17
Q

= 1.0 degrees scatoma size

A

foveal fusion

18
Q

1.1-3.0 degrees scatoma size

A

macular fusion

19
Q

> 3,0 degrees scatoma size

A

peripheral fusion

20
Q

40 cm test distance angle subtended

A

7.12 (peripheral)

21
Q

1 m test distance angle subtended on retina

A

2.9 degrees (macular)

22
Q

3 m test distance angle subtended on retina

A

0.97 degrees (foveal)

23
Q

shallow suppression

A

only present in normal room illumination

24
Q

deep suppression

A

persists in dim (“artificial conditions”)

25
AC/A
``` fixed ratio (due to neuromuscular relationship) between accommodative convergence and accommodation (prism diopters)/(diopters) ```
26
Low AC/A
difficulty accommodating/converging - exo = convergence insufficiency - eso = divergence insufficiency
27
calculated AC/A
AC/A = PD(cm) + FD(m)(Pn-Pf) | eso (+); exo (-)
28
gradient AC/A
requires 2 measurements of phoria at near with different accommodative demand
29
expected AC/A
2/1 - 6/1
30
low AC/A
less than 2/1
31
high AC/A
greater than 6/1
32
lenses added to ortho for gradient AC/A
minus
33
lenses added to exo for gradient AC/A
minus
34
lenses added to eso for gradient AC/A
plus
35
clinical application for AC/A and convergence excess
high AC/A's are managed optically; convergence excess = bifocals
36
clinical application of overminus
stimulate convergence and accommodation in intermittent exotropia and PEDIG(?)
