Against the Rule Astigmatism

23
Q

What is a tangent screen used for?

A

A very basic visual field testing process

24
Q

If a person has difficulty in seeing light shades of gray on a white background, they may have a problem with what?

A

Contrast sensitivity

25
Q

The brain is relatively insensitive to what neurologists call what?

A

Low spatial frequencies

26
Q

What is a fundus camera used for?

A

To photograph the interior surface of the eye, including retina, optic disc, macula, and posterior pole

27
Q

What is a tonometry used for?

A

To measure the intraocular pressure of the eye

28
Q

What is the best way to describe 20/20 vision?

A

It is identified as a quantitative measure of the ability of the eye to identify the smallest elements of a letter or object to correctly identify the letter or object

29
Q

If a patient correctly identifies all but two letters on the 2/25 line how would it be recorded?

A

20/25-2

30
Q

When performing a refraction, if the refractionist can get the patient to 20/50 but is having difficulty improving vision, what is the next step?

A

Use a pinhole occluder test

31
Q

If all light rays come to a point focus on the retina, what is the condition?

A

Emmetropia

32
Q

What is a general term for any error of refraction in the eye?

A

Ametropia

33
Q

If a patient is unable to read any letters on the Snellen chart at the standard distance, they may have reduced visual acuity. What may be done to test them?

A

Reduce the testing distance

34
Q

For a patient with reduced visual acuity, if they see a light as it moves up and down, the testing in recorded how?

A

LP

35
Q

When testing a patient and he/she demonstrates no vision, the testing is recorded how?

A

NLP

36
Q

What is the push up method/test?

A

It is used to determine the near point of accommodation by moving a test object closer to the eye until it blurs

37
Q

The correction for a condition whereby light rays come to a single point focus in front of the retina would be illustrated by which Rx?

A

-3.00

38
Q

When using the duochrome test, if the patient indicates the green side is clearer, what is the condition?

A

The patient is over plussed

39
Q

A patient’s visual acuity is recorded as 20/200 SC. This would indicate:

A

Their acuity without correction

40
Q

___ means that eyes that are “carried correctly” and proper extraocular muscle tonicity is maintained.

A

Orthophoria
