    The document discusses retinoscopy, which is an objective technique to measure the refractive error of the eye. It describes different types of retinoscopes, including plane mirror, spot, and streak retinoscopes. Streak retinoscopes have advantages over spot retinoscopes as they allow easier determination of cylinder power and amount of refractive error. The document also defines far point for emmetropia, hypermetropia, and myopia.

    RETINOSCOPY

    AUTHOR: RIMI SREE DAS


    LEARNING OUTCOME OF THE TOPIC

    Students will learn and


    understand the importance
    of changing the power
    orientation and axis of a
    spectacle power.
    RETINOSCOPE

     An accurate objective measurement of the


    refractive status of an eye can be made
    using a Retinoscope.
     The technique is called Retinoscopy

     Also known as Pupilloscopy, Shadowscopy,


    Umbrascopy, Scotoscopy
     F. Cuigent is the father of retinoscope. In
    1873 the first retinoscope was described
    TYPES OF RETINOSCOPE

    Reflecting Mirror
    • Plane mirror
    Retinoscope/Simple
    • Pristly Smith Retinoscope
    Retinoscope

    Self Illuminated • Spot Retinoscope


    Retinoscope • Streak Retinoscope
    REFLECTING MIRROR/SIMPLE RETINOSCOPE

     A perforated mirror by which the beam is


    reflected in to patients eye and through a
    central hole that emergent rays entre the
    observer’s eye.
     Movement of the illuminated retinal area
    are produced by tilting a mirror, either
    plane or concave
    ADVANTAGE & DISADVANTAGE OF PLANE MIRROR

    Advantage:
     Cheaper than self illuminated

    Disadvantages:
     Requires a separate light source

     Glare from the source of light is annoying to


    the patient
     To check the axis and amount of cylinder is
    difficult
     Intensity & type of beam cannot be changed
    or controlled
    SELF ILLUMINATED RETINOSCOPE

     The light source and the mirror are incorporated in one.

     STREAK RETINOSCOPE - Light source is a linear (uncoiled) filament

    Two operating • Projection System


    system • Observation System
    PROJECTION SYSTEM

    Main purpose:
     To illuminate the Retina

     Consists of
     Light Source
     Condensing lens
     Mirror
     Focusing sleeve
     Current source
    OBSERVATION SYSTEM

     Main purpose

     To allow the observer to see the retinal


    reflex of the patient
    ADVANTAGES OF STREAK RETINOSCOPE

    • Self Illuminated (Mirror & Light


    source are incorporated in one
    Advantages • Easily manipulated and the
    intensity and the type of beam
    can be easily controlled
    ADVANTAGES OF STREAK RETINOSCOPE OVER SPOT
    RETINOSCOPE

    • Exact axis of cylinder power


    can be found easily using a
    ADVANTAGES streak retinoscope
    • In high refractive errors by
    using concave mirror effect we
    can find the amount of
    refractive error
    FAR POINT
     The far point of eye is defined as the point in space that is conjugate with the fovea when accomodation is
    relaxed

    • Parallel rays focus on fovea


    Emmetropia • Retina conjugate with infinity
    • Far point is at infinity

    • Parallel rays focus behind the retina


    • Far point is beyond infinity
    Hypermetropia
    • Plus lens converges rays on to the
    retina & conjugate fovea with infinity

    • Parallel rays focus infront of the retina


    Myopia • Far point is between infinity and eye
    • Minus lens diverges rays on the retina &
    conjugate fovea with retina
