Causes of low vision in adult
The document discusses the major causes of low vision in adults, including age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, multiple sclerosis, myopic degeneration, retinal detachment, and glaucoma. For each condition, it describes how visual acuity and visual fields are typically affected and recommends approaches to low vision management such as magnification, filters, prisms, lighting aids, and mobility training. Overall, the document provides an overview of the leading causes and treatment considerations for low vision in the adult population.
VISUALACUITY CHARTS
Visual acuity charts and tests are used to measure the visual acuity or clarity of vision of the eyes. There are two main types of charts - distance vision charts and near vision charts. Common distance vision tests include the Snellen chart, Landolt C chart, and LogMAR chart. The Snellen chart uses letters of decreasing size arranged at a standard test distance of 6 meters or 20 feet to measure visual acuity denoted in fractions like 6/6 or 20/20. Near vision tests include the Jaeger chart which uses printed text of decreasing font size. Visual acuity can be measured for different age groups using specialized pediatric tests that do not require reading letters like preferential looking tests.
Schematic & Reduced Eye.pptx
The document describes the optical properties of the human eye. It compares the eye to a camera and describes the key optical elements like the cornea, lens, iris, and retina. It discusses the compound optical system of the eye and provides data on refractive indices and radii of curvature from Gullstrand's schematic eye model. It also describes reduced eye models proposed by Listing and Donders that simplify the eye's optics using single refractive surfaces and focal points.
Accommodation
Accommodation is the process by which the eye focuses on near objects. It occurs through changes in the shape and thickness of the elastic lens, induced by contraction of the ciliary muscle. The amplitude of accommodation is the difference between the near point and far point, measured in diopters. Accommodative ability peaks at around 10 years old and gradually declines with age. Presbyopia is the age-related loss of accommodation, causing difficulty with near vision. Other anomalies include insufficiency, spasm, paralysis and excessive accommodation, which can be caused by factors like refractive error, drugs, trauma or ocular disease. Assessment of accommodation involves measuring the near point, amplitude and facility of accommodation using tools like lenses, rulers and
Eye diseases
Eye disease is an impairment or abnormal functioning of the eye that affects vision and can cause blindness. Some common eye diseases include cataracts, glaucoma, trachoma, and retinal disorders. Cataracts cause cloudiness of the lens that impairs vision. Glaucoma permanently damages vision through increased intraocular pressure. Trachoma is an infectious disease caused by bacteria that roughens the inner eyelids. Retinal disorders affect the retina and can damage central vision. Treatments depend on the disease but may include surgery, eye drops, laser treatment, or antibiotics to prevent further vision loss or blindness.
BEST PPT ON VISUAL ACUITY
Visual acuity is a measure of the clarity of vision and the ability to resolve fine details. It is commonly measured using an eye chart with letters or symbols of decreasing size. A Snellen fraction compares the test distance to the distance at which the smallest letters can be identified, with 20/20 or 6/6 being normal vision. Factors that can affect visual acuity include refractive errors, pupil size, illumination, and area of the retina stimulated. Visual acuity is used clinically to assess vision and monitor treatments.

Astigmatism
Topic:- Astigmatic error
This presentation only explained about Definition, types, classification of astigmatism, It did not explained about correction.
Test types used in optometry
This document describes different visual acuity tests used for different age groups. For infants, the Optokinetic Nystagmus Drum and Lea Paddle are used, which test eye movements in response to moving black and white stripes or changing picture cards. For preschoolers, tests include the Landolt C, Tumbling E, Sheridan Gardiner, Stycar, Lea Symbol, Kay Picture, and Cardiff charts which present letters, shapes or pictures at decreasing sizes. For school-aged children and adults, the Snellen and LogMAR charts are used, with LogMAR providing more precise measurements of low vision.
Hypermetropia ppt
This document discusses hyperopia (farsightedness), which occurs when parallel rays of light focus behind the retina at rest. It defines different types of hyperopia such as physiological and pathological. Symptoms include eye strain, headaches, and blurred near vision. Diagnosis involves visual acuity tests, retinoscopy, and subjective refraction. Treatment options include convex lenses, contact lenses, and refractive surgery like LASIK. The prevalence of hyperopia changes with age, from high levels in infants to low levels in adults that may increase again in older age.
Introduction of contact lens
This document provides an overview of contact lenses, including their history, uses, types, fitting parameters, and indications/contraindications. Some key points:
- The first contact lenses were developed in the late 1800s but were uncomfortable scleral lenses. Modern soft and rigid gas permeable lenses emerged later.
- Contact lenses are used for vision correction, therapy, prevention of eye issues, diagnosis, surgery assistance, cosmetic purposes, and occupations like sports or acting.
- Lens types include soft hydrogel lenses, silicone hydrogel lenses, rigid gas permeable lenses, and the now obsolete hard PMMA lenses. Parameters like material, diameter, base curve, and thickness must be selected properly.

