Vision & Perception

TermDefinition
visual skills pyramid Adaptation through vision (top) Visual perception Visual memory Pattern recognition Scanning Attention, alert, attending Oculomotor control, visual fields, visual acuity (bottom)
retina vs. optic disk Where neural synapses happen Contains photoreceptors vs. Blind spot
cones vs. rods Day vision, color vision, high visual acuity, ~5 million, dense in fovea vs. Night vision, no color, low visual acuity, not in fovea, ~100 million
mesopic vision vs. color blindness Uses combo of rods & cones vs. Loss/ abnormality in genes for cone pigments
stationary night blindness vs. retinitis pigmentosa Poor night/ dim light vision due to impaired rod function vs. Progressive degeneration of retina that leads to blindness
damage to eyes can create AMD Diabetic retinopathy Galucoma Metamorphopsia
brain lesions may cause Diplopia- damage to nerve controlling eye movement Oculomotor dysfunction Visual field deficits
age related macular degeneration (AMD) Degeneration at retina-choroid interface in macula Leading cause of blindness, bilateral, 65-70yr Decreased central vision, peripheral spared Need aids & training
diabetic retinopathy Damage to blood vessels in retina Central retinal artery swells & bleed Uncontrolled blood sugar is high risk Irreversible, slowed with medical management
glaucoma Decrease peripheral vision, tunnel vision Due to intraocular pressure that damages optic nerve Irreversible Injury, infection, blockage, inflammation is risk
improving ADL functions with VI secondary to mechanical causes Understand what they see & any distress Driving safety Assess fall risk Balance training Assess important task performance Implement compensatory strategies (contrast)
tx for mechanical causes Medication- eye drops for glaucoma, monitor pressure Nutrition- for AMD Laser Surgery Compensatory techniques
binocular vision disorders vs. binocular vision disorders lead to Nystagmus Strabismus Amblyopia vs. Poor depth perception, headaches, eye strain, fatigue, clumsy
1. nystagmus 2. strabismus 3. amblyopia 1. Uncontrolled repetitive mvmnt 2. Ocular misalignment, leads to development of amblyopia 3. Poor visual acuity in one eye, lazy eye
affected eye movements vs. diplopia Convergence/ divergence, saccades, smooth pursuits vs. Convergence insufficiency, one or both eyes, horizontal;/ vertical/ diagonal. Results from ocular misalignment
tx for oculomotor impairment Identify affected ADLs Retraining of oculomotor skills- saccades, pursuits, vergence Env modifications- clutter, environment Occlusion- partial, binasal Orthoptics- prisms, vision therapy Surgical intervention
severed... 1. optic nerve 2. optic chiasm 3. optic tract 4. lateral geniculate body 5. optic radiation 1. monocular visual loss 2. bilateral hemianopia 3. contralateral homonymous hemianopia 4. contralateral superior quadrantanopia 5. contralateral inf quadrantanopia
functional deficits after visual field defect Impaired insight Affects IADLs Losing items, tripping, walking into stuff, diff functioning, reading Driving cessation
assessing visual field defects Bedside screening Low tech perimetry device (biVABA) High tech perimetry device (Humphrey & Goldman), gold standard
visual field defect intervention Dependent on insight Vision loss doesn't return Compensatory retraining in field loss Compensatory strategies- scanning, env modifications, reinforce safety
return to driving after visual field defect In AB, you are required to self report changes in health that affects ability to drive safely 120deg of cont vision along horizontal 15deg continuous vision above & below fixation Both eyes opened & examined together
low level vs. intermediate level processing Orientation, color, contrast, disparity, mvmnt direction vs. Contour integration, surface properties, shape discrimination, surface depth, surface segmentation, object motion
components of visual perception Visual discrimination Form constancy Figure/ ground Closure Memory Visual-spatial relationships Object identification Spatial skills
high level perceptual processing issues Constructional abilities Visual agnosia- can't recognize visual objects Hemi inattention
constructional ability Needs right-left discrimination, visual discrimination, image rotation, visual memory, visual closure, form constancy, visual-motor integration, spatial relations 2D & 3D IADL considerations
apperceptive agnosia vs. associative agnosia Difficulty perceiving object as whole but can identify it vs. Can perceive object but can't identify what the object is
prosopagnosia vs. alexia Unable to recognize & identify familiar faces Unable to interpret facial expressions Occurs in fusiform face area vs. Inability to read
1. simultanagnosia 2. dyscalculia 3. dysgraphia 1. Unable to recognize/ interpret visual scene as whole 2. Difficulty recognizing numbers & perform basic math tasks 3. Difficulty writing letters and words
assessment of agnosia Use normal env to screen for basic visual perceptual deficits (use blank wall) Functional observation of functional tasks Components of standardized & informal ax
tx for agnosia Remediation Functional skills training Compensation/ adaptive
remediation for agnosia vs. functional skills training for agnosia Reps Computer programs Limited evidence, poor generalization vs. Naming, locating, identify objects Incorporate into daily routines
compensation/ adaptive for agnosia Environmental adaptations Use multi-senses Fixed location for frequently used objects
hemi spatial neglect Failure to detect & respond to stimuli presented to side opposite to brain lesion Mostly in right hemisphere damage (MCA stroke) Can be combined with visual field deficit
personal neglect vs. peripersonal neglect Lack of awareness of side of body opposite to site of lesion. Can be visual, auditory, tactile vs. Lack of awareness for side opposite the lesion but within arms length
extrapersonal neglect Lack of awareness for environment outside of personal space that's opposite of lesion
allocentric vs. egocentric neglect Lack of attention to contralateral side of object. See only half of object vs. Lack of attention to contralateral space compared to own midline. Don't see half of stuff in space.
left hemisphere vs. right hemisphere Knows & attends to right body & personal space vs. Knows & attends to right & left body & personal space
hemispatial neglect ax Assess the bottom of pyramid first Assess ADLs & functional tasks How pt starts & carries out visual scanning to complete a task that needs visual search
types of hemispatial neglect ax Apples test- allocentric & egocentric neglect LOTCA Cognistat BIT RPAB Reading ax
hemispatial neglect intervention Specific task practice Teach to reorganize scanning pattern Attention training Activities to reinforce systematic & organized visual search Dynavision
prisms Adaptation improves left neglect by encouraging compensation through contribution of left, undamaged hemisphere
body schema disorders Know position of parts of body & spatial relationships between them Integrate vision, proprioception, tactile, pressure sensation Due to damaged parietal lobe, somatosensory integration
pusher syndrome Incorrect perception of vertical midline Loss of sensation from affected side Left spatial neglect possibly Lean/ active pushing to hemiplegic side
body scheme ax Observational (drawing) & standardized (RPAB) ax
body scheme tx Remedial approach often used Reinforce body knowledge Tactile & proprioceptive stimulation Incorporate affected limbs into occupational performance

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
