The Macular Photostress test evaluates what 2 layers of the reinta?
RPE and photoreceptors
What pathology does the Macular Photostress test disguinguish when a person has reduced VA?
Macular from optic nerve lesions
What test is often done with the Macular Photostress test?
Amsler Grid
Macular Photostress test - VA are corrected for what?
VA distance corrected
Macular Photostress test - monocular or binocular?
Monocular
Macular Photostress test - Dark adaption methodology?
Turn off lights and wait 1 minute.
Macular Photostress test - Which eye to occlude?
Worse acuity eye.
Macular Photostress test - What kind of target?
Isolated line that is one line larger than BCVA line.
Macular Photostress test - Bleaching methodology?
Transilluminator/penlight 2-3 cm from eye for 10 seconds
Macular Photostress test - Method 2 is different how?
Focus DO onto macular for 10 seconds
Macular Photostress test - Normal recovery time? Abnormal recovery time?
50-60 secs, 90-180 secs
Macular Photostress test - Validity reduced when VA is?
Worse than 20/80 BCVA
Macular Photostress test - Large difference in recover time between eyes is important? (T/F)
T
Prolonged photostress recovery could indice what 4 problems?
Cystoid macular edema, cellophane maculopathy, retinal pigment epithelium detachment, central serous retinopathy
Amsler Grid - VA corrected for what?
Near reading or 30 cm
Amsler Grid - Working distance?
30 cm
Amsler Grid - Monocular or binocular?
Monocular
Amsler Grid - Chart number 1 details?
Standard chart - Always used initially.
Amsler Grid - Chart number 2 details?
No central fixation point but diagonal arrows for central scotomas
Amsler Grid - Chart number 3 details?
Red on black for color scotomas
Amsler Grid - Chart number 4 details?
No lines so only shows scotomas, but doesn't show shape.
Amsler Grid - Chart number 5 details?
Parallel lines - Must be rotated to look for metamorphopsia.
Amsler Grid - Chart number 6 details?
Shows finer distortions along reading lines
Amsler Grid - Chart number 7 details?
For finer examination of juxta-central area. Good for high myopes when held in punctum remotum of uncorrected eye.
What 2 techniques should be avoided before using an Amsler Grid?
Ophthalmoscopy and artificial mydriasis
Amsler Grid - Question 1?
See white dot in center?
Amsler Grid - Question 2?
See four corners?
Amsler Grid - Question 3?
Lines are uninterrupted? (Scotomas)
Amsler Grid - Question 4?
Lines are distorted?
Amsler Grid - Question 5?
Vibrations or colors
Amsler Grid - Question 6?
How many squares from center and how many squares big is the bad spot?
What do I record when no problems on Amsler Grid?
No scotomas or metamorphopsia OD, OS
What is the average and abnormal proptosis values for children?
14.5-16mm, >20mm
What is the proptosis values for adults (average), caucasians (range), african americans (range)?
17 mm, 12-20 mm, 12-24 mm
What proptosis difference between 2 eyes is significant?
3 mm
Which exophthalmometer uses yoked prisms or mirrors mounted on a cross bar? Which one uses a clear acrylic rod?
Hertel, Luedde
For the Hertel Exophthalmometer, how do I reduce measurement error induced from being off the saggital plane?
Align the two red hairlines on the reflecting prism
(T/F) Two eyes are measures concurrently with the Hertel Exophthalmometer
F
How do you avoid parallax errors with the Luedde Exophthalmometer?
Line up the two corresponding mm markings with the corneal apex
Which exophthalmometer recommends taking the average of several measurements?
Luedde
What does Ophthalmodynamometry (scleral compression) do?
Measures the relative ophthalmic artery pressure
Name 3 indications for scleral compression?
Suspected carotid artery insufficiency, amaurosis fugax, unilateral reduced IOP
Name 3 contraindications for scleral compression?
Recent intraocular surgery, recent penetrating trauma, RD history.
What should be measured before doing scleral compression?
IOP OD, OS. Brachial blood pressure on both arms.
For scleral compression, what rate of pressure should be exerted on the globe?
20 grams/sec
For scleral compression, when the disc artery pulsates, we can measure the (Dyastolic/Systolic) pressure?
Systolic
For scleral compression, when the disc artery collapses we can measure the (Dyastolic/Systolic) pressure?
Dyastolic
(T/F) For scleral compression, readings should be taken concurrently on a single eye. Then we should move on to the other eye.
F - We should alternate between eyes.
(T/F) We need to average the values 3 times for scleral compression
T
