| Summary: | Retinoscopy : minus cylinder technique (c1986): Covers the basic steps of retinoscopy, beginning with a brief description of various retinoscopes and their proper usage. Computer graphics then help illustrate the far point concept of retinoscopy. Real-life video recordings with voice-over explanation demonstrate neutralization technique for both spherical and astigmatic model eyes and human subjects. Also included is a clinical demonstration of the basic steps of retinoscopy using a phoropter, and the use of hand-held lenses, retinoscopy racks, and over-refraction technique. Retinoscopy : plus cylinder technique (c1986): Describes various retinoscopes and their proper usage. Illustrates the far point concept of retinoscopy. Demonstrates the neutralization technique for spherical and astigmatic model eyes and human subjects. Includes a clinical demonstration of retinoscopy using a phoropter, and the use of hand-held lenses, retinoscopy racks, and over-refraction techniques. Shows actual recordings of problem reflexes such as scissors movement, spherical aberration, keratoconus reflexes, and accommodation/fixation changes. Subjective refraction : cross-cylinder technique (c1987): Step-by-step subjective techniques in clinical refraction, from the initial taking of visual acuity to determination of the reading add, are explained and demonstrated. Computer graphics illustrate the basics of astigmatism and the cross-cylinder testing. Then, as each refraction step is demonstrated, the progressive improvement of visual acuity is shown from the patient's point of view. |
