Area of depressed vision is called
scotoma
*Normal central vision extends approx. _____ in all directions of central fixation.
30 degrees
The blind spot is the physiologic ____?? Where is it?
Scotoma; approx. 15-20 degrees temporal to central fixation and corresponds to optic nerve head (optic disc)
Malingering pts who fake blindness claim to have this:
Optokinetic Nystagmus (OKN):
What is the Hirschberg Test?
Corneal light reflex. used to test balance of EOM. Light directly in front of pt. and reflex should be in center of each cornea.
What is Strabismus
non alignment of eyes, diplopia, lazy eye. esotropia (cross eyes)
How do we test Marcus Gunn Pupil-Optic nerve disease (retrobulbar neuropathy)?
Detect by swinging flashlight test-patient fixates on distant target while examiner rapidly swings light from one eye to the other-observing for constriction of pupils.
Argyll Robertson Pupil
smal irregular and bilateral. Do not react to light but do react to near vision -- think CNS syphillis
Tonic "Adie's" Pupil
Large
one pupil smal, regular, and normal rxn to light and near vision. ptosis of eyelid, loss of sweating on forehead of invovled side occurs in which dz?
homer's syndrome
What does PERRLA stand for?
pupils equal, roud, reactive to light and accommodation.
palpation of eye is not very sensitive measure of what? it can also cause what?
measure of IOP and it can be dangerous, retinal detachment post surgery
what does regurgitation of mucopurulent fluid from puncta suggest?
obstructed nasolacrimal duct
what should you do if eye area is inflamed or tender?
avoid it!
what apperature allows observation of eccentric fixation without masking macula?

which aperature is helpful in determining various levels of lesions, especially tumors and edematous discs?
slit or streak
what filter is good for visulatization of blood vessels and hemorrhages? can distinguish veins from arteries (veins blue, arteries black!)
red-free filter
normal cup to disc ratio varies from...
