-Discuss the indications for gonioscopic assessment of a patients' anterior
chamber angle. Describe the structures you will see if the angle is open.
(Open to closed) - -increased IOPs, CAG symptoms, retinal vein/artery
occlusions, pseudoexfoliation/PDS, pxs with glaucoma, anterior uveitis pxs
with inc. IOPs, before dilation if van herick < grade 2

Fixation losses <20%
False positives <33%
False negatives < 33%
Glaucoma hemifield test, total deviation, pattern deviation type of loss
present- paracentral, arcuate, nasal step, generalised depression, temporal
wedge

-Define stereopsis. How would you measure stereopsis? What are normal
values? - -the perception of depth produced by the reception in the brain of

TNO dependent on age

then one eye is supressed i.e eye with red filter should see green dots, eye
with green filter shot see red dot/ if unavailable can use mallet unit-
polarisation filter means one eye sees 12 and 3 o'clock lines, one eye sees 6
and 9 o'clock lines. If one eye is suppressed only 2 of the four lines will be
visible.
-Dry eye is a common disorder of the tear film caused by tear deficiency or
excessive tear evaporation. What are the major causes of dry eye and how
should dry eye be assessed? - -Causes of dry eye are related to:
• poor tear quality; i.e deficient lipid layer (MGD dysfunction- cause of 50%
of dry eye), deficient mucous layer (e.g stevens-johnson syndrome which
effects goblet cells)
