Answer 6

management of ocular disease including but not limited to neuro-ophthalmic, vitreo-retinal, glaucoma and emergency

Question 7

Areas of specialty

Answer 7

primary care. pediatrics. vision rehabilitation, contact lenses/ cornea, ocular disease

Question 8

components of visual function

Answer 8

1. optics/ refractive error
2. binocular vision/ functional vision
3. ocular health

Question 9

optics/ refractive error

Answer 9

results when light entering the eye does not focus on the retina

Question 10

Entrance testing

Answer 10

Tests to give general info regarding a patients visual system.

Question 11

Entrance tests

Answer 11

Visual acuity, color vision, stereopsis, pupil testing, confrontational visual field, extra ocular muscles, cover test

Question 12

Visual acuity

Answer 12

Resolving ability of the eye sc or cc

Question 13

Color vision

Answer 13

Evaluates patients ability to accurately discriminate color. Screening for color deficiency or color blindness

Question 14

Stereopsis

Answer 14

Evaluates patients 3 dimensional vision. Screening test of binocular functional vision

Question 15

Pupil testing

Answer 15

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

Question 16

CVF

Answer 16

confrontation visual field

Question 17

confrontation visual field

Answer 17

tests peripheral vision, screening test to see if there are any defects in patients visual field

Question 18

EOM

Answer 18

extraocular muscles

Question 19

extraocular muscles

Answer 19

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

Question 20

CT

Answer 20

cover test

Question 21

cover test

Answer 21

evaluates alignment of eyes/ the ability of both eyes to simultaneously point to an object: test of binocular vision

Question 22

refraction

Answer 22

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

Question 23

refractive tests

Answer 23

lensometry, keratometry/ opthalmometry, retinoscopy (autorefractors, or manifest/ subjective refraction)

Question 24

lensometry

Answer 24

objective measure of the power in a spectacle correction: uses a lensometer to focus a pattern called mires. manual or automated.

Question 25

keratometry/ ophthalmometry

Answer 25

objective measure of the curvature of the cornea
uses a keratometer - info for refractive and ocular health info
helpful in fitting contact lenses

Question 26

retinoscopy

Answer 26

objective measure of refractive error using a hand held retinoscope and lenses. the examiner shines a light with the retinoscope into a patients eye and judges by the light reflex how accurately the eye focuses the light on the retina
determines if a patient is hyperopic, myopic, or astigmatism

Question 27

autorefractors

Answer 27

an automated instrument can also provide objective measure of refractive errors but tends to be over-minus

Question 28

manifest/ subjective refraction

Answer 28

subjective assessment of patients refractive error. involves changing lenses in a systematic way in response to a patients perception of clarity: clearer one or two

Question 29

objective tests

Answer 29

lensometry, keratometry, retinoscopy, etc

Question 30

subjective tests

Answer 30

relies on patients responses: ex visual acuity, manifest refraction

Question 31

binocular/ near tests- function

Answer 31

evaluates patients visual function at near distances with common working distance of 40 cm for reading, 50 cm for computers

Question 32

binocular test examples

Answer 32

phoria, vergence, near point of convergence, accomodation

Question 33

vergence

Answer 33

coordinated eye movements necessary to avoid diplopia by keeping both eyes pointed at the same object

Question 34

NPC

Answer 34

near point convergence

Question 35

near point convergence

Answer 35

measure of the eyes inward ability to maintain single and clear vision

Question 36

accomodation

Answer 36

coordinated focusing of the eyes necessary to keep objects clear. associated with the the crystalline lens of the eye with variable focus. have a hard time transitioning from looking at near than far

Question 37

presbyopia

Answer 37

normal decrease in the focusing ability with age that causes patients over 40 to have trouble seeing near. associated with accommodation problems

Question 38

macula

Answer 38

the most sensitive part of the retina

Question 39

peripheral retina

Answer 39

portion of the retina that can only be seen by dilating pupils

Question 40

optic nerve

Answer 40

transmits visual info to the brain

Question 41

biomicroscopy (slit lamp)

Answer 41

examination of the anterior segment of the eye using a bright illumination, variable magnification , and various widths of light to examine front surface of the eye with binocularity

Answer 42

objective technique to measure IOP

goldmann tonometry attach to and are used in conjunction with a slit lamp
