Accomodation/convergence reflex
ability of the eyes to use binocular vision as one image. accomodation. ability of the eye to focus on an obeject at various distances/depth
Direcct reflex
stimulation of one eye directly innervates the opposite eye. ie constriction of one eye has the same effect in the other eye. tests affenerent and efferent nerves.
consensual reflex
stimulation of good eye constricts pupil of the blind eye. stimulation of the blind eye does not constrict the pupil of the good eye.
Swinging penlight/ flashlight test
tests for optic nerve damage, negative response signals marcus gunn pupil. should react equally with consensual constriction
anisocoria
unequal size of pupils
Adies pupil
unequal pupils caused usually by viral or bacterial infection. infection interferes with postganglionic fibers of the parasympathetic innervation of the eye. characterized by tonically dialated pupil.
Argyll robertson pupil
bilatteraly small pupils that constrict (accommodate) but do not react to light stimulus. Prostitution eye, they accomodate but do not react.
Marcus Gunn Pupil
decreased constriction in affectted eye. good eye has equal rxn, lesion of optic nerve decreases rxn in effected eye

earliest sign of diabetic retinopathy, small round red dots on the retinal surface increases wiht retinal involvment, not assoc, with vessels
Retinal hemorrhages
bundles of straw or flames,indicative of ischemic retina, leads to exudates of fluid, lipids and proteins.
Retinal exudates
bright white reflective lesions on the retina. indicate increased perm. leading to edema of retina. if macula vison may be lost
