question 51

Amplitude of Accommodation
If the patient’s refractive error is corrected while the near point of accommodation is measured, the amplitude of accommodation can be calculated simply by taking the reciprocal of the near point of accommodation, expressed in meters. For a near point of accommodation of 8 cm (as measured from the spectacle plane), the amplitude of accommodation is 12.50 D.
When this test is performed while a patient is wearing old glasses or contact lenses, the practitioner does not know whether these lenses adequately correct the patient’s refractive error. Therefore, data on the near point of accommodation, taken through the old lenses, should remain in the recording form as near point of accommodation rather than being converted to amplitude of accommodation.

Question 52

Several tests have been devised to investigate the integrity of the extrinsic ocular muscles and their nerves, including the——— and the——

Answer 52

broad H test

diptopia field test.

Question 53

It is designed to test the action of the horizontal rectus muscles (the patient’s eyes fixate a penlight as it is moved into the right-hand and lett-hand fields) and to test the action of the vertically acting muscles, the vertical recti, and the obliques (the patient follows the penlight as it is moved

Answer 53

Broad H test

Question 54

muscle that turns the eye upward when it is already turned to the right is called a right-hand elevator, and a muscle that turns the eye downward when it is already turned to the right is called a right-hand depressor.

Question 55

The size of each pupil is measured using a millimeter ruler and estimating pupillary diameter to the nearest half millimeter.

Smith recommended that measurements be made in both a lighted and a semi darkened room, as the pupils may be of equal size in one circumstance and of unequal size in another.

Question 56

To observe and evaluate direct and consensual pupillary reflexes, the patient fixates on a distant object in a semi-darkened room and a penlight is used to illuminate each pupil, taking care to direct the penlight toward the macular area.

The direct reflex ~ the constriction of the pupil of the illuminated eye- -is easily seen, but it is often difficult to observe the constriction of the opposite eye, particularly if the patient has dark irises.

The level of room illumination should be sufficient for the examiner to observe the constriction of the pupil of the unillumi-nated eve.

Question 57

To conduct the swinging flashlight test, the patient fixates on a distant object in a semidarkened room. The examiner first illuminates the right eye, then the left, swinging the flashlight from one eye to the other. The procedure is repeated several times, each pupil being illuminated for about 1 second, to establish a rhythm.

Normally, the pupil of each eye will be seen to constrict as that eye is illuminated. However, in the presence of a Marcus Gunn pupil, the pupil of the affected eye will____ slightly when that eye is illuminated.

the pupils of both eyes will dilate when the eye with the Marcus Gunn pupil is illuminated. Because the pupil fails to constrict when illuminated, the condition is sometimes referred to as pupillary escape.

Answer 57

dilate

Question 58

Many people will be found to have a difference in pupil size between the two eyes sufficient to be detected when measured by a millimeter ruler (a difference of ½ mm or more), This condition is known as_____ and is of no consequence. Smith suggests that when the pupils are found to be of unequal size, the patient should be asked to supply old photographs to help the practitioner determine whether the difference in pupil size is longstanding (and, therefore, likely to be essential anisocoria) or of recent origin.

Answer 58

essential anisocoria

Question 59

_____is a unilaterally dilated pupil with little or no reaction to light but with sluggish reaction to near stimulation.

It is a relatively common clinical entity, occurring in females ages 20 to 30 who are otherwise healthy. It is thought to be due to a lesion of the_____ and requires no treatment. The moment of truth, according to Smith (tape no. 6), is the slow redilation of the affected pupil (compared with the faster redilation of the normal pupil) when the patient fixates a distant object after intently fixating his or her own finger.

Answer 59

Adle’s tonic pupil
ciliary ganglion

Question 60

An eye having an____ (having no light perception) will have no direct pupillary reflex but will contract consensually when the fellow 26°C (normal eye is stimulated by light)

Answer 60

amaurotic pupil

Question 61

Among the causes of a Marcus Gunn pupil is_____, which may be accompanied by optic neuritis or by retrobulbar neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve behind the globe). Smith (tape no. 6) pointed out that only a minor decrease in visual acuity may be present in an eye with a Marcus Gunn pupil.

Answer 61

multiple sclerosis

Question 62

_____consists of miosis (a constricted pupil), ptosis (dropping of the upper lid), apparent enoph-thalmos, and a possible decrease in facial sweating on the affected side. The cause is a paralysis of the ocular sympathetic fibers responsible for pupillary dilation. The lesion can be anywhere in the long, complicated sympathetic pathway (in the midbrain, pons, upper spinal cord, middle cranial fossa, and orbit).

Answer 62

Hormer’s syndrome

Question 63

Fixed , dilated pupil, usually unilateral, due to a central nervous system lesion that compresses the optic nerve. Because the patient with this condition is usually very sick, an optometrist is unlikely to encounter this condition.

Answer 63

Hutchinson’s pupil

Question 64

is present when the pupils fail to react to light but constrict on convergence.

Answer 64

Light-near dissociation

Question 65

One of the most common causes is neurosyphilis, in which case the syndrome is known as the

Answer 65

Argyll Robertson pupil.

Question 66

Argyll Robertson pupil is found in only 18% of cases of_____, abnormal pupils are found in 80% of the cases. The diagnosis of neurosyphilis requires a good history, physical examination, and laboratory tests.

