At what gestational age is the pupillary light reflex normally present?

31 weeks

100

How do you treat partially accommodative esotropia?

Give full cycloplegic refraction. Surgically correct any residual ET after CRX

100

Which nystagmus is associated with Chiari malformation? Craniopharyngioma?

Chiari: Periodic Alternating (think "1 or 2, 1 or 2?")

Craniopharyngioma: See-saw (imagine pivot point in center of brain)

100

How many prism diopters of deviation, roughly?

60 PD

100

Describe the Bruckner Test

Comparing red reflex and corneal light reflex between eyes using direct ophthalmoscope

200

What is the difference between Sherrington's and Herring's Law?

Sherrington's: When an agonist muscle contracts, it’s antagonist muscle relaxes

Herrings: Yoke eye muscles receive similar innervation when making conjugate change in eye position

200

What is the difference between sagging eye and heavy eye syndrome? What deviation do they cause?

Sagging eye: age

Heavy eye: myopia

Dehiscence between LR/SR => esotropia

200

What is the difference between a saccadic oscillation and saccadic intrusion?

Oscillation:

Intrusion:

200

Draw out which divisions of CN3 supply which EOMs

Upper: SR, Levator

Lower: MR, IR, IO

200

Describe the difference between Hirschberg and Krimsky tests

Hirschberg: corneal light reflex to assess strabismus

Krimsky: Hirschberg + prisms

300

List the four types of congenital anomalies and provide an ocular example for each

Agenesis: anophthalmia

Hypoplasia: ON hypoplasia

Hyperplasia: distichiasis

Dysraphism: coloboma, NLDO, PFV

300

Name 3 causes of incomitant esotropia

CN6 palsy

Slipped muscle

Heavy Eye Syndrome

Congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders (Duane)

Implants/post-surgical (scleral buckle, tube shunts)

EOM restriction

TED

Orbital wall fractures

300
What is Alexander's Law?

Nystagmus increases in intensity as eyes are moved in direction of the fast phase

300
If a red maddox rod is placed over the right eye in a patient with an exotropia, draw what the patient will see

300

What condition does an AC/A ratio of 1:1 suggest?

Convergence insufficiency (normal is 3:1-5:1)

400

What is the primary, secondary, and tertiary action of superior oblique?

Intorsion, Depression, Abduction

400

An X(T) kid has a +2.00 D hyperopia. Should you correct it?

No (can worsen XT)

Correct if > +4.00 D, or if myopic

400

If you see opsoclonus, name 2 associations with this condition.

1. Paraneoplastic (neuroblastoma, SCLC, breast/ovarian)

2. Acute cerebellar ataxia

3. Post-viral

4. Post-encephalitis

400

In a Worth 4 Dot test, if red lens is over the right eye and green over the left, draw out what a patient with monofixation syndrome in the left eye will see

Far:


Near:


400

How does a positive angle kappa affect Hirschberg testing? Cover testing?

Hirschberg: simulates exotropia

Cover: no change

500

When and where does retinal vascularization begin and at what age is it complete?

16 weeks of gestational age at optic nerve head, reaches temporal ora by 40 weeks

500

What is central fusion disruption?

Loss of fusional abilities despite visual restoration, when sensory XT has been present for a long time before surgery

500

What are the 2 goals of nystagmus treatment, and give 2 treatments for each goal

1. Decrease intensity (BO prism; large recession of MR/LR OU)

2. Improve head position (Prisms to shift null point; Kestenbaum-Anderson)

500

Draw out what the patient would see if the right eye had extorsion. Intorsion? 

500

Describe the 3-step Parks-Bielschowsky Test

Step 1: Determine which eye is higher via cover testing

Step 2: Identify the gaze (ie, right vs left) in which the deviation gets worse

Step 3: Tilt the head toward each shoulder, and see which direction worsens the deviation
