NURS 5031 Study Guide Sensory Disturbances
Vision
Presbyopia - age-related change to the lens
Decrease in tear production - can cause blurry vision
Study | Purpose and Results |
Amsler Grid Test | Monitor macular problems
|
Perimetry testing | Detects changes in central + peripheral vision related to glaucoma, stroke, brain tumors, and neurologic issues
|
Refractometry | Measures refractive error
|
Ultrasonography | A-scan = determines correct lens power for a cataract surgery B-Scan = diagnoses ocular pathology like intraocular foreign body/tumors, vitreous opacity changes, and retinal detachments |
