This document discusses the process of subjective refraction to determine a patient's prescription. It involves 5 main steps: 1) determining the best vision sphere for each eye, 2) using a Jackson Cross Cylinder to find the cylindrical axis and power, 3) refining the results, 4) binocular balancing to account for any differences between the eyes, and 5) determining the binocular best sphere. Fogging and duochrome tests are used to achieve the best vision sphere. Near additions are also considered for presbyopic patients based on their habitual reading distance and age. Trial lens sets and phoropters are the main instruments used.

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

2. What is Refraction?
Determination of the refractive status
(prescription) of the eye.
OBJECTIVE SUBJECTIVE
Retinoscopy Subjective Refraction
3. Subjective Refraction
To determine by subjective means the
combination of spherical and cylindrical
lenses necessary to to provide best visual
acuity. (with accommodation relaxed)
4. Principles of Refraction
1. Accommodation-relaxed state
2. Maximum PLUS, minimum minus
3. Always trial frame before prescribing
4. Take into account vertex distance
especially for high prescription
individuals
5. How to ensure accommodation is relaxed?
Use PLUS lens to FOG
Ensure image is located infront of retina
This causes image / VA to become worse if
eye attempts to accommodate (Image point
becomes further away from the fovea)

9. FOGGING TO ACHIEVE BVS
Place enough PLUS lenses to FOG vision
to ~6/12 line
ROT: every line= ~0.25 DS
Slowly reduce the plus power until best VA
is obtained
Remember:
“Maximum plus power for best visual acuity”
10. USING DUOCHROME TEST TO
ACHIEVE BVS
PT TP
Based on chromatic aberration
Patient asked: “ Are LETTERS in the red darker or
LETTERS in the green darker?”
Green letters clearer = Add ‘+ 0.25DS’
Red letters clearer = Add ‘- 0.25DS’
End-point is obtained when the letters on the Red-
Green chart appears equally dark or when a reversal
occurs.

26. STEP 4 BINOCULAR BALANCING
The technique is also known as "equalising".
During the monocular refraction, a different state of
relaxation of accommodation may occur because one
eye was under test while the other was not.
Thus, binocular balancing is performed to balance
accommodation between eyes.
ALTERNATE HUMPHRISS
OCCLUSION IMMEDIATE CONTRAST
27. BB: Alternate Occlusion
Used only when VA is EQUAL in both eyes
1. Fog both eyes with + 0.75DS
2. Direct patient to view 3 lines above best VA
3. Alternately occlude each eye for ~0.5 secs each while
asking patient: “ Which eye sees clearer/sharper?”
4. Add +0.25DS to the better eye
5. Repeat step 3 and 4 until both eye’s vision is
equalised
6. Slowly reduce fog until best VA is reached
28. BB: Humphriss immediate contrast
Used when VA is EQUAL or UNEQUAL between both
eyes

32. What about for reading?
“I can see clearly at distance, but I can’t read my
newspapers!”
34. Finding the Near Addition
Step 1: Estimation from patient’s age
Age (in Years) Estimated Add (in D)
40 - 45 + 0.50 to + 1.00
46 - 50 + 1.25 to + 1.75
51 - 55 + 2.00 to + 2.50
56 - 60 + 2.50 to + 2.75
61 - 65 + 2.50 to + 2.75
66 - 70 + 2.50 to + 2.75
70 + + 2.50 and Above
35. Finding the Near Addition
Step 2: Place the estimated near addition on
top of the distance prescription
Step 3: Patients holds the near vision chart at
habitual distance. The amount of near add is
then adjusted to position the patient’s habitual
reading distance in the middle of the range of
clear vision.

42. Clinical notes for trial lens and trial
frame
Spherical lenses are usually placed first in the
trial frame, while cylindrical lenses are then
placed in the front of the spherical lenses.
When there are 2 or more spherical lenses,
the one with the strongest power should be
placed in the cell closest to the eye.