Answer 66

neurosyphilis

Question 67

may occur several months after a traumatic third-nerve palsy and is characterized by a pseudo-Argyll Robertson pupil,

Answer 67

Aberrant regeneration of cranial nerve III

Question 68

Is a commonly used test for stereopsis. The test consists of a booklet containing polarized test stimuli for use at a 40-cm testing distance and requires the use of cross-polarized lenses. The test includes a stereofly, which serves as a gross test for stereop-sis, producing approximately 3000 seconds (almost 1 degree) of retinal disparity at the 40-cm testing distance.
The stereofly is a particularly good test of stereopsis for preschool children. The child is asked to reach out and touch the fly’s wings, which should appear to be located at some distance above the booklet. If the child’s fingers touch the booklet when attempting to touch the wings, not even gross stereopsis is present.

Answer 68

The Titmus Stereotest

Question 69

like the ‘litmus Stereotest, is a polarized test providing stimult for both gross and fine stereopsis testing, The test has the advantage that the examiner can make the reindeer’s nose wiggle by rotating the picture slightly.

Answer 69

The Bernell Stereo Reindeer test

Question 70

consists of a demonstration plate and two test plates. The demonstration plate contains a raised letter E that can be seen by anyone who has reasonably good acuity, and it requires no stere-opsis. Each of the test plates is printed with a polarized random dot pattern and requires the use of Polaroid glasses, A patient who has stereopsis will see a raised letter E in the random dot pattern of one of the test plates, whereas the other test plate will be seen as a blank.

Answer 70

The Random Dot E test

Question 71

A test of color vision should be a part of every basic optometric examination. In testing children, the main concern is the detection of congenital red-green color vision anom-alies, and any pseudoisochromatic plate color test is satisfac-tory.

In testing adults, the practitioner should be concerned with the possibility of an acquired color vision anomaly, so the patient should be screened for both red-green and blue-yellow anomalies, and each eye should be tested separately.

Question 72

Normal color vision is said to be____, because a person with normal color vision requires three primary colors to match any given color stimulus.

Answer 72

Trichromat

Question 73

The trichromatic subject will repeatedly use the same proportions of the three primary colors to match a given color sample. An anomalous trichromat requires three primaries, just as the normal trichromat does, but will match a given stimulus with different proportions of the three primaries.

An anomalous trichromat may be either protanomalous (red-weak) or____ (green-weak).

Answer 73

deuteranomalous

Question 74

____is an individual who requires only two primaries to match any given color stimulus. A ____ may be either a protanope (red-deficient) or a deuteranope (green-deficient).

Answer 74

dichromat

Question 75

Undoubtedly the most effective procedure for color vision testing involves the_____. With this instrument it is possible not only to detect the presence of a red. green color vision anomaly but also to make a differential diagnosis. The main problem with this instrument is its relatively high cost–not many practitioners are willing to make a major investment in an instrument designed to test for a condition that cannot be treated.

Answer 75

Nagel anomaloscope

Question 76

Pseudoisochromatic plates are by far the most popular of all color vision tests. The test is in the form of a book containing a number of color plates, each plate containing a number, a figure, or in some cases an irregular winding path. Each figure is made up of____ that vary from the background in____ as well as brightness.

Answer 76

dots

hue

Question 77

The______, also known as the dichotomous test, is a useful, quickly performed test designed to sort people into those who are color-normal and those with color vision anomalies (Figure 7-24). The test is made up of 15 color samples, and the patient’s task is to line them up so that they form a smooth color sequence between the two fixed samples at the ends of the tray.

Answer 77

Farnsworth D-15 test

Question 78

Visual field defects in glaucoma are the result of nerve fiber-bundle lesions. As shown in Figure 7-26a, the retinal ganglion cell fibers, traveling to the optic nerve head from the individual ganglion cells, are of three types: (1) the papil-lomacular bundle, made up of fibers from ganglion cells in the macular region; (2) the radial fibers, from the ganglion cells of the nasal portion of the peripheral retina; and (3) the arcuate fibers, from the ganglion cells in the temporal portion of the retina.

Question 79

may be manifested either as a bilateral central scotoma-as in tobacco amblyopia, alcohol ambly. opia, nutritional amblyopia, lead poisoning, or digitalis toxicity-or as peripheral depression or contraction- as in poisoning by quinine, arsenic, chloroquine, or salicylates (Figure 7-27a). The scotoma of tobacco or alcohol ambly. opia may be a centrocecal scotoma, involving both the fixation arca and the arca surrounding the blind spot.

Answer 79

Toxic amblyopia

Question 80

. Inflammation of the optic nerve may occur in the form of ____ (inflammation of the optic nerve head) or_____(inflammation of the optic nerve behind the eye). Either condition tends to cause a central scotoma with or without peripheral depression.

Answer 80

Papillitis

retrobulbar optic neuritis

Question 81

If the optic nerve inflammation is due to multiple sclerosis, there may be a____ (a scotoma of which the patient is aware). Papilledema, an elevation of the optic nerve head due to increased intracranial pressure, tends to cause visual field losses only in the later stages, and these field losses are usually permanent.

Answer 81

transient positive scotoma

Question 82

Tumors or other disease processes affecting the optic chiasm are more likely to affect the crossing fibers than the noncrossing fibers and, therefore, tend to cause temporal field loss for each eye (___). In some types of pituitary tumors, the field loss begins in the upper temporal fied and progresses (clockwise for the right eye and counterclockwise for the left eye) into the lower temporal field and, finally, into the lower nasal and upper nasal fields.

Answer 82

bitemporal hemianopsia

Question 83

The great majority of visual field defects begin in the central visual field (i.e., within______ of fixation) or can be found in the central field at a relatively early stage.

Answer 83

30 degrees

Question 84

can be detected quickly and easily by using a peripheral field screening pro cedure known as confrontations. Therefore, the optometrist’s preliminary examination should include both central and peripheral field screening procedures.

Answer 84
