Test 1 Flashcards
Primary care
The diagnosis and management of ocular disease, refractive error and the co management of ocular systems in patients 12 or older
Pediatrics
typically 6 months to 12 years old
TBI
traumatic brain injury
Visual Rehabilitation
the examination, treatment and management of patients with visual impairments which cannot be fully treatable by medical surgical or conventional eye wear or contact lenses.
Contact lenses/ cornea
management of the antior segment disease including fitting of specialty lenses
ocular disease
management of ocular disease including but not limited to neuro-ophthalmic, vitreo-retinal, glaucoma and emergency
Areas of specialty
primary care. pediatrics. vision rehabilitation, contact lenses/ cornea, ocular disease
components of visual function
- optics/ refractive error
- binocular vision/ functional vision
- ocular health
optics/ refractive error
results when light entering the eye does not focus on the retina
Entrance testing
Tests to give general info regarding a patients visual system.
Entrance tests
Visual acuity, color vision, stereopsis, pupil testing, confrontational visual field, extra ocular muscles, cover test
Visual acuity
Resolving ability of the eye sc or cc
Color vision
Evaluates patients ability to accurately discriminate color. Screening for color deficiency or color blindness
Stereopsis
Evaluates patients 3 dimensional vision. Screening test of binocular functional vision
Pupil testing
Tests the eyes ability to respond to light appropriately. Primarily a neurological test: neurological pathways control function of papillary muscles and the manner in which they respond to light
CVF
confrontation visual field
confrontation visual field
tests peripheral vision, screening test to see if there are any defects in patients visual field
EOM
extraocular muscles
extraocular muscles
tests the ability of the eye muscles to function properly and accurately move eyes into different positions of gaze
can also evaluate alignment of eyes
CT
cover test
cover test
evaluates alignment of eyes/ the ability of both eyes to simultaneously point to an object: test of binocular vision
refraction
tests that provide info on the optical error of a patients eyes. doctor analyzes all the results to determine the best prescription for a patient
refractive tests
lensometry, keratometry/ opthalmometry, retinoscopy (autorefractors, or manifest/ subjective refraction)
lensometry
objective measure of the power in a spectacle correction: uses a lensometer to focus a pattern called mires. manual or automated.
