Q

How ophthalmoscopes work

A
  • create a conjugate image of the patient’s retina on the examiner’s retina.
  • BIO: a condensing lens is used to form intermediate, inverted, real image. Another lens (or accommodation) is needed to see the intermediate image, which is located about 1 arms length away from examiner

Q

Lensometer

A

• measures back vertex power and prismatic properties of lenses
• How it works
◦ Uses telescope system: look through standard lens and lens of interest (test lens)
‣ Parallel light is leaving the test lens
‣ Light from the standard lens must converge at F, the primary focal point of the test lens
‣ Now we move the target until it happen

Q

Hand neutralization

A
  • Similar in purpose to a lensometer
  • Utilizes with or against motion to determine the power of the lens
  • Minus lens: two prisms stacked apex to apex: with motion
  • Plus lens: two prisms stacked base to base: against motion
  • No power: no prismatic effect=no apparent motion
  • Thin lenses: to determine the power of an unknown lens, add another lens power to neutralize the apparent motion effect. When motion is stopped, The power of the known lens is equal in magnitude and opposite in sign to that of the unknown lens.

Keratometer

A
  • measures the radius of curvature of the center of the cornea
  • Cornea acts as convex mirror. One measures the size of the reflected image
  • To convert from radius to power: F=337.5/r
  • Same principles can be used to determine curvature of a non spherical cornea

Q

How to use lensometer

A
  • focus eye piece
  • Blur by turning wheel in plus direction then slowly step backwards until sphere lines are clear (skinny lines)
  • Adjust axis to clear sphere lines
  • Turn wheel in minus direction until the cylinder lines are clear. Difference between this power and the power at which the sphere lines were clear is the cylinder power

Q

Lensometer and prism

A

• verifies amount and direction of prism
• Compare location of cross hairs formed by sphere and cylinder lines with the location of a “bulls-eye” image of concentric circles
◦ Crosshairs to the left of the center of bulls-eye=BO (OD) or BI(OS)
◦ Crosshairs to the right of the center of the bulls-eye=BI (OD) or BO (OS)
◦ Crosshairs fall above the bulls-eye=BU
◦ Crosshairs below the bulls eye=BD

Q

Radiuscope

A

• measures the radius of curvature of RGP CL
• How it works
◦ Scope forms a target at some point P between the viewer and the CL of interest. Light from the image will reflect off the CL and form another image at some point Q
◦ P is located att he surface of the lens. This is because the object distance is zero
◦ P is located at the center of the curvature of the CL. The object distance is the radius of curvature
• Take home summary
◦ Simply need to move the CL from one such location to the other and measure how far it had moved. This distance is the radius of curvature
‣ The distance between the two positions of focus (the clear images)

Lens clock

A

• measures the sag of a lens
• Can be specified in terms of a lens power using other properties of the lens
• How it works
◦ Adjusting movable pin
◦ Based on sag value and assumed value of n, some lens clocks give a power readout
◦ May need calibrated
• Math for incorrectly calibrated lens clock: FL=(nL-1)/(nLC-1)xFLC

A

◦ Placing lens in front of eye creates telescope system
◦ Essentially creating a reverse telescope

◦ Assume power of eye is +60D
◦ If a +60D fundus lens is placed in front of the eye to create the reverse telescope, M=-(+60)/(+60)=-1x (true size of the image and its inverted)
	‣ This is why we can directly measure the optic nerve head with a +60D

Q

Lensometry and bifocals

A

• turn glasses around backwards in the lensometer
• Measure the distance power; only the sphere needed
• Measure the near power
• The difference in the near and distance powers gives the add power
• Must flip the lenses in the lensometer if the power is higher
◦ In practice we can estimate without turning the lenses around in the lensometer.

