Cambios En El Lag De Acomodación Al Emplear Estímulos Visuales De Diferentes Tamaños, Alejandro León Álvarez, Jorge Mario Estrada Álvarez, Lina Marcela Ortiz, Gloria Alexandra García 2010 Fundación Universitaria del Área Andina

Cambios En El Lag De Acomodación Al Emplear Estímulos Visuales De Diferentes Tamaños, Alejandro León Álvarez, Jorge Mario Estrada Álvarez, Lina Marcela Ortiz, Gloria Alexandra García

Ciencia y Tecnología para la Salud Visual y Ocular

La medición de la respuesta acomodativa (LAG de acomodación) tiene gran importancia clínica, puesto que ayuda en el diagnóstico de las disfunciones del sistema de vergencias y acomodativas. Sin embargo, en la forma como es evaluado clínicamente no se ha estandarizado cuál debe ser el tamaño del objeto que se observa. Objetivo: determinar los cambios en el LAG de acomodación con estímulos de diferentes tamaños. Metodología: se realizó un estudio cuasiexperimental con 134 personas (269 ojos), seleccionadas según el cumplimiento de criterios de inclusión y exclusión, que fueron expuestas a diferentes tamaños de estímulos acomodativos para determinar cambios en la …


Comparación Experimental Entre El Mínimo Separable Y El Mínimo Legible De Snellen, Gabriel Merchán de Mendoza 2010 Fundación Universitaria del Área Andina

Comparación Experimental Entre El Mínimo Separable Y El Mínimo Legible De Snellen, Gabriel Merchán De Mendoza

Ciencia y Tecnología para la Salud Visual y Ocular

Los optotipos de Snellen, comúnmente usados para determinar la agudeza visual en la consulta ordinaria de optometría, son así mismo utilizados para evaluar los resultados de las diferentes cirugías refractivas. Si bien en el primer caso son adecuados, es posible que no lo sean tanto para el segundo, por lo cual conviene ir a los fundamentos en que se basan los diseños de Snellen como son el mínimo separable y el mínimo legible. Objetivo: establecer una comparación entre el mínimo separable y el mínimo legible en una población de personas con problemas indeterminados de la visión de grado bajo o …

Objetivo: determinar los cambios en el tiempo de recobro al fotoestrés mediante el test de deslumbramiento en pacientes diabéticos tipo II, con más de cinco años de diagnóstico y pacientes sanos. Metodología: se examinaron 100 pacientes, divididos en dos grupos, cada uno de 50 sujetos: uno de pacientes diabéticos tipo II y el otro de sanos. Se realizaron test de glucometría, toma de agudeza visual, oftalmoscopía y test de deslumbramiento, previa estandarización de las pruebas se recolectó la información en ópticas y brigadas de salud en la ciudad de Bogotá. Resultados: el tiempo promedio de recuperación al fotoestrés en pacientes …


Estrabismos Convergentes Y Divergentes En Niños, Luisa Fernanda Figueroa O., Yolanda López Aguirre 2010 Universidad de La Salle, Bogotá

Estrabismos Convergentes Y Divergentes En Niños, Luisa Fernanda Figueroa O., Yolanda López Aguirre

Ciencia y Tecnología para la Salud Visual y Ocular

En la valoración visual del paciente pediátrico es indispensable determinar el alineamiento ocular, para poder así descartar estrabismos que generan además de ambliopía, pérdida de la visión binocular. La endotropia se considera como el tipo más frecuente de estrabismo en los niños, responsable de más del 50% de las desviaciones, cuyo manejo puede ser quirúrgico o con prescripción óptica de acuerdo a su origen. Las exodesviaciónes son poco frecuentes antes de los 6 meses, generalmente inician de manera intermitente y se vuelven constantes, están asociadas a insuficiencia de convergencia y correspondencia sensorial anómala; dependiendo de su magnitud y permanencia se …


Near-Vision Acuity Levels And Performance On Neuropsychological Assessments Used In Occupational Therapy, Carl Bassi, Linda Hunt 2010 University of Missouri-St. Louis

