Refractive condition of the eye Flashcards
is a refractive condition
where in parallel rays of light coming from
infinity with accommodation relax will form a
circle least of confusion exactly on the retina.
Emmetropia
physiological condition where
in there is sclerosis of the crystalline lens
becomes less elastic and could not anymore
accommodate at near.
Presbyopia
a refractive error where in parallel
rays of light coming from infinity with a
accommodation relaxed would form a circle
of least confusion in front of the retina
Myopia
a refractive condition where in
parallel rays of light coming from infinity
would form a circle of least confusion
theoretically behind the retina
Hyperopia
– a refractive error where in
parallel rays of light coming from infinity with
accommodation relaxed would form 2 or
more circle least of confusion or posterior
principal foci
Astigmatism
where
in one focus is on the retina and the other is
behind the retina
Simple Hyperopic Astigmatism
– where
in both foci are located behind the retina
Compound Hyperopic Astigmia
where in one
focus is on the retina and the other is in front
of the retina
Simple Myopic Astigmia
where in one focus in
front of the retina and the other is behind the
retina
Mixed Astigmia
both foci are located in front of the retina
Compound Myopic Astigmia