Q

Aspheric lenses

A

◦ In very high powered lenses, spherical aberrations are a problem where they are not a problem in lower powered lenses. We have to compensate by Rxing aspheric lenses which modify the surface without changing the power
◦ -23.00 to +7.00D
◦ Flatten the lens reduces magnification

Q

Designing lenses: radial astigmatism vs curvature of field

A

◦ Lenses that have corrected for radial astigmatism, curvature of field, or both fall under the heading “corrected curve” lenses
◦ Point focal lens: a lens corrected completely for radial astigmatism; curvature of field is uncorrected
◦ Percival form lens: a lens corrected completely for curvature of field; radial astigmatism is uncorrected
◦ Lenses are typically designed as a compromise between point focal and percival form so that both radial astigmatism and curvature of field are partially corrected.

Q

Chromatic aberrations

A
  • Rectus from the fact that the RI n is slightly dependent on wavelength.
  • Shorter wavelengths (blue) bend more as they pass through an interface or optical system than do longer wavelengths
  • The image will vary in location (longitudinal chromatic aberrations) and size (lateral chromatic aberration
  • Patient’s wearing high powered lenses may see colored fringes around objects because of this.
  • Chromatic aberrations underlay the use of RG balance in refractions.

◦ Minus lenses: the decentering direction corresponds to the apex direction of the induced prism

116
Q

Oblique meridans and Prentice’s rule

A

◦ Can not use prentice’s rule with so called sin-squared formula, which estimates the power in the oblique meridian
◦ This combination can be used when the decentering (or looking) is only vertical or only horizontal
◦ Useful for vertical imbalance
◦ If given a lens that is both decentered horizontally and vertically, use prentice’s rule for each direction individually. Then the total prism is the vector of the two sums

117
Q

Vertical prism effect

A

• vertical prism induced in each eye
• If these amounts differ, there is a vertical imbalance
• Results from different vertical prismatic effects in each eye
• To find vertical imbalance, we want the DIFFERENCE in the amount of vertical prism in each eye

◦ CL
◦ Fresnel Prism=attached to the lens

118

3% is a problem (around 3D difference)

140
Q

Anisometropia

A

• refractive state of the left eye differs from the right eye, usually by more than 1D
◦ Pts with myopic anisometropia have poor uncorrected distance acuities in both eyes, with the most myopic eye having the worst acuity
◦ Pts with hyperopic anisometropia have relatively good uncorrected distance acuity in both eyes, but they may have eyestrain

141
Q

Distance at which a hyperopic anisometropia can see clearly with both eyes

A

• Accommodation occurs equally in both eyes. Therefore there is no distance at which a hyperopic anisometrope can see clearly with both eyes. In myopia aniso, a person will typically learn to use the more myopic eye for near vision and the less myopic eye for distance. Hyperopic aniso will likely use the same eye (the least hyperopic) for all distances, putting at risk for amblyopia in early childhood

145
Q

When light hits a lens it is lost in two ways

A
  1. Reflected at the front and rear surface
    R=((n2-n1)/(N2+n1))^2
    -this would occur at each surface, to convert to tranmisttance, use Ts=1-R
  2. Absorbed by the medium: assume the amount transmitted (not absorbed) by the medium is Tm=1-(amount of light absorbed by the lens). For a lens, we combine those 2 factors: T=(Ts1)(Ts2)(Tm)
    There T is the total transmittance through the lens
146
Q

A

Back vertex power (Fv)

Fv=F2+(F1)/(1-(t/n)F1)

• if a center thickness is provided in the problem, always treat a contact lens as a thick lens and calculate the back vertex power. Otherwise, you can approximate the CL as a thin lens

147
Q

Vertex distance

A

• effective power of a lens changes depending on where the lens is located in front of the eye
• Plus lenses effectively become weaker as they move closer to the cornea, thus hyperopes will require more plus power
• Minus lenses effectively become stronger as they move closer, myopes rewuire less minus power in CL
• For both plus and minus lense, mor eplus power is necessary when the lens is moved from the spectacle plane to the cornea (CL have more plus power than specs)
• Vertex equation:
Fc=Fs/(1-dFs)
• the effective vergence equation should be used to determine the power at the corneal plane for any spec Rx > +/-4.00D