Astigmatism 2
This document defines and describes astigmatism. It begins by defining astigmatism as a condition where parallel rays of light entering the eye do not focus to a single point on the retina. It then discusses the optics, etiology, classification, types (including corneal, lenticular, total, regular, irregular, with-the-rule, against-the-rule, oblique), and what patients see with different types of astigmatism (simple, compound, mixed). It concludes by covering prevalence based on age, gender, ethnicity and incidence, as well as effects on visual acuity.
Tonometry
This document discusses different methods for measuring intraocular pressure (IOP), including indentation tonometry, applanation tonometry, and digital tonometry. Indentation tonometry uses a Schiotz tonometer to indent the cornea and measure pressure. Applanation tonometry is based on the Imbert-Fick law and uses a Goldmann tonometer or Perkins tonometer to flatten the cornea. Normal IOP ranges from 10-21 mm Hg but pressures outside this range could indicate glaucoma and require further investigation.
Corneal disorder
This document discusses keratitis, an infection or inflammation of the cornea caused by various microorganisms or other factors. It can involve just the cornea or both the cornea and conjunctiva. Causes include bacterial, viral, fungal infections, contact lenses, vitamin A deficiency, cosmetics. Symptoms are eye redness, pain, tearing, blurred vision, photophobia. Diagnosis involves examination with a slit lamp and corneal smears. Treatment consists of antibiotic eye drops, antiviral medications, antifungal drops, cycloplegic drops, and phototherapeutic keratectomy using laser treatment for diseased corneal tissue.
Astigmatism
This document defines astigmatism as a condition where light rays are not focused to a single point on the retina due to irregular curvature or refractive index of the cornea or lens. It classifies astigmatism based on etiology, orientation of refractive meridians, and location of focal points relative to the retina. Signs include distorted vision and headaches. Clinical tests include refraction, keratometry, and retinoscopy. Management options are spectacles, contact lenses, and refractive surgery to correct the astigmatism.
Screening
Vision screening is important to identify vision impairments in children so they can receive treatment. Screening should begin at birth and continue at well-child visits. Early screening can detect conditions like amblyopia, which is most effectively treated in early childhood. While only 21% of preschoolers receive vision screening, screening is highly cost-effective for detecting and treating amblyopia and other vision issues. Pediatricians play a key role in regularly screening children's vision as part of comprehensive well-child care.
Convergence & its anomalies
Convergence is the inward movement of the eyes to maintain single binocular vision. It can be symmetrical or asymmetrical depending on the position of the fixation point. The near point of convergence is the closest point an object can be focused on binocularly and is measured clinically. Convergence insufficiency is the most common convergence anomaly and causes eye strain. Other anomalies include convergence paralysis which is a total lack of convergence ability due to brain lesions. Convergence spasm involves intermittent periods of excessive convergence that can cause diplopia. Exercises are used to treat convergence insufficiency while prisms are used for convergence paralysis.

Refractive Errors
This document discusses the anatomy and physiology of the eye and various eye conditions. It describes the three main parts of the eye: eyeball, orbit, and accessory structures. It then discusses the layers of the eye and specific structures like the lens. Various refractive errors are defined and described like emmetropia, ametropia, myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism. Causes, types, symptoms and treatments are provided for each condition. Assessment methods for eye problems are also listed.
Cycloplegic agents & cyclorefraction
Cycloplegia is the paralysis of the ciliary muscle resulting in the loss of accommodation. Cycloplegic agents cause cycloplegia by blocking the muscarinic receptors in the eye. Cyclopentolate is commonly used for routine cycloplegic refraction in children and adults due to its fast onset and relatively short duration. Cycloplegic refraction is used to objectively determine refractive error when accommodation is paralyzed, and is indicated for young children with suspected latent hyperopia or accommodative esotropia. Cycloplegia is considered complete for refraction when a dilated pupil and no residual accommodation is detected via push-up test.
Subjective refraction
The document discusses subjective refraction techniques. It begins by outlining the aims of learning about refraction and subjective refraction techniques. It then defines refraction and discusses the difference between objective and subjective refraction. Several techniques for subjective refraction are described in detail, including Jackson Cross Cylinder, fogging method, duochrome test, Worth Four Dot Test, binocular balancing, and binocular best sphere. The document provides examples and outlines the standard procedure for performing subjective refraction.
Keratitis
This document discusses various types of microbial keratitis, including bacterial, fungal, and viral keratitis. It describes common pathogens that can cause bacterial keratitis and their characteristic clinical features. The management of bacterial keratitis involves identifying the causative organism, administering topical antibiotics, and addressing complications. Fungal keratitis requires reculturing, antifungal therapy, and sometimes keratoplasty. Viral keratitis from herpes simplex virus can cause dendritic ulcers. Corneal ectasias like keratoconus and keratoglobus are also briefly mentioned.
