The eye not being tested is patched and the room lights are dimmed prior to commencement of the test. [12] The patient is positioned appropriately and comfortably against the forehead rest and chin rest. Minor adjustments to the head position are made to centre the pupil on the display screen to allow eye monitoring throughout the test.
This visual field defect is called as bitemporal hemianopia. Anterior chiasmal syndrome, the lesions that affect the ipsilateral optic nerve fibres and the contralateral inferonasal fibres located in the Willebrand knee produce junctional scotoma, i.e., a combination of central scotoma in one eye and temporal hemianopia defect in the other eye.

The Marcus Gunn pupil is a relative afferent pupillary defect indicating a decreased pupillary response to light in the affected eye. [3] In the swinging flashlight test, a light is alternately shone into the left and right eyes. A normal response would be equal constriction of both pupils, regardless of which eye the light is directed at.
Lesions in the pathway cause a variety of visual field defects. The type of field defect can help localize where the lesion is located (see figure). A lesion in the optic nerve of one eye causes partial or complete loss of vision in the same eye, with an intact field of vision in other eye.
The pupil of the human eye can range in size from 2 mm to over 8 mm to adapt to the environment. The human eye can detect a luminance from 10 −6 cd/m 2, or one millionth (0.000001) of a candela per square meter to 10 8 cd/m 2 or one hundred million (100,000,000) candelas per square meter.
In the analysis of this form of astigmatism that occurs only in off-axis object point imaging, it is most common to consider rays from a given point on the object, which propagate in two particular planes. The first plane is the tangential plane. This is the plane including both the object point under consideration and the axis of symmetry ...
Colobomas can form in several parts of the eye. Those include, per the National Eye Institute (NEI), colobomas of the: Iris (the colored part of the eye) Uvea (layer of the eye that contains the iris)
If, in an unsharp image, a patch of light corresponds to an object point, the center of gravity of the patch may be regarded as the image point, this being the point where the plane receiving the image, e.g., a focusing screen, intersects the ray passing through the middle of the stop. This assumption is justified if a poor image on the ...
