|
||||

|
||||
| A whole letter subtends an angle ___ from the eye, but able to discern features at ___? | 5' ; 1'
🗑
|
||||
| The first number in the phrase "20/20" symbolizes what? | distance at which the test is done
🗑
|
||||
| The second number in the phrase "20/20" symbolizes what? | distance at which a person with normal vision could read the letters
🗑
|
||||
| What is a person's visual acuity if they see the big E on the Snellen chart? | 20/200
🗑
|
||||
| How can you determine the size of the letters of any line on the chart? | divide the denominator by the numerator, and multiply by 8.87
🗑
|
||||
| What are some things that effect visual acuity? | Contrast; lighting (illumination); pupil size
🗑
|
||||
| If a pinhole doesn't correct or help vision problem is not refractive, it is...? | neurological
🗑
|
||||
| Which would help visual acuity a larger pupil size or smaller? | smaller
🗑
|
||||
| What is presbyopia? | Loss of sufficient accommodation at near; crystalline lens can't get as plus anymore
🗑
|
||||
| How much of total accommodation can be used comfortable for a long amount of time? | Half
🗑
|
||||
| What are symptoms of presbyopia? | blur, headaches, double vision
🗑
|
||||
| How is presbyopia corrected? | More plus power, convex lens
🗑
|
||||
| What are some options for prebyopes? | Bifocals, trifocals, single vision readers; two pairs of glasses; monocle; contacts monovision; slide glasses down nose; half-eyes
🗑
|
||||
| What is used to check near VA? | Reduced Snellen Chart; Jaeger system
🗑
|
||||
| What are the differences in the Snellen chart and Jaeger? | The distance at which the charts are read, and the Jaeger system is slightly larger. Snellen chart is more accurate

🗑
|
||||
| What distance is the Jaegar system read at? | 14 inches
🗑
|
||||
| What is early presbyopia? | When the near point of the distance prescription is closer than the far point of the add; there is an area that can be seen through distance and add
🗑
|
||||
| What is middle presbyopia? | When the near point of the distance and the far point of the add are at the same place.
🗑
|
||||
| What is advanced presbyopia? | When a gap exists between the near point of the distance and the far point of the add; use trifocal to fill in gap. Used when add power gets to +2.00
🗑
|
||||
| What are some fitting problems with first time bifocal wearers? | restricted field of view; upsets depth perception (things look bigger and closer); nuisance to wear; cylinder changes shapes of objects; reflections; changes in reading habits; bifocal lines bisect field of view; curbs and stairs
🗑
|
||||
| How well a patient adapts to wearing bifocals depends on.... | how the glasses fit into lifestyle; your measurements; your adjustments; and how well you prepare them
🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| Where do we measure for a trifocal? | bottom of pupil
🗑
|
||||
| Where do we measure for a child's bifocal? | center of pupil
🗑
|
||||
| Where do we measure for a progressive lens? | center of pupil
🗑
|
||||
| What type of frames are good for first time bifocal wearers? | frames with adjustable nosepads; gives some leeway to adjust segment
🗑
|
||||
| If you have a previous bifocal wearer is it good to set their bifocal where they've always had it? | Yes, it may bother them if you change it. But ask, the patient may want you to change it.
🗑
|
||||
| How do you want to set a child's bifocal? | High and wide so they don't look around it; bisect the pupil
🗑
|
||||
| What is accommodation? | when your eye accommodates for different distances.
🗑
|
||||
| The near point _______ as you age. | recedes
🗑
|
||||
| What is the formula for accommodation power? | (5-Age/4)=Accommodative power
🗑
|
||||
| What is the difference in myopes and hyperopes when fitting for bifocals? | Myopes can get along without glasses when needing to read up close; can get away with smaller/lower segments
🗑
|
||||
| When specifying center thickness, what is the minimum for dress eyewear? | 2 mm
🗑
|
||||
| When specifying center thickness, what is the minimum for safety eyewear? | 3 mm
🗑
|
||||
| When is it important to pay attention to center thickness on a bifocal? | When using a fused segment
🗑
|
||||
| Most bifocals are set too ___? Why? | low; opticians are afraid to set bifocal correctly, afraid the patient will see the line
🗑

🗑
|
||||
| Should seg heights be set equally? | Yes, it's best for optics, but not good cosmetically; progressive is best
