FIFTH YEAR

 

SUBJECT: PRE-PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

 

ROTATION: VISUAL FIELD                  Professional cycle

 

Objective:

 

• Perform central and peripheral visual field examinations in children and adults; taking into account the different ametropias, the visual acuity achieved and the methodology to be followed in each examination.

 

Knowledge system	Skills
History or interview. Clinical history.	1. Establish a good relationship with the patient. Call the patient by his/her first name and last name and greet the patient. Ask how she/he is feeling. Know the need for which the examination is requested (medical order). Review the ophthalmological medical history, to know: a) Last refraction. b) Update of visual acuity. c) Last visual field examination. d) State of the ocular media and fundus. e) Presumptive diagnosis.
Lighting, levels or domains.	2. Prepare lighting conditions of the room, to achieve patient adaptation depending on the examination to be performed: Photopic level Mesopic level Scotopic level
Confrontation method. Equipment to be used. Equipment characteristics. Stimuli to be used. Examination technique, taking into account the type of examination to be carried out (perimetry: peripheral visual field and campimetry: central visual field).	3. Develop the visual field examination technique. Explain to the patient what the exam consists of. Perform the confrontation method. Position the patient in front of the equipment, with his/her eyes at the level of the fixing point. Explain to the patient what the exam consists of. Demonstrate examination with stimuli (large 20 mm). Place optical correction far on tangent screen or autoplot and close on perimeter attachment, as appropriate. Occlude the unexamined eye and begin with the best-vision eye. Position the patient on the chinrest. Start the examination by:           PERIMETER:   a) Correctly position the patient approximately at 33 cm. b) Place the graphic on the equipment. c) Determine the patient’s threshold. d) Explore the blind spot and mark limits. e) Explore the peripheral visual field, obtaining two isopteras and marking limits.
	f) Explore with colored stimuli (optic nerve and pathway with green and retina with blue) and mark limits. g) Remove the patient from the chinrest. h) Remove occlusion from the unexamined eye. i) Join the vision points to determine the isopters on the graph. j) Occlude the other eye. k) Perform the same steps of the technique from a) to i) in this eye. l) Remove occlusion. m) Join the vision points to determine the isopters on the graph and complete it, taking into account the observations it should reflect. n) Guide the patient to see his ophthalmologist.   TANGENT SCREEN: a) Correctly position the patient within 1 to 2 meters, depending on the size of the screen. b) Select the stimulus to be used. c) Explore the blind spot and mark limits. d) Explore the periphery and mark limits. e) Explore with colored stimuli (optic nerve and pathway with green and retina with blue) and mark limits. f) Remove the patient from the chinrest. g) Remove occlusion from the unexamined eye. h) Transcribe the results to the graph. i) Occlude the other eye. j) Perform the same steps of the technique from a) to f). k) Remove occlusion. l) Complete information on the graph, taking into account the observations it should reflect. m) Guide the patient to see his ophthalmologist.

Objective:

• Differentiate normal eye fundus from pathological eye fundus.

 

Knowledge system	Skills

Objective:

To interpret the refractive defects of the human eye and to predict, by means of specialized techniques, such as biomicroscopy, retinoscopy, keratometry, the contact lens, both rigid, and permeable gas lens, hydrophilic, which must be prescribed to achieve the visual rehabilitation of the individual.

 

Knowledge system	Skills
Prior examinations for the prescription of contact lenses	Perform biomicroscopy, tear study, keratometry, refractometry, horizontal diameter of visible iris, topography, lens calculation and prescription.
Adaptation of contact lenses	Perform geometrical, physical and optical adaptation.
