Subjective Refraction Flashcards

1
Q

When would it be appropriate to perform subjective refraction

A
  • To determine a prescription through which the patient can see comfortably.
  • To assess the patient’s blur discrimination
  • When you cannot perform objective testing
    e.g., due to media opacities or pinhole pupils.

17
Q

if a pt is 0.50D myope along 30M and 2.50 myope along 120M, which focal line is closest to retina

A

30M has lowest refractive error, the equivalent focal line is 120 FL, thus closest to R

18
Q

when performing axis refinement, the doctor sees an angle of 45, the patient will see an angle of ?

A

180-45 = 135

19
Q

given from dr perspective the 120 FL is closest to the retina, then the focal line nearest R for pt perspective is ?

A

(180-120) =60 FL
the orientation of the clearest line on the fan chart (from pt perspective) is the same as the orientation of focal line nearest the retina (from pt perspective)

20
Q

pt perspective: 70 FL is nearest retina
doctor perspective: (180- 70) = 110 FL nearest retina
what is the meridian nearest retina from dr perspective ?

A

110-90 = 20

21
Q

The meridian nearest the retina from dr perspective represents

A

cyl axis

22
Q

if the pt says the clearest line is at 30, what is the meridian from doctors perspective

A

dr perspective FL = 180-30 = 150
dr perspective meridian = 150- 90 = 60M
60M

23
Q

After cyl axis refinement, to correct cyl power, decreased the number of choice by providing 2 blocks that are _______ to achieve equal appearance of clear and dark

A

90 degrees apart

24
Q

what are two instances when 2 blocks appear equal to the pt:

A
  1. succesfully corrected astig
  2. COLC is on the retina, uncorrected astigmatism is still present
25
Q

if block appear equal, how can you confirm the astigmatism is fully corrected ?

A

place additional +1.00SPH to move the entire IOS, if equal pt voices equal blur

26
Q

if block appear equal, how do you know if COLC was left uncorrected ?

A

place additional +1.00 SPH and pt voices one block clearer than another > recheck cyl power

27
Q

when undergoing second sph refinement, what line VA should you stop at if pt can go to 20/20

A

beyond 20/20 until they reach best VA

28
Q

under duochrome tests, a hyperopic patient would report which target as clearest and dark

A

green, shorter AL

29
Q

under duochrome tests, a myopic patient would report which target as clearest and dark

A

red , longer AL

30
Q

would you perform binocular balance on a presbyopic pt?

A

yes, to ensure equal ADD OU

31
Q

does the eye accommodate more or less under binocular conditions

A

more

32
Q

what is exophoria

A

under converged eye under monocular conditions (outward turn), require more convergence when testing binocularly

33
Q

what is esophoria

A

the eye turns inwards under monocular conditions

34
Q

which of the binocular balancing techniques are the least reliable in represent daily encounters?

a. succesive alternate occlusion
b. vertical prism dissociation
c. septum techniques
d. polaroid techniques
e. A and b

A

E
successive alt occlusion
occluding an eye leads to convergence of the open eye and this is a false reality as the pupil isn’t in that position during primary gaze
VPD is the same as occluding one eye without actually doing it

35
Q

Given then prism is base up, where is the image

A

image appears down

36
Q

when performing humphriss binocular balancing technique, the blurred eye under a +1.00D lens has a central retinal blur of how many degrees ?

A

2-3

37
Q

during polaroid techniques, if a filter blocks transmission of the light reflecting from a letter, what color with the letter be?

A

black letter against white background

38
Q

during polaroid techniques, if a filter allows transmission of the light reflecting from a letter, what color with the letter be?

A

white letter on white background

39
Q

when a letter appears black, what does this represent

A

the absence of light, blocked light transmission

40
Q

which technique doesn’t require fogging lenses

A

polarized duochrome