148
Q

Lacrimal lens of gas perm lenses

A

◦ A layer of tears is formed between the GP CL and the cornea. It has a certain power that is dependent on the front surface of the cornea and the back surface of the CL.
◦ Exploded system: consider the CL in air, the lacrimal lens in air, and the cornea in air.
◦ Refraction and GP CL
‣ PLL+PGP+PC=corneal plane refraction
‣ This equation must hold for a CL to perfectly correct an ametropic eye. We must account for the lacrimal lens when Rxing GPCLs

149
Q

Lacrimal lens power

A

‣ Determined by the surface of the cornea and the back surface of the GPCL
‣ Back surface of the lacrimal lens has a radius of curvature that is equal to the radius of curvature of the cornea
‣ Front surface of the lacrimal lens has a radius of curvature that is equal to the BC of the CL
‣ Tear lens power=337.5/r(mm)

150
Q

SAM FAP

A

‣ If the BC of the CL equals the curvature of the cornea, there will be a total lacrimal lens power of 0
‣ If the BC of the CL is steeper than the curvature of the cornea, the lacrimal lens will be plus power
‣ If the BC of the CL is flatter than the cornea, the lacrimal lens will be minus power
‣ Whenever the BC of the GPCL is changed, the power of the lacrimal lens will change; the power of the GPCL must also be modified in order to compensate for the change in the lacrimal lens power
• Steeper add minus, flatter add plus (SAMFAP)
‣ For every 0.1mm change in the BC of the GPCL, the power of the lacrimal lens and the total power of the GPCL will change by appx 0.50D.

Q

Lacrimal lens and corneal astigmatism

A

• lacrimal lens will completely correct the corneal astigmatism

158
Q

Residual astigmatism on GPCL

A

◦ The total amount of astigmatism in the eye is equal to the amount of corneal astigmatism plus the amount of internal astigmatism (lenticular). Residual astigmatism is the amount of astigmatism not corrected by a GP
◦ For a GPCL, the amount of residual astigmatism is simply the amount of astigmatism not attributable to the cornea
◦ Patients can often tolerate <1.00D WTR astigmatism and < 0.75D ATR or oblique astigmatism. If more than this is present, fit with a toric GPCL

159
Q

Javal’s rule

A

◦ Allows one to empirically predict the total astigmatism correction at the spectacle plane using the results from keratometry.
◦ A(RX)=1.25Ac+(-0.50D x 090)
◦ Ac is the corneal astigmatism, add 0.50D because the average amount of internal astigmatism is roughly -0.50Dx090

160
Q

Over refraction nand GPCL

A

◦ Determine the BVA with CL fit, and to help empirically determine the total power of the CL and the amount of residual astigmatism
◦ If the over refraction for a spehiercal GPCL is not Plano, simply add the OR to the CL power in order to determin the new CL power. Note that the OR will already take into account the power of the lacrimal lens.

161
Q

Peripheral curves of GPCL

A

◦ Allow alignment between the CL edge and the peripheral cornea
◦ prevent the edge of the CL from bearing on the cornea during movement of the CL
◦ Promote tear exchange underneath the CL to maintain adequate metabolism
◦ Support tear meniscus at the edge of the CL to promote CL centration

162
Q

Edge thickness in GPCL

A

ideal thickness to promote lid attachment is the edge thickness of a -3.00D GPCL
◦ More plus than -1.50D tend to drop inferiorly. A Plano/minus carrier lenticular may be added to thicken the edge
◦ More minus than -5.00D edges are too thick and ride high. A plus lenticular or CN beveling added to decrease edge thickness

