1
Q

What is refraction?

A

The change in the direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in velocity.

The frequency of the wave remains the same.
V = f x wavelength
Given frequency is constant, , V is directly proportional to wavelength.

Q

What happens to light at the boundary at two media?

A

There is partial reflection and refraction (Depending on the angle of incidence and the critical angle of the medium).

Incidence > critical angle, there is refraction

Incidence = Critical angle, the angle of refraction is 90 degrees.

A

Q

What are the main symptoms of hyperopia?

A

Visual acuity at near tends to blur relatively early.

Nature of blue is vary from inability to read fine print to near vision is clear by suddenly and intermittently blur.

Blurred vision is more noticeable if person is tired, printing is weak or light inadequate.

Asthenopic symptoms: eyepain, headache in frontal regions, burning sensation in eyes, blepharoconjunctivitis

Q

What is abmlyopia?

A

Uncorrected hyperopia > 5D.

21
Q

What is hyperopia?

A

Farsightedness (hyperopia) is a common vision condition in which you can see distant objects clearly, but objects nearby may be blurry.

22
Q

Which lens should be prescribed in patients with hyperopia?

A

Correction with converging (Positive lens)

Correction with positive lens + cataract extraction

Correction with contact lens

Correction with intraocular lens

23
Q

What is astigmatism?

A

A defect in the eye or in a lens caused by a deviation from spherical curvature, which results in distorted images, as light rays are prevented from meeting at a common focus.

Parallel rays come to focus in 2 focal lines rather than a single focal point.

24
Q

What is the cause if astigmatism?

A

Refractive media is not spherical, refract differently along one meridian than along meridian perpendicular to it– Focal points (Punctiform object is is represent as 2 sharply defined lines)

25
Q

What is the circle of confusion

A

The two meridians (I and II) are perpendicular to each other. A punctiform object (o) is represented as a line segment Y0 And Y1 at the focal points of the two meridians. Midway between these two focal points is the “circle of least confusion” (Kr), the location with the least loss of image definition

26
Q

what are the four main symptoms of astigmatism?

A

1) Asthenopic symptoms (headache and eyepain)
2) Blurred vision
3) Distortion of vision
4) Head tilting and turning

27
Q

What is the treatment of regular astigmatism?

A

Cylinder lenses with or without spherical lenses (convex or concave), Sx

28
Q

What is the treatment of irregular astigmatism?

A

Rigid cylinder lenses, surgery

29
Q

What happens to the pupil in the near response triad?

A

Pupillary miosis, the pupil constricts increasing the depth of field of the optics of the eye

30
Q

Which muscles mediate the pupil constriction?

A

The circular sphincter pupillae muscles within the iris

31
Q

Which muscles assist with convergence?

A

Medial recti

32
Q

What is convergence in the near response triad?

A

Aligns both eyes towards a new object.

Both eyes adduct medially at the same time

33
Q

What is accommodation in the near response triad?

A

Increases the refractive power of the lens for near vision

34
Q

What is the resultant effect with increasing the depth of field?

A

The eye optical system is able to maintain a clear focus over a certain range of viewing distance even without relying on accommodation

35
Q

What is the effect on vision in eyes with shallow depth?

A

Focus is easily lost even with the slightest object movement

36
Q

What is presbyopia?

A

The natural occurring loss of accommodation (focus for near objects)

The lens looses its elasticity

37
Q

What is the average age of onset for presbyopia?

A

40 years

38
Q

Which type of vision is intact in presbyopia?

A

Distant vision

39
Q

How can presbyopia be treated?

A

Reading glasses with extra-refractive power for near vision

Convex glasses in near vision:

1) Bifocal
2) Trifocal
3) Progressive power glasses
4) Reading glasses

40
Q

Which type of lenses can be used to correct presbyopia?

A

Monofocal lenses, spherical lenses, cylindrical and multi-focal lenses.

41
Q

What are the advantages to using contact lenses?

A

higher quality of optical image and less influence on the size of retinal image than spectacle lenses
indication : cosmetic , athletic activities , occupational , irregular corneal astigmatism , high anisometropia , corneal disease

42
Q

What are the disadvantages of using contact lenses?

A

disadvantages : careful daily cleaning and disinfection , expense

43
Q

What are the possible complications with using contact lenses?

A

complication : infectious keratitis , giant papillary conjunctivitis , corneal vascularization , severe chronic conjunctivitis

44
Q

What are the possible surgical corrections for presbyopia?

A

Keratorefractive surgery :RK, AK, PRK, LASIK, ICR, thermokeratoplasty
Intraocular surgery : clear lens extraction (with or without IOL), phakic IOL

45
Q

What is the first stage of surgical correction in presbyopia?

A

Initial cutting of the corneal flap using a microblade

46
Q

What is the purpose of photorefractive treatment (laser) in surgical correction of the lens?

A

The corneal stroma is reshaped post laser

47
Q

What are the 8 stages of surgical correction of the lens?

A 
Pre operative eye
Initial cutting of corneal flap
Cutting of corneal flap
Flipping of corneal flap
Photorefractive treatment (laser)
Corneal stroma reshaped post laser
Corneal flap back in position
Treatment completed
48
Q

What surgical correction can be done to correct patients with myopia and astigmatism?

A

Staar intra-collamer lens (ICL) is inserted into the eye

49
Q

What is clear lens extraction and IOL?

A

IOL: Intra ocular lens.

Same as cataract extraction.

Implantation of artificial lens.

Lose accommodation (patient will need reading glasses).

1) The natural lens is removed using a phaco tip
2) An artificial intraocular lens is inserted in the position where the natural lens would sit
