2 things looked for during a CVF - ANS-Central field and peripheral field of each eye
Visual Field abbreviation - ANS-VF
Abbreviation for extraocular muscles - ANS-EOM
2 things being performed for checking ocular motility - ANS-9 cardinal gazes & checking
for phorias and tropias
Charge or no charge for VF - ANS-No charge; part of the comprehensive exam fee
For the CVF, starting/focusing point for testing patient's OD - ANS-Center of face
Second portion of the CVF on the OD, focusing point for patient - ANS-At your right eye
Self placement for the CVF test - ANS-- Eye level
- 3 to 4 ft close if standing, knee to knee if sitting
- Regular lighting
- No glasses
The visual field being tested when asking the patient if any part of your face is missing
or disorted - ANS-Cental/nasal field
Areas checked for peripheral field to be as accurate as possible - ANS-4
Visual field that is naturally constricted - ANS-Nasal
Focusing point for pt during the peripheral portion of the CVF test - ANS-On your open
eye
What is documented when patient cannot see fingers in the area above the eyes until
you move them down towards the eyebrow area - ANS-Superior visual field
constriction/constricted
Type of visual field defect if pt has obvious ptosis or dermatochalasis - ANS-Superior
field constriction of that eye
, Amount of muscles that control movement of the eye ball - ANS-6
2 EOMs that only have primary action - ANS-Medial and lateral rectus
Glasses on or off for the EOM test - ANS-Off
Positions of gaze checked during the EOM test - ANS-9 cardinal gazes
Test used to check for phorias - ANS-Cover cross cover test
- break fusion; "alternating" test
Focus point for pt when checking for phorias and tropias - ANS-Straight ahead
Latent deviation (not always seen) - ANS-Phorias
Manifest deviation (always there) - ANS-Tropias
Term used when pt does not have any ocular muscle deviations - ANS-EOMs intact
Normal pupil size - ANS-3mm
When to check pupils - ANS-Before dilation
- if after may hide pupil disorders
Test to break fusion for EOMs - ANS-Cover cross cover test (alternating test)
Measure the size of pupils on a new pt even if pt has no vision complaints: yes or no -
ANS-Yes
Focus point for pt during pupil exam - ANS-Far point behind you
Pupil exam done with lights on or dimmed - ANS-Dimmed
Anisocoria - ANS-Unequal pupil size
2 instruments used or light sources for the pupil check - ANS-- Penlight
- Transilluminator
What the pupil does when the pt tries to read up close - ANS-Accommodate