Near-Vision Acuity Levels And Performance On Neuropsychological Assessments Used In Occupational Therapy, Carl Bassi, Linda Hunt

College of Optometry Faculty Works

We investigated how induced blur affects performance on the Trail Making Test and Digit Symbol Test routinely used in occupational therapy cognitive evaluations. The study used a factorial design with both age (young and old adults) and simulated blur levels of near visual acuity (20/50 and 20/100) manipulated between participants. A sample of 124 healthy, community-living adults was used in the final analysis. Significant differences (p < .05) were found in performance for young participants between 20/50 and 20/100 blur level as well as between 20/20 and 20/100 blur level for the Digit Symbol Test. Scores for old participants decreased as a function of blur but were not significant. This study illustrates that cognitive evaluations used throughout the lifespan may require the appropriate visual acuity level to maximize performance. Occupational therapists’ understanding of client factors and their effect on performance is fundamental to the client evaluation process.


Macular Pigment And Its Contribution To Visual Performance And Experience, James Loughman, Peter Davison, John Nolan, Mukunda Akkali, Stephen Beatty 2010 Technological University Dublin

There is now a consensus, based on histological, biochemical and spectral absorption data, that the yellow colour observed at the macula lutea is a consequence of the selective accumulation of dietary xanthophylls in the central retina of the living eye. Scientifi c research continues to explore the function(s) of MP in the human retina, with two main hypotheses premised on its putative capacity to (1) protect the retina from (photo)-oxidative damage by means of its optical fi ltration and/or antioxidant properties, the so-called protective hypothesis and (2) infl uence the quality of visual performance by means of selective short wavelength …

Overexpression Of Garp2 Increases Phototransduction Gain., Shanta Sarfare 2010 University of Alabama at Birmingham

Overexpression Of Garp2 Increases Phototransduction Gain., Shanta Sarfare

The cGMP-gated cation channel (CNG) in the rod photoreceptors is an essential component of phototransduction, and may have a role in maintaining structural integrity of the rod outer segment (ROS). The ß-subunit of the CNG channel (CNGB1) in the rod photoreceptors is comprised of an N-terminal glutamic acid-rich region (GARP') and a C-terminal channel-like region. Additionally, two soluble proteins GARP1 and GARP2 are alternatively spliced from the CNGB1 gene. Although GARPs are known to interact with other proteins in the rod photoreceptors, their role is currently unknown. To determine the role of GARP2 in the rod photoreceptors, we generated transgenic …


Exploration Of The Crosslinks Between Saccadic And Vergence Eye Movement Pathways Using Motor And Visual Perturbations, Kevin Paul Schultz 2010 University of Alabama at Birmingham

Exploration Of The Crosslinks Between Saccadic And Vergence Eye Movement Pathways Using Motor And Visual Perturbations, Kevin Paul Schultz

Disconjugate movements of the two eyes can either be the result of unequal left-eye and right-eye commands or the sum of binocular conjugate and vergence commands, which symmetrically affect the two eyes in equal and opposite directions, respectively. Of particular relevance is the nature of the intra-saccadic vergence acceleration observed during combined vergence-saccade responses. This effect may be the result of asymmetric left-eye and right-eye saccades or a saccadic-driven acceleration of the vergence signal. The latter is consistent with the OPN Multiply model, in which the saccadic pause of the omnipause neurons (OPNs) elicits the vergence enhancement. We verified, in …


Response Dynamics Of Retinal Ganglion And Early Visual Cortical Cells To Simulated Optical Blur, Michael Lance Risner 2010 University of Alabama at Birmingham

Response Dynamics Of Retinal Ganglion And Early Visual Cortical Cells To Simulated Optical Blur, Michael Lance Risner

All ETDs from UAB

Visual neurons are highly sensitive to changes in luminance around the mean level of light. The effects of changes in luminance contrast on the responses of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and V1 neurons have been extensively studied. Sharp transitions in luminance signify edges, which are key features in the visual environment. However, edges are rarely sharp and may be blurred. Edges are generally blurred because eyes have a restricted depth of field, sources of light are rarely point sources, edges are typically smooth, and rapid motion induces blur. The purpose of this research was to understand how RGCs and V1 …
