Accomodation is adult-like by _______ of age
6 month
Bincolar vision and stereo reaches adult like levels by ______ weeks
16-20
Eye movements don't reach adult levels until ______ yrs of age
12-13
If patent is looking up and to the right it might by ______ syndrome
Brown
atients problem involves the LSO being tight!
_____ is rapid eye movements from one stationary object to another
saccades
What ocurs after every saccade?
A fixational pause --> information processing occurs during fixation... rain does not process info while eye is saccades so there is no awareness of blur

fixation lasts 200-250 ms
Why do we not experience blur when we look from object to object?
brain does not process info while we saccade, only processes during fixational pauses
____ is the ability to follow a moving object
pursuits

controlled by occipitoparietal junction
How long is a fixational pause?
200-250 ms
T/F 90% of reading time IS spent on fixation
T
we aquire about _______ characters per saccade
5-8
Beginner readers tend to have
longer fixations
shorter length of saccade
Regressions
Slow reading rate
T/F Beginner readers have shorter lengths of saccades
T
T/F Beginner readers have LESS regressions
F

MORE
Reading rate doubles from 1st to ___- grade
6TH
________ OCCURS WHEN A READER OVERSHOOTS TARGES OR MISINTERPRETS TEXT
rEGRESSIONS
t/f saccadic dyfunction CAN cause reading problems
T

Poort saccades are secondary to deficient language skills
If pt complains aout excessive head movments, frequent loss of place, skipping lines and poor comprehension they may have what eye movement disorder?
Saccadic dsyfufnction
It patent complins about ecessive head movments, poor perforamnce in sports and reading difficulty, they may have what eye disorder?
Pursuits dysfunction
Pts with abnormal fixation if he/she cannot maintain fixation for atleast __- seconds
5
__________ is a fuxation disorder associated with pathological poor fixation
Nystagmus
3 ways to evaluate saccades
NUSCO
DEM test
Visagraph


Direct observation of saccades is NUSCO
Direct observation of saccades is measured using
NSUCO
Visual Verbal Format used to test saccades
DEM Test
NSUCO tes evaluates what?
sacades and pusrsuits

inexpensive and easy to perofm
T/F NSCO is a QUANITATIVE assessment
FALSE

QUALITATIVE
T/F NSUCO test is a inocular test
T
3 Criteria NSUCO test uses
Ability (how many compelte round trips) with max of 5

Accuracy (can pt accurately and constently fixate on target) with a max score of 5

Head and Body movement (can pt accomplis saccade without moving his head) with max of 5
T/F For NUSCO test, the HIGHER the score, the better the performance
T
Scoring of NSUCO pursuit test
Ability (pt can make complete roations, with max being two compelte rotation in each direction=5)

Accuracy (can pt accurately and constitently fixate on target with max score of r)

Head and Body movements (can pt accomplish pursuit without moving is ead with max score of 5)
NUSCO testing involves ______ trips in the hirzontal direction with patient alternately looking at _______-
5 trips

red to green ball
What is the test of choice for saccades??
Visual Verbal Format Test- the DEVELOPMENTAL EYE MOVEMENT TEST
DEM Test, Test A involves
PT READING OUT LOUD NUMERS DOWN THE FIRST vertical colum and then readind down second colum with only using their eyes.

This checks langue to make sure there is not a problem there.

ALSO KNOWN AS the AUTOMATICITY of NUMBER CALLING
ALSO KNOWN AS the AUTOMATICITY of NUMBER CALLING
DEM test Test A
DEM Test B involves
pt reading numbers down a colum and then reading down anther colum. Recod the time and number of errors wit a total number of 40 numers oriented vertically
DEM Test C involves
Patients reading numers across a horizontal column with a total number of 80 numbers in scattered pattern

Score how long it takes to read A,B and C and see how many errors there are
Adjust time for the DEM test is =
(time x 80)/ 80- omissions + repeated numbers)
DEM Type I behavior
nomral horizontal and vertical saccades
DEM Type II behavior
abnormal HORIZONTAL and NORMAL vertical
RATIO is high --> oculomotor dsyfunction
DEM Type III behavior
BOTH horizontal and vertical abnormal, with normal ratio

automaticity of numbers dysfunction
DEM Type IV Behavior
HIGH hirotnzal, VERTICAL and HIGH ratio
During DEM test, if pt makes a substitution error mark it with a
slash
IF during DEM test, pt repeats a number tice put a _ over the number
a

for Addition error
If pt during a DEM test omits a number, how do you mark it?
circle the number
If during DEM test, a pt switches the order of adjacent numbers but what marks between the numbers?
< >

this counts as only 1 error!!!
DEM test
TEST A and B assess ________ while C assesses ____--
verbal/speech/language skillls


eye movement
T/F You can treat Type II DEM behavior
T

abnormal horiztonal, normal vertical. Oculomotor dysfunction

igh ratio
T/F The Visagraph using a OUNCING BALL and a computer screen.
T

Pt reads 10 sentences silently while computer ecords eye movements
An ocular motor dysfunction has both
saccadic and pursuit dsyfunction
What is CAVT?
Commputer Aided VT

a program where patients will have to track and read by eithr rotating eyes, locating letters, tracking numbers, or searching for characters
What is PTS2?
Peceptual Visual Tracking Program

Tasks include
visual sequencing,search, scan, Tachistoscope, and Visual sequential processes.
If patient does not show improvent after 3 months of Home Based VT for eye movement disroders refer for
Office Based VT
T/F VT is the treatment of choice for eye movement disordrs
T!

use home based before office!
