A change in the relative magnification at the fixation point of the two eyes will result in which of the following changes?
- A.
No change on the y-intercept
- B.
Tilting of the horopter
- C.
A negative slope value
- D.
A increase in the abathic distance
Correct Answer
B. Tilting of the horopterExplanation
A change in the relative magnification at the fixation point of the two eyes can result in the tilting of the horopter. The horopter is the imaginary surface in space where objects appear single when fixated upon. When there is a change in the relative magnification, it can cause a misalignment in the images seen by each eye, leading to a tilt in the horopter. This means that the perceived location of objects in space may be distorted, causing a shift in the alignment of the horopter.Rate this question:

What are the TWO assumptions that the theoretical horopter is based on?
- A.
Eyes are non-strabismic
- B.
Eyes are spherical
- C.
The corresponding retinal points are symmetrically distributed across the retina in each eye
- D.
A fixed distance is assumed to establish the horopter
Correct Answer(s)
B. Eyes are spHerical
C. The corresponding retinal points are symmetrically distributed across the retina in each eyeExplanation
The theoretical horopter is based on the assumptions that eyes are spherical and that the corresponding retinal points are symmetrically distributed across the retina in each eye. These assumptions are important because they help in determining the point of fixation and the binocular disparity, which is necessary for depth perception. The spherical shape of the eyes ensures that the light rays converge at the fovea, while the symmetric distribution of retinal points allows for the fusion of the two retinal images. These assumptions also help in establishing a fixed distance for the horopter, as they provide a consistent reference point for the visual system.Rate this question:

You are performing test with a patient and measuring their horopter. You move the LEFT horopter rod closer to the left side of the subject. Which of the following statements is then TRUE?
- A.
It will not change either the right or left external longitudinal angle (alpha 1 or alpha 2)
- B.
The angular distance b/t the fixation point and the horopter point (P prime) is decreased as compared to the angle b/t the fixation point and the original horopter point P
- C.
Moving the horopter rod closer to the subject in the left visual field (from P to P prime) does NOT change the external longitudinal angle alpha 1.
- D.
The shape of the Vieth-muller circle changed shape
Correct Answer
C. Moving the horopter rod closer to the subject in the left visual field (from P to P prime) does NOT change the external longitudinal angle alpHa 1.Explanation
Option 4 is false b/c the VM circle changes shape at each fixation distance. In this case we only changed the position of the rod not the fixation distance.

Select the statement that is false with regard to the 5 different horopter criteria
- A.
The identical visual direction horopter is the the purest measure but difficult to perform
- B.
Singleness takes advantage of Panum's area. The horopter points will lie in the middle of the region of single vision. This a more theoretical method and not done often according to Dr. Borsting
- C.
The appatent frontoparallel plane horopter is the most difficult to measure and often requires expensive equipment
- D.
Zero vergence consists of points in space seen as equidistant wil not stimulate motor fusion. This is a strictly objective measure.
- E.
Minimum Steroacuity Threshold test the region where you have maximum stereoacuity. You would look at the patient's ability to detect changes in depth as they fixate on a rod and the rod moves.
Correct Answer
C. The appatent frontoparallel plane horopter is the most difficult to measure and often requires expensive equipmentExplanation
Option 3 - is false. Method can be done with pencils. The locations perceived as lying in the same distance from the subject as the fixation point. This is the EASIEST to measure

If you have oblique magnification occuring in the 45 degree in the OS and magnification in the 135 degree in the OD, what will the upper part of the image look like?
- A.
The upper part of the image looks closer and smaller
- B.
The upper part of the image looks farther away and larger
- C.
The upper part of the image looks farther away and smaller
- D.
The upper part of the image looks closer and larger
Correct Answer
B. The upper part of the image looks farther away and largerExplanation
When oblique magnification occurs at a 45-degree angle in the OS (left eye) and magnification occurs at a 135-degree angle in the OD (right eye), the upper part of the image will appear farther away and larger. This means that objects in the upper part of the image will appear to be at a greater distance from the viewer and will also appear larger in size.Rate this question:

Experiments were performed on college students to study the adaptation to size lenses. Which of the statements is false with regards to those experiments?
- A.
Students perceptual adaptation occurred around 4 days
- B.
Corresponding points recalibrate
- C.
Monocular cues to depth start to predominate over stereo cues
- D.
Very little adaptation seen on the horopter or Eikonometer
Correct Answer
B. Corresponding points recalibrateExplanation
In the experiments conducted on college students to study adaptation to size lenses, one false statement is that "corresponding points recalibrate." This means that the corresponding points, which are specific points in the left and right eyes that receive similar visual information, do not recalibrate or adjust during the adaptation process. This suggests that the adaptation to size lenses does not affect the alignment or coordination of these corresponding points in the students' eyes.Rate this question:

The Maddox Rod Test does not require special instruments, and requires size lenses to neutralize differences
- C.
The New Anisekonia Test (NAT) is an indirect comparison test and typically underestimates the amount of anisekonia
- D.
The Aniseikonia inspector is a direct comparison test and underestimates anisekonia particularly in the horizontal meridian. It also has poor reliability
Correct Answer
C. The New Anisekonia Test (NAT) is an indirect comparison test and typically underestimates the amount of anisekoniaExplanation
Option 3 - it is a direct comparison test, Possible factors influencing test results: 1) methodology, 2) angle of gaze, 3) sensory fusional response that rescales the image (red-green target).Rate this question:

Change the Front surface power
- B.
Change the center thickness
- C.
Change the refractive index
- D.
Place the patient in contact lenses
- E.
Change the vertex distance
- F.
All are valid ways
Correct Answer
F. All are valid waysExplanation
All of the options listed are legitimate ways to treat aniseikonia. Aniseikonia is a condition where there is a difference in the perceived sizes of images between the two eyes, and it can be treated by adjusting the front surface power, center thickness, refractive index, vertex distance, or by placing the patient in contact lenses. Therefore, all of the options are valid ways to treat aniseikonia.Rate this question:
