Specific examination points cover general appearance, head posture, eyelid assessment, ocular deviation and movement testing, and evaluating binocular visual functions.
This document discusses tests for measuring stereopsis, or depth perception. It describes four main stereopsis tests:
1) The TNO stereo test, which uses colored random dot stereograms to test retinal disparities from 15 to 480 seconds of arc.
2) The Lang Stereotest II, which uses random dots and cylindrical gratings to test four levels of stereopsis from 200 to 600 seconds of arc.
3) The Frisby test, which uses small random shapes with one hidden circle in each plate to test disparity.
4) The Titmus Fly test, which first tests gross stereopsis using a stereoscopic image of a housefly, then tests finer stereopsis using animals and
This document discusses various binocular refraction techniques including binocular balancing and binocular best sphere. It describes several methods for achieving binocular balancing such as Humphiss fogging, alternate occlusion testing, duochrome testing with fogging, prism dissociation, and Turville's infinity balance test. The goal of binocular balancing is to achieve equal accommodation between the two eyes rather than just matching visual acuity. Proper binocular balancing is important to reduce asthenopia from an imbalanced refraction.
This document discusses low vision in childhood, including various pathologies that can cause low vision such as Leber's amaurosis, optic atrophy, and retinitis pigmentosa. It outlines the visual prognosis and visual field defects associated with each condition. The document also discusses the use of low vision aids in children, noting that children are more accepting of aids and that aids should be introduced early. Various types of aids are described, from magnifiers to closed-circuit television. The document concludes with references.
Aniseikonia refers to an unequal apparent size of images seen by the two eyes. It can result from differences in refractive errors between the eyes (refractive aniseikonia) or differences in the distribution of retinal elements (basic aniseikonia). Symptoms include headaches, asthenopia, and difficulties with mobility or fusion. Aniseikonia is usually caused by anisometropia above 1.50-2.00 diopters and analyzing ocular components can help determine if it is due to refractive or axial differences.

Accommodation anomalies can occur due to various causes and present with different symptoms. Assessment involves dynamic retinoscopy and measuring accommodation amplitudes. Accommodative fatigue can result from overuse and be treated by correcting refractive errors and discussing visual hygiene. Presbyopia is age-related and treated with near vision correction. Other failures of accommodation include insufficiency, paralysis, spasm, and sustained accommodation, each with different etiologies, signs, and treatments.
This document discusses various tests used to evaluate binocular vision, including cover tests, Hess charting, and diplopia charting. Cover tests are used to detect manifest or latent strabismus and determine deviation direction. Hess charting maps eye positions in 9 gazes using colored lenses to dissociate vision between eyes. It identifies muscle under or overaction. Diplopia charting records double vision separation in 9 gazes to localize affected muscles. These objective tests evaluate binocular function and strabismus type and localization.
The Worth Four Dot test is used to assess binocular vision. It presents four lights - red, green, green, white - through red-green glasses. The test checks for suppression or diplopia by asking the patient to report the number, color, and position of lights seen. Abnormal responses can indicate conditions like strabismus, suppression in one eye, or vertical/horizontal diplopia from deviations. The test is inexpensive and easy to perform but relies on subjective patient responses.
This document discusses exodeviations (divergent strabismus), which occurs when the visual axis is deviated laterally and the fovea is rotated nasally. Exodeviations can be comitant or incomitant. Comitant exodeviations include infantile exotropia, intermittent exotropia, and sensory exotropia. Incomitant exodeviations include paralytic, restrictive, and musculofascial innervational anomalies. Treatment options depend on the type of exodeviation and include non-surgical approaches like optical treatment and orthoptic exercises or surgical approaches like lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection.
The AC/A ratio measures the amount of accommodative convergence induced per diopter of accommodation. It can be calculated using phorias at distance and near or measured using the gradient method. A normal AC/A ratio is 4:1 with a range of 2-6:1. An elevated or reduced AC/A ratio can indicate different binocular vision dysfunctions and influence treatment decisions.
This document describes the Worth four-dot test procedure used to differentiate between binocular single vision (BSV), alternating or harmonious anomalous retinal correspondence (ARC), and various types of suppression. The test involves having the patient view four lights - one red, two green, and one white - through differently colored lenses placed in front of each eye. The number and color of lights seen by the patient can indicate whether they have BSV, ARC, or left, right, alternating, or diplopia suppression. The results must be interpreted in the context of any manifest strabismus present at the time of testing.
This document discusses pediatric refraction and various techniques used for refracting children. Pediatric refraction is different from adult refraction due to active accommodation in children. Cycloplegic refraction is preferable to paralyze accommodation. Different techniques are used based on the age of the child, including near retinoscopy, dynamic retinoscopy, and book retinoscopy. Cycloplegics help obtain an accurate refraction by paralyzing accommodation.
This document discusses low vision and provides definitions, classifications, common causes, and management strategies.
[1] Low vision is defined as visual impairment even after treatment that results in visual acuity worse than 6/18 but ability to use vision. It can be caused by conditions like macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, cataract, and glaucoma.
[2] Low vision affects people's ability to perform visual tasks and can cause blurry or decreased vision, loss of peripheral vision, and light sensitivity. Evaluation involves assessing vision and goals, while management includes low vision devices and counseling.

Under Correction of Myopia
Amblyopia is a condition of reduced vision in one or both eyes that is not caused by structural eye problems. It occurs during early childhood development when there is inadequate visual stimulation to one or both eyes. Common causes include strabismus, significant refractive error differences between the eyes, form deprivation, and abnormal binocular interaction. Treatment involves correcting any refractive errors and using occlusion therapy or drugs to blur vision in the non-amblyopic eye, forcing use of the amblyopic eye. Occlusion therapy is the most common treatment but requires compliance to achieve results. Other options include penalization, visual stimulation, and drugs, but occlusion remains the standard first approach. Success depends on early diagnosis and treatment before age 7.
Ill-sustained accommodation
WHAT?
-AKA accommodative fatigue
-Amplitude of accommodation is initially normal, but deteriorates over time after prolong focusing at near task.
-Sub-classification of accommodative insufficiency.
-An early stage of accommodative insuffciency.
CLINICAL SIGNS:
-Hard on any clinical tests that require stimulation of accommodation (hard on minus lens) and deteriorates AA over time.
MANAGEMENT:
1. Correction
2. Added plus lenses
3. Visual therapy
The document defines and describes various types of strabismus including tropia, phoria, comitant and incomitant deviations. It outlines the assessment of strabismus including taking a patient history, testing visual acuity, and performing an examination of motor and sensory status. The examination involves evaluating ocular alignment using tests such as cover testing, evaluating eye movements and fusion, and identifying suppression or abnormal retinal correspondence.
This document provides an overview of myopia, including its definition, classification, etiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment. It defines myopia as a refractive error where parallel rays come to focus in front of the retina. Myopia is classified into congenital, simple/developmental, pathological and acquired types. Causes include excessive axial length growth and changes in corneal or lenticular curvature. Clinical examination includes visual acuity testing and fundus examination. Treatment involves optical correction with glasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery depending on the degree of myopia.
This document discusses several common complications that can arise from contact lens wear, including dry eye, papillary conjunctivitis, corneal abrasion, corneal hypoxia/edema, neovascularization, keratitis, and corneal ulcer. Dry eye is the most common problem and results from a lack of sufficient lubrication and moisture on the eye surface. Papillary conjunctivitis appears as localized swelling or papillae on the tarsal conjunctiva. Corneal abrasion is a scratch or staining on the cornea surface caused by a poorly fitted lens or lens deposits. Prolonged lens wear can lead to corneal hypoxia/edema from oxygen deprivation. Neovascularization is the growth of new blood
This document discusses the use of bandage contact lenses after refractive surgery procedures like LASIK and PRK. It describes how bandage contact lenses can help reduce pain, promote healing of the epithelium, and prevent complications like striae or epithelial in-growth after surgery. Different types of bandage contact lens materials are reviewed, including hydrogels, silicone hydrogels, collagen shields, and scleral lenses. Factors like oxygen transmissibility, diameter, and disposable versus reusable lenses are discussed when selecting a bandage contact lens. Potential complications are also mentioned.
1. Binocular balancing ensures equal accommodation relaxation in both eyes during subjective refraction. It does not aim to equalize visual acuity between eyes.
2. There are several techniques for binocular balancing, including successive alternate occlusion, vertical prism dissociation, fogging/Humphiss test, polarized filters, and the septum technique. These techniques add plus lenses until the patient reports equal blurriness between eyes.
3. The vertical prism dissociation technique uses prisms to displace one eye's image vertically while fogging is used, and plus lenses are added until equal blur is reported. The polarized technique uses polarizing filters to partially separate the images while the sept
The term ‘‘aniseikonia” comes from the Greek words ‘‘an” (not) ‘‘is” (equal) & ‘‘eikon” (icon or image) so aniseikonia is a binocular condition in which the apparent sizes of the images seen with the two eyes are unequal.
Whenever refractive ametropias in the two eyes of a person are different (i.e., when there is an anisometropia), the corrected retinal images of the two eyes, and consequently the two visual images, differ in size.
This condition has been termed aniseikonia
Optical aniseikonia
Retinal aniseikonia
Cortical aniseikonia
- Toric soft contact lenses are used to correct astigmatism by containing a cylindrical component that standard soft lenses do not have. They maintain the correct orientation in the eye to provide clear vision.
- Toric lenses are fitted using a trial lens method where the patient wears diagnostic lenses to determine the proper prescription accounting for any rotation. The final prescription is adjusted based on the measured rotation of the trial lens.
- A proper fitting toric lens will have full corneal coverage, good centration, stable orientation, and comfortable vision. Care involves using multipurpose solutions and proper insertion/removal to avoid damage.
This document discusses aphakia and pseudophakia. It defines aphakia as the absence of the eye's natural lens, which can be congenital or due to trauma or surgery. It describes how aphakia affects the eye's optics and visual acuity. Treatment options for aphakia include spectacles, contact lenses, intraocular lens implantation, and refractive corneal surgery. Pseudophakia refers to the condition after an intraocular lens is implanted to correct aphakia. The document outlines the signs and management of pseudophakia.

This document discusses myopia (nearsightedness), including its optics, etiological classifications, clinical varieties, and treatment options. Myopia occurs when light rays focus in front of the retina rather than directly on it. It can be axial, curvatural, or positional. Treatment includes optical correction with glasses or contacts, as well as refractive surgeries like LASIK, PRK, clear lens extraction, phakic IOL implantation, intracorneal ring segments, and orthokeratology. More advanced techniques like LASIK and ICLs can correct higher degrees of myopia over -12 diopters.
Correction of Ametropia is very basic topic in Optometry background. Hope the SlideShare may help you. This PPT will help Bachelor students (B.optoms).
Aphakia is the absence of the eye's natural lens. It is usually caused by surgical removal of the lens during cataract surgery. Symptoms include diminished vision and sensitivity to light. Signs include an operative scar and a deep, black-colored pupil. Aphakia results in high hyperopia and loss of accommodation. It is typically corrected with secondary intraocular lens implantation, spectacles, or contact lenses to restore vision. Uncorrected aphakia can lead to issues like diplopia due to the enlarged retinal images.
The document discusses the pathophysiology, classification, and management of amblyopia, noting that it is a decreased vision in an otherwise normal eye due to visual deprivation or abnormal binocular interaction during visual development. It describes the different types of amblyopia including strabismic, anisometric, and form vision deprivation and recommends early detection and treatment with refractive correction, occlusion or penalization of the better eye, and visual stimulation activities to improve vision in the amblyopic eye. Prognosis is best for strabismic amblyopia and when treatment begins at a younger age.
