3
Q

External Photography

  1. What is it?
A
  1. Photographic Documentation of Pre and Post Treatment
4
Q

High Magnification Video

  1. These offer what?
  2. Used for Objectively doing what?
A
  1. Good resolution Capability
  2. Documenting and evaluating less obvious Fixational Eye Movement Abnormalities (about 1 degree), such as increased Amblyopic drift, as well as strabismus related saccadic intrusions and small-amplitude jerk nystagmus, especially before and after vision therapy
5
Q

Direct Ophthalmoscopy (1)

  1. With this technique, target displacements on the retina as well as the resultant eye movement(s) can be what?
  2. Both Fixational Dynamics (such as saccadic overshoot and nystagmus) and time-averaged fixational locus (like eccentric fixation/viewing) can be what?
A
  1. visualized and assessed directly

2. can be evaluated

6
Q

Direct Ophthalmoscopy (2)

  1. Due to High Mag of the System Optics (-16x), it’s an easy way to assess what things?
  2. A Focused target is projected onto what?
    a. If the target and head are held stationary, then fixation can be what?
    b. If head is rotated, what can be directly visualized?
  3. IF the target is either suddenly displaced (STEP INPUT) or slowly and smoothly moved (Ramp input), then what can be evaluated?
    a. Resolution with this technique is what?
A
  1. Monocular fixation as well as Saccadic, pursuit, vestibular ability, especially in peeps w/amblyopia and in patients w/CNS disorders
  2. onto the patient’s Central Retina
    a. can be assessed
    b. Vestibular Function
  3. then saccadic and pursuit function, respectively, can be evaluated
    a. is 0.5 degrees or better
7
Q

Electrooculography

  1. Change in electric field potential with eye movement can be exploited to obtain an Objective record of change in what?
  2. EOG technique depends on what?
    a. Electrical Potential Difference of what?

  2. on Voltage difference or electrical potential difference b/w Anterior and Posterior Pole of the Eye.
    a. 10-20 millivolts b/w the 2 poles
8
Q

Electrooculography

  1. Advantages
A
  1. measure +/- 70 degrees of movement
  2. Easy to set up
  3. Can be used to assess horizontal and vertical eye movement
  4. DOESNT obstruct the field of view
9
Q

Electrooculography

  1. Disadvantages
A
  1. Noisy
  2. System resolution is more than 1 degree
  3. Changes in light adaptation can influence the signal
10
Q

  4. By measuring these values, what can be determined?
  5. TEMPORAL RESOLUTION as fast as what?
  6. what is GOOD?
A
  1. using coils that are embedded into a tightly-fitting contact lens
  2. by Magnets positioned around the eye
  3. w/the direction and angular displacement of the eye
  4. the position of the eye can be determined
  5. as 1000 Hz
  6. SPATIAL RESOLUTION is GOOD
