Visual Flashcards
Refractive media of the eye
4 components which light muss pass through
Cornea-sclera
continuous at SCJ, avascular, long healing
AH
Clear, in A/P chambers
Produced by CB, drained at iridiocorneal angle through canal of Schlemm
Blockage inc pressure (Glaucoma)
Lens
curves for vision
Cataract (loss of transparency)
VB
Posterior portion of eyeball
Cortex
Map for light orientation
useful to detect color
Allows sense of object
Fovea divides retina
Nasal/Temporal hemiretina
RGC of nasal retina
Cross @ OC to innervate LGN
RGC of temporal retina
do not cross, innervate LGN
Visual pathway
Temporal retina
ON>OC>OT>LGN (synapse), optic radiations> PVC (BA 17)
Nasal retina
ON>cross @ OC>OT>LGN (synapse), OR>PVC (BA 17)
Right visual field
Right eye nasal retina and left eye temporal retina
Left visual field
Left eye nasal retina and right eye temporal retina
Extreme temporal portion
Only seen by ipsilateral eye
Nose blocks contralateral temporal hemiretina
Perimetry chart
L/R nasal fields (Temporal HR) small
L/R temporal fields (nasal HR) larger
