  6. Look only at the uncovered eye.
96
Q

In Cover/Uncover test if you cover the left eye and the right eye moves out you have a _______

A

Right esotropia

97
Q

When doing cover/uncover we are observing the eye recover from its deviation not observing the deviation itself, therefore it is recorded from ________

A

where it moves from
ex: cover right eye and left moves inward =left extropia
left eye cover and right eye moves outward=right esotropia

98
Q

Which test is used to detect a phoria?

A

Alternate cover test (aka: cross cover test)

99
Q

Explain how to do a cross cover test.

A
  1. Observe eyes as the pt fixates on a small, distant target.
  2. Alternately cover one eye then the other
  3. Do not allow the pt to be binocular
  4. Look at the covered eye as it is being uncovered
  5. Uncovered eye moves=phoria
100
Q

With cross cover test do not ever allow pt to be _______

A

binocular

101
Q

Which eye are you observing in cross cover test?

A

The covered eye as it is being uncovered

102
Q

When performing cross cover test you are observing the eye __________

A

Recover from its deviation, not the deviation itself (so it is recorded from the point it moves from)

103
Q

In this test you are testing for a tropia, you do allow the pt to be binocular, and you are looking at the uncovered eye.

A

Cover/Uncover test

104
Q

In this test you are testing for a phoria, pt is never to be binocular, and you are looking at the eye as you uncover it.

A

Alternate cover test (cross cover test)

105
Q

When talking about tropias and phorias, which one is always there and which one do you have to look for.

A

Tropia is always there
Phoria you have to look for

106
Q

If the pt does not have prism in their glasses you should do cover tests with glasses _______

A

off

107
Q

If pt has a has prism in their glasses you can have them _______ for cover tests. If they have prism in their glasses and you want to document total deviation have pt _______

A

ON
take off glasses

108
Q

Misalignment that is always there, even when both eyes are open and attempting to work together. Large angle deviations are obvious. If small angle, you can detect it with the Cover-Uncover test

A

Tropia

109
Q

Misalignment that only occurs some of the time, such as when the synchronization between the eyes is broken by the covering one eye. You can “break fusion” using he Cross-Cover test

A

Phoria

110
Q

Near point conversion is a ____test measured in ____

A

binocular
cm

111
Q

To measure Near point conversion pt looks at ______target

A

small

112
Q

with near point conversion record distance at which pt can no longer maintain ______(one eye will deviate outward)

A

Fusion

113
Q

When checking near point convergence, pt must be…….

A

Alert and cooperative and have normal fusion (cannot be amblyopic)

114
Q

What is the formula to determine the diopter of the lens if you know the focal length?

A

D=1/F
(D=Dioptric Power of Lens)
(F=Focal Lenght (in meters)

115
Q

If focal point is 1/3 of a meter (1/.33) what is the Dioptric power

A

D=3

(D=1 divided by .33cm=3D)
Think $ and cents (it takes (3) 33cents to reach $1 so the answer is 3D)

116
Q

Focal points are measured in _____

A

meters or parts of meters

117
Q

What is the formula to determine focal length?

A

F=1/D
F=Focal length in meters
D=Dioptric power of lens

118
Q

If Dioptric power is 4 then what is the focal length?

A

25cm
F=1 divided by 4 (1/4)
Think dollars and cents : it takes 4 quarters to equal $1, so it takes (4) 25cm to equal 1

119
Q

Is measuring accommodative aplitude a monocular or binocular test?

A

monocular

120
Q

Push-Up Method is also known as the ….

A

Proximity Method

121
Q

Proximity method is measured in _____but express in _____

A

cm
D

122
Q

*How do you convert cm to D?

A

Divide cm into 100 (100/cm=D)
(ex. convert 25cm into dioptors… 100/25=4D)

(D=1/F)

123
Q

When doing Proximity Method aka “Push-Up Method”, what do you do when a pt is presbyopic?

A

Add +2.50 over the pts distance Rx and subtract 2.5 from the measurement.

124
Q

How do you perform Proximity Method (Push-Up Method)?

A

Have pt look at small print (J3) held at a comfortable arms length, gradually moved closer til print blurs (with effort). This is a salient point, it’s not the first point at which it blurs, you must ask the pt to try to focus. Must stimulate their accommodation.

125
Q

*How do you determine accommodative amplitude (expressed in D) mathematically?

A

Convert near point and far point form cm to D then subtract and get the difference between the 2..this will be your accommodative amplitude.
Ex:
Near point is 10cm
Far point is 50cm
10cm=.1 Meters and 50cm =.5 Meters
D=1/.1 answer=D=10 and D=1/.5 answer: D=
(think $ and cents: it take (10) 10 cents to equal 1 dollar so (10)10 cm to equal 1 Meter and (2) 50 cents to equal $1 so (2)50cm to equal 1 meter)
10-2=8D accomodative amplitude

126
Q

Accommodative Amplitude

127
Q

Monocular

128
Q

A

Proximity Method(Push-up Method), Mathematically, and Spherical Lens Test.

129
Q

How do you perform Spherical lens test?

A

Have pt put distance Rx on, have them hold reading card at a comfortable distance (40cm), have them fixate on stationary threshold size type (0.5 size), add plus sphere lenses until print is blurred, add minus sphere lenses until print blurs again, the difference in = accommodative amplitude.

Why must you add plus sphere first when checking accommodative amplitude?

A

Because if you start with minus first you have stimulated their accommodation and you can’t do the test.

131

binocular

132

Q

How do you perform Fusional Convergence Amplitude testing?

A

Place the prism bar in front of one eye and gradually increase horizontal or vertical prisms while pt fixates on a muscle light. Can do at 36cm and 6M. The point at which the pt reports diplopia is recorded as the break point. This is measured in prism D. What ever D prism is recorded when they reported diplopia is their break point. You then gradually reduce prism until their vision fuses, this is the recovery point recorded in prism D.
