25
How far away should you be from a patient when performing a Bruckner test?
80 - 100 cm
26
What instrument is used during a Bruckner test?
Opthalmoscope
27
What should you adjust for when using an Opthalmoscope during a Bruckner test?
Adjust the lens for distance (ex. +1.00D for 1m) and your refractive error if required
28
How do you record a Bruckner test?
Normal: OD = OS Defects: OS brighter than OD
29
How do you interpret a Bruckner test?
Brighter / whiter pupil is the eye with problem
30
What is the visible spectrum of light?
about 380nm - 750nm
31
What is the Trichromacy Theory?
Young - 3 types of photoreceptors sensitive to red/yellow/blue in a ratio of 8:7:6 Von Helmhotz - only three wavelengths needed to create all colors
32
Rods
(scotopic): all rhodopsin. Peak at about 498nm
33
Cones
(photopic): 3 types of photopigments (opsins) with different wavelength at which highest light absorption is observed (lambda max)
34
What are the 3 types of photopigments and what are their peak wavelengths?
Short (Cyanolabe): peak at 430nm Middle (Chlorolabe): Peak at 535nm Long (Erytholabe): Peak at 565nm
35
The fovea lacks which photopigment?
S-cones (Cyanolabes)
36
What is the ratio of L- and M-cones to S-cones throughout the entire retina?
100:1
37
What is important to remember about cones and wavelength absorption?
Individual cones do NOT transmit information about wavelength of a light stimulus; what varies is the PROBABILITY that a photon will be aborbed
38
What dos the Trichromatic Theory NOT explain?
Color appearance or afterimages
39
What is the Opponent Process Theory of Color Vision?
There are four colors in two opposite pairs and three opposite channels: Red versus Green Blue versus Yellow Black versus White
40
How can both theories of Color Vision be correct?
Trichromatic Theory: at the photoreceptor level | Opponent-Process: 3 colors are wired to produce the opposite color translation
41
Anomalous Trichromat
3 photopigments present, but one has "abnormal" spectral sensitivity function
42
Dichromacy
Only 2 types of photopigments are working correctly; third is either missing or defective
43
Monochromacy
Total color blindness. Two cone types are missing or defective
44
Protanomaly Trichromat
L-opsin altered (response towards green): poor red-green discrimination. About 1% of males.
45
Deutranomaly Trichromat
M-opsin altered (response towards red): mildly affects red-green hue discrimination. About 5% males.
46
Tritanomaly Trichromat
S-opsin altered. Affects blue-yellow discrimination. Rare.
47
Protanopia
Dichromacy. L-cones are missing
48
Deuteranopia
Dichromacy. M-cones are missing
49
Tritanopia
Dichromacy: S-cones are missing
50
Tetartanopia
Theoretical Dichromacy. No yellow.
51
Rod Monochromacy
Rod Monochromacy: Achromatopsia. No cones. Abnormal vision.
52
Cone Monochromacy
Color blindness. Cannot distinguish hues, but otherwise normal vision.
53
Percentage of boys vs girls with color blindness
Boys = 8% Females = 0.4% Due to X-Linked nature of disease
54
What makes blue-yellow congenital color anomalies special?
1. Verrrrry Rare (0.005%) 2. Autosomal Dominant 3. In chromosome 7
55
Acquired Color Vision Defect Characteristics
1. Asymmetric variance 2. Due to pathological process 3. Associated with medication 4. Often blue/yellow defect, but can be red/green 5. Usually non-selective results from tests
56
What is a limitation of the Ishihara test?
Can only detect red/green defects
57
What lighting is required by the Ishihara test?
"True Daylight" or Daylight Illuminator or incandescent bulb (60-100 watts) while patients wears C-Daylight glasses
58
How far away is the Ishihara test conducted from the plates?
75 cm
59
How many Ishihara plates does a patient need to get wrong in order to be considered color deficient?
If 7 or less correct, color deficient. If 8-9 correct (rare): conduct another test 10 = pass
60
Ishihara plates #12 - #14 can be used to determine what?
MIGHT differentiate Deuteranopia from Protanopia
61
Are revisions accepted with HRR #4 plates?
Hell no!
62
What do plates HRR plates #5 - #10 measure?
Initial color test. If normal color vision, stop here
63
If a patient has a B/Y defect, what HRR plate(s) will he/she get wrong?
#5 or #6. Then go to plates #21 - #24
64
If a patient has a R/G defect, what HRR plates(s) will he/she get wrong?
#7 - #10. Then go to plates #11 - #20
65
How do you distinguish a proton vs deutan color defect with HRR #4 score sheets?
Column with greater number of checks is the defect. Ex. - if deutan column has more checks, the patient has a deutan defect If same number of checks = unclassified
66
What do you do with a mydriatic eye drops bottle in a Red Desaturation Test?
Compare good eye recognition of the red bottle cap with the defective eye to determine what percentage that eye "desaturates" the color.
67
Anisometropia
The condition in which the two eyes have unequal refractive power