This document discusses the optical system of the eye and various types of refractive errors. It begins by explaining how the cornea and lens are responsible for most of the eye's refractive power. It then discusses schematic eyes and different types of ametropia including myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism. The document provides details on causes, symptoms, signs, and treatment options for each refractive error.
This document provides information about myopia (nearsightedness), including its definition, causes, types, classifications, signs and symptoms, and treatment options. It discusses the different mechanisms that can cause myopia, including excessive axial length growth. It classifies myopia based on clinical features, degree, and age of onset. Treatment options covered include optical correction with glasses or contact lenses, as well as surgical procedures like LASIK, PRK, phakic IOL implantation, and corneal ring segments.

STUDIES IN SUPPORT OF SPECIAL POPULATIONS: GERIATRICS E7shruti jagirdar
Unit 4: MRA 103T Regulatory affairs
This guideline is directed principally toward new Molecular Entities that are
likely to have significant use in the elderly, either because the disease intended
to be treated is characteristically a disease of aging ( e.g., Alzheimer's disease) or
because the population to be treated is known to include substantial numbers of
geriatric patients (e.g., hypertension).
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

chemistry investigatory project
The development of nanogold-based cancer therapy could revolutionize oncology by providing a more targeted, less invasive treatment option. This project contributes to the growing body of research aimed at harnessing nanotechnology for medical applications, paving the way for future clinical trials and potential commercial applications.
Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, prompting the need for innovative treatment methods. Nanotechnology offers promising new approaches, including the use of gold nanoparticles (nanogold) for targeted cancer therapy. Nanogold particles possess unique physical and chemical properties that make them suitable for drug delivery, imaging, and photothermal therapy.
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
3. Aphakia literally means absence of
crystalline lens.
Optical point of view it is a condition in
which the lens is absent from the
pupillary area.
Aphakia produces high degree of
hyperopia.
4. causes:
Congenital absence of lens
Surgical aphakia
Trauma
1. aphakia due to absorption of len
matter
2. traumatic extrusion
3. posterior dislocation lens in
vitreous
5. Optics of aphakia
the total power of the eye is reduced to
about +44D from +60D.
Image formation in aphakia is magnified
with spectacles(33%), CL (10%), ACIOL (2-
5%) PCIOL(0%).
VA in spects corrected aphakia is falsified
due to large image size.
6. Continuation….
Total loss of accommodation due to
absence of lens.
Binocular optical defects like
anisometropia and aniseikonia are
harmful to the development of normal
binocular functions.
7. CLINICAL FEATURES
Symptoms:
The only symptom is defective vision for
near and far.
Signs:
Limbal scar may be seen in surgical
aphakia
AC is deeper than normal
Iridodonesis
Jet black pupil
8. CONTI…
Only two purkinjes images are seen in
aphakia.
Slit lamp examination clarify absence of
lens from patellar fossa
Hypermetropic small disc seen in fundus
Retinoscopy reveals high hypermetropia.
9. TREATMENT OF APHAKIA
Optical principle::
To correct the error by convex lenses of
appropriate power, so that the image is
formed on the retina.
10. MODALITIES OF CORRECTING APHAKIA
1. Spectacles
spectacle prescription is the most
common method of correcting
aphakia.(roughly +10).
Cylindrical lenses also prescribed for
surgical induced astigmatism.
An addition of +3 to+4.00D is required for
near vn to compensate for the loss of
accommodation.
11. ADVANTAGES OF SPECTS IN APHAKIA
Spects are cheap, easy and safe method
of correcting aphakia.
DISADVANTAGES OF SPECTS
Image magnification
Spherical aberrations
Prismatic aberrations
Resticted field of vision
Decreased quality of colour vision
Cosmetic blemish.
12. CONTACT LENSES FOR APHAKICS
Advantages:
Less magnification of image
Elimination of aberrations and prismatic
effects
Wider and better field of vision
Cosmetically more acceptible
Better suited for uniocular aphakia
13. DISADVANTAGES OF CLS IN APHAKIA:
More cost
Difficult to wear, especially in old age and
childhood.
May be associated corneal complications.