163
Q

Edge lift and GPCL

A

distance between the peripheral edge of the GPCL and the cornea. Changed in 0.1mm steps
◦ Excessive edge lift: excessive peripheral pooling of NaFL. Results in decreased CL centration, increased awareness of CL on eye, and cornea desiccation (3 and 9 O’clock)
◦ Inadequate edge lift: minimal pooling of NaFL. Results in debris trapped underneath the CL, poor CL movement with a greater risk of CL adherence, inadequate tear exchange, and vascularized limbal keratitis

164
Q

Center thickness of GPCL

A

influences O2 transmissibility, flexure, and center of gravity. Changed in 0.03mm steps
◦ A thinner CT as greater oxygen tranmission, better centration, more flexure
◦ Thicker CT has less oxygen transmission and less flexure, drops inferiorly
◦ Higher DK lenses require thicker CT in order to mimize flexure

165
Q

Center of gravity of GPCL

A

◦ The more posterior the center of gravity, the better the centration of the CL

166
Q

Spherical GPCL and astigmatism

A

can be fit on corneal astigmatism because of the lacrimal lens
• Large amounts of corneal astigmatisms may lead to a poor fit with a spherical GP
◦ Tori GPCL may be better

167
Q

Bitoric GPCL

A

◦ Corneal astigmatism >2.50D is necessary to have a toric back surface
◦ A toric front surface is also required in addition to the toric back surface (bitoric) in patients where the spectacle astigmatism is not equal to 1.5 x corneal astigmatism
◦ A back surface GPCL provides more astigmatism correction that what is expected based on the BC measurement. A toric front surface is necessary in order to compensate for the additional astigmatism correction provided by the toric back surface, resulting in a bitoric CL.
◦ Fitting bitoric on-K: usually too tight. Most recommend fitting 0.25D flatter than K

168
Q

Saddle fit bitoric

A

equal alignemtn in both principle meridians. Fit 0.25D flatter. Most appropriate in ATR/oblique

169
Q

Low toric stimulation bitoric GPCL

170
Q

Back surface toric GPCL

A

◦ Indicated in patients >2.5oD corneal astigmatism AND the magnitude of spectacle astigmatism is eucalyptus to 1.5x corneal astigmatism
◦ In pts with spec astigmatism=1.5x corneal astigmatism, the extra cyl correction provided by the toric back surface perfectly correct for the total amount of astigmatism in the eye
◦ The rule that spec astigmatism=1.5x corneal astigmatism is usually met in pts with ATR astigmatism

171
Q

Front surface toric GPCL

A

◦ Spherical back surface and a toric front surface
◦ Indicated for patients with corneal astigmatism < 2.50D and with an unacceptable magnitude of residual astigmatism
◦ The front toric surface will correct the residual astigmatism
◦ More susceptible to rotation on the eye, must use prism ballast

172
Q

Aspheric GPCL

A

◦ Progressively flatten towards periphery
◦ Improved alignment, better centration and comfort, decreased SA and decreased tear exchange
◦ Back surface aspheric
‣ ATR astigmatism, irregualr corneal astigmatism, or bordering corneal astigmatism
◦ Front surface aspheric
‣ Excessive residual astigmatism or patients who have hypercritical VA demands
◦ Main disadvantage is decreased tear exchange

173
Q

Multifocal GPCL

A

◦ Simultaneous design: both distance and near power are located within the pupil at the same time
‣ Centration is critical!
• Dependent on the size of the pupil
◦ translating deisgn
‣ Lens is segmented
‣ Prism ballasted
‣ Crescent, executive bifocal, trifocal designs

174
Q

Gas permeability of GPCL

A

• P=Dk
• Oxygen permeability is essential to prevent excessive corneal edema
• High Dk values (51-99) or hyper Dk values (>100) for extended wear
• Low Dk (25-50) daily wear
• Total amount of gas that actually passes through= transmissivity (T)
T=(P/t)=Dk/t. T=thickness in cm

• the amount of oxygen transmitted through the CL increases when the permeability of the CL material increases, and the thickness decreases

