Q

differemce between FAF and FNIAF

A

FAF is done using SLO uses 488 nm blue light and a 500 nm filter to isolate fluorescence other than lipofuscin FNIAF (NIA) is the fluorescence of melanin on RPE cells. uses excitation of 787 nm is less commonly used

Q

Autofluorescen filters?

A

remember the longer WL the more penetration so the original lfilters were 580/590 then spaide did 580/700 so more penetration but spectralis dies 480/520 so barely starting on the visible light spectrum (that is why is blue) and is more superficial imaging thus letting have infor on RPE only..

51
what is dark adaptation?
its the process by which, the photoreceptorsrecover sensitivity to light in the darkness after exposed to light.
52
how do you measure dark adaptation?
1. patient looks at a very bright light for few minutes (to bleach the photopigment ; bleach=lavado)2. patient placed in darkness for 20 mins3. measure time that the patient takes to see a small spot of light.This spot of light is projected 10-20 degrees from the fovea (highest rod concentration)
53
describe the dark adaptation curve
\* after bleaching the photoreceptors and \* after darkness for 20 mins \* wait until photoreceptors recover sensitivity \* the plot on the y axis is the sensitivity being 0 on top and increasing sensitivity going down \* the x axis is the time to recover sensitivity \* the graph has 2 branches or curves \* the cones recover sensitivity first at 5-10 minutes, this represents the first plateau reaching maximal sensitivity at 5 mins \* the plateau ends in the rod-cone break the rod-cone break is the point at which RODS become more sensitive than cones!! \* then rods continue to increase sensitivity until final threshold or plateau is reached. \*
54
what has been the classic device to measure dark adaptation?
Goldman-weekers adaptometer
55
what instruments can be used to measure dark adaptation?
\* Goldman-weekers adaptometer \* static perimeters (if you turn off the background light) light the HVF. \* SST-1 (LKC scotopic sensitivity test) measures global adapted sensitivity
56
what is better, to measure? \* final sensitivity level or \* time of adaptation? \* and how do you measure?
\* its more useful to measure final sensitivity level \* patch an eye for 30-45 minutes and then perform dark-adapted static perimetry to determine threshold at different retinal locations. This will tell you how widespread is the disease.
57
what diagnostic information can you get from doing dark adaptometry?
\* gives the degree of involvement of each, the rods and the cones \* in CSNB the rod branch or curve is absent so you only see the cone plateau \* rod monochromatism (no functioning cones)the cone branch is absent \* fundus albinopunctatus shows delayed dark adaptation for BOTH systems. In this case normal sensitivity may be reached at 3 hours other diseases with delayer DA \* Stargardts \* con-rod dystrophy \* RP
58
\* what diseases cause delayed DA?
\* other diseases with delayed DA \* Stargardts \* con-rod dystrophy \* RP \* fundus albinopunctatus
59
what is retinal densitometry?
technique used to measure levels of rhodopsin
60
what is the result in CSNB of \* DA \* retinal densitometry?
\* delayed DA - rod branch absent \* normal amount and kinetics of rhodopsin This finding demonstrated that the problem was not at the photoreceptor but in the synapsis
61
how is the DA sensitivity level and time to reach sensitivity in AMD?
\* decreased final sensitivity level \* delayed time in dark adaptation These can predict development of advanced AMDAlthough older patients have the same phenomenon, age matched AMD patients phenomenon is more pronounced Histopathology shows that rods die first before cones not only in AMD but in aging patientsDeficits in dark adaptation do not always correlate with scotopic sensitivity
62
can you do DA sensitivity to colored stimuli?
yes \* the rods are more sensitive to blue green than red \* cones are equally sensitive to red, blue, green \* if the cones are deade outside the fovea (where normaly are more rods than cones), the cones will be the primary cells and if you see that outside the fovea the sensitivity to red, green and blue is similar that means that the rods are gone.
63
what is ERG?
Its a MASS electrical response evoked from the ENTIRE retina by a brief flash of light
64
what are the ERG FIVE responses?
\* Rod response : scotopic-dark adapted \* Maximal combined response (dark adapted) \* Oscillatory potentials (dark adapted) \* Cone response: Single flash light-adapted \* 30-Hz flicker responses (light adapted)
65
what are the basic standard 5 ERG responses
Dark adapted \* Rod response : scotopic-dark adapted (-24 db light) \* Maximal combined response (dark adapted) (0 db & 11 db) \* Oscillatory potentials (dark adapted) (white 0 db) Light adapted:4. Cone response: Single flash light-adapted (0 db white light)5. 30-Hz flicker responses (light adapted) (0 db flicker)
66
what does the a and b wave represent?
a wave photoreceptor responseb wave bipolar AND MULLER
67
what are the scale axis of ERG waves (x and y)
x is in milliseconds (up to 250 ms)y is in MICROvolts (from -500 to 500)
68
how long does the entire a and b wave retinal response last in time?
150 milliseconds(the y axis goes up to 250 on the graph)
69
who do you measure a-wave and b wave?
\* a-wave from baseline to trough \* b wave from a-wave trough to b-wave peak
70
what is the implicit time?
the time from the stimulus to the trough (awave0 or to the peak (b-wave)
71
what are the best conditions to do an ERG?
\* dilated well pupils \* use contact lens method (burian-allen)
72
describe the ERG rod-response.how is it obtained?what is the significance?
\* you have to dark adapt a patient for at least 20 minutes \* flash a -24 db white light \* this light is below the cone threshold \* the response comes from rods only
73
describe the maximal combined response \* how is it done? \* what is the significance? what interesting feature you see in the waves?
\* flash a 0db and an 11 db white light in the dark \* generates a response from rods and cones. produces and a and a b wave \* the interesting feature is that on the ascending b-wave you can see oscillatory potentials
74
what are the Oscillatory potentials?how are they obtained
75
* how many degrees of the field of view are tested with the following: * Amsler * HVF 10-2 * HVF 24-2 * HVF 30-2 * Tangent scree: * GVF
* Amsler ----------\> **central 20** * HVF 10-2 ----------\> **20 degrees** * HVF 24-2 ----------\> **48 degrees (48 vertical x 54 horizontal)** * HVF 30-2 ----------\> **60 degrees** * Tangent scree:----------\> 30 degrees sitting at 1m * GVF----------\> **180 degrees**
76
* ON HVF: * which patient is the trigger happy on HVF? * sleepy, slow, unmotivated patient * patient presses button on the blind spot * marker of retinal sensitivity *
* trigger happy is FALSE POSITIVES * FALSE NEGATIVES * fixation losses * the MD is a marker of retinal sensitivity
77
how can you tell a patient on HVF is a trigger happy?
* due to HIGH FALSE POSITIVES
78
how can you tell the patient was falling asleep or was desmotivated ot tired during HVF?
due to HIGH FALSE NEGATIVES
