Specific Exam Mail
Presbyopia
Ans: visual loss in middle and older ages characterized by inability to focus
properly and blurred images, due to loss of accommodation, elasticity of
lens.
Cataracts
Ans: Opacity, clouding of lens due to changes in lens proteins; results in
gradual loss of vision central first, then peripheral; increased problem with
glare.
Glaucoma
Ans: increased intraocular pressure with degenerative optic disc, atrophy of
optic nerve (tunnel vision)
Macular Degeneration
Ans: loss of central vision associated with age related degeneration of the
macula. sensitivity to light.
CVA homonymous hemianopsia
Ans: loss of half visual field in each eye (nasal half of one eye and temporal
half of other) produces an inability to recieve information from right or left
side; corresponds to side of sensorimotor deficit.