175
Q

GPCL materials

A

◦ GPCL contain little water, oxygen permeability is dependent on the concentration of silicone/fluorine within the CL material.
◦ PMMA
‣ DK=0, original material
‣ Corneal edema, complete lack of O2
◦ Silicone acrylate (SA):
‣ DK=12-56
‣ Flexure, deposits, and poor wetability
◦ Fluoroscilicone acrylate (FSA)
‣ Dk=18-163
‣ Better wetability, less deposit, less flexure, less dryness

176
Q

Selecting GPCL materials

A

◦ Patients previously fit with PMMA should be refit into low DK materials
◦ Myopes: low Dk (25-50) for daily wear, high Dk (51-99) for extended wear

190
Q

SCL

  • Hand held magnifiers, stand magnifiers, and/or telescopes
217
Q

Difference between linear and angular mag

A
  • ML compares the ratio of the object size to the image size formed by an optical system. Math: ML=L/L1 or Hi/Ho
  • MA compares the ratio of the original retinal image size to the retinal image size when the object is viewed through an optical system
218
Q

HHM

A

◦ High plus lens
◦ Typically places in front of th eye so that the object of interest is located at the primary focal point of the magnifier
◦ Also known as a collimating magnifier (light leaves the system in form of plane waves
◦ Accommodation (and thus an ADD) are NOT required in order for the patient to view the object clearly though the HHM because the image is formed by plane waves (zero image vergence)

219
Q

A

MT=|u|F

U=dist btwene object and eye

220
Q

Q

Telescope labeling

A

AXB, A is magnification and B is the objective lens diameter

227
Q

FOV of telescopes

A

dependent on the diameter of the exit pupil and the diameter of the entrance pupil of the patients eye
◦ Telescopes with a given magnification, increasing the entrance pupil diameter (size of the objective lens) will increase the exit pupil diameter, and therefore the FOV
◦ Will continue to increases as the exit pupil diameter of the telescope is increased up until the exit pupil becomes larger than the size of the patient’s pupil. The patients pupil diameter becomes the limiting factor.
◦ FOV can also be increased by aligning the exit pupil of the telescope as close as possible to the patients entrance pupil.

228
Q

Keplarian telescope

A

◦ Objective and ocular are plus lenses
◦ Objective lens forms a real, magnified, and inverted image
◦ Longer tube length and heavier

Q

Telemicroscope

A

◦ Used to view near objects
◦ 2 solutions to eliminate the need for accommodation when viewing a near object with a telescope
‣ Adjust the tube length
‣ Add a reading cap to the objective side of the telescope
◦ A reading cap acts as a hand held magnifier. Object is located at the primary focal point of the reading cap. Neutralize the incoming divergent waves from the object, allowing plane waves to enter, so zero accommodation required.
◦ A combination of a telescope and a reading cap is known as a telemicroscope

239
Q

Reversed telescope

A 
◦ Expand VF, good for RP and glaucoma 
◦ Accomplished by turning the scope around so that the patient looks through the objective lens rather than the ocular lens. 
◦ Will minify objects
◦ Must have good central VA
◦ Often hand held
◦ Used for spotting objects
◦ 2.5X to 4x galilean most often used

248
Q

Moderate low vision

A

20/70 to 20/160
◦ Because the patient can read at a distance of 25cm or less, in order to see 1M print, it is often difficult for the patient to maintain binocular vision due to increased demand on convergence
◦ Require BI prism to reduce the demand on convergence
◦ In general, when patients rewuire reading glasses > +4.00D, prescribe BI prism to reduce the convergence demand. The amount of BI prism per eye is 2 + D (the sphere power of the eye).
‣ +8.00D readers = 10 PD BI

249
Q

261
Q

Trial fram refraction

A

◦ Watch for eccentric viewing
◦ Patient can easily turn their head and eyes in order to sue eccentric viewing if they have scotomas
◦ Eccentric viewing occurs when the patient uses a retinal point other than the fovea to view the object. The point is often located adjacent to the scotoma and is known as the preferred retinal locus (PRL)
