Q

Moro “startle” reflex

  • What is the reflex
  • When does this occur
  • What is abnormal?
  • What if the reflex is absent bilaterally?
  • What is the reflex is absent unilaterally?
A
  • Lay baby on back, lift head then dropped and picked up again. Baby should have startled look/arms move sideways
  • Occurs at birth to 2 months
  • Abnormal if absent in infant or present in child/adult
  • Absent bilaterally indicates damage to brain or spinal cord.

Q

How does ortho K work for myopia control?

A

Flattens the central cornea by redistribution of epithelial cells. This steepens the mid-peripheral cornea and causes a decrease in peripheral hyperopic defocus/increase in peripheral myopia.

Results in a decrease in axial length and myopia progression.

Q

Pseudo CI

A

55
Q

How to test for a psedo CI during NPC

A

Use accommodative target (E) compared to non accommodative target (pen light)

If NPC is reduced when you use the non-accommodative target(pen light), that means that the patient can improve convergence when they accommodate. = CI

If NPC is the same= pseudo CI. Pt is not using accommodation to converge better. Should improve if you give them plus because you helped their accommodation.
