Q

What is the test of visual ability where a large bright object is moved slowly 1-2 feet from the patient? 1. How is it recorded? 2

A
  1. Fix and follow
  2. “F&F” = normal; “CSM” = not normal; central (C) or eccentric (UC); steady (S) or poor (US); Maintained fixation (M) or unmaintained (UM)

Q

During the 10 pd Base Up Test what should be asked of the patient? 1. What should be looked for by the examiner? 2

Q

Why is measuring the visual acuity of a child important?

A
  1. medicolegal reasons (establish VA before manipulate)
  2. monitor disease progress
  3. understand level of visual ability

Q

If you double the distance, how many lines worse should VA be?

A

3 lines worse

17
Q

What is done to find the MAR for VA?

A

inverse of Snellen and divide (20/100 = 5 min arc)

18
Q

For the decimal notation of a VA what is done?

A

divide Snellen fraction (20/100 = 0.2)

19
Q

How many cycles per degree are in 1 min of arc (20/20)?

A

30

Q

What type of test is the Sjogren hand test/ tumbling E/ Landolt C? 1. Why is this a poor test in preschoolers? 2

A
  1. resolution acuity

2. requires laterality and directionality development

21
Q

When is resolution acuity present? 1. When is it mature? 2.

A
  1. birth

2. 3 to 6 months

22
Q

Which resolution acuity test uses a vanishing optotype paradigm with more interesting targets than gratings? 1. What is this test especially useful for? 2

A
  1. Cardiff cards

2. determine VA on pt’s with congenital nystagmus

23
Q

Which test is just like the Landolt C but takes away the concept of directionality? 1. Is this a 2AFC test or a preferential looking test? 2

A
  1. Broken wheel

2. 2AFC

24
Q

What type of acuity are the HOTV charts measuring? 1. What are the options for administration? 2. What are the units used? 3. What makes it more difficult than Lea? 4

A
  1. recognition acuity
  2. naming or matching
  3. logMAR
  4. letters harder than pictures
