5. OPERATION FOR TESTS

5.1.6 SMART CROSS TEST

Image of the cylinder axis move during test
(Temporary-real value)
Measure astigmatism accurately with the Jackson cross cylin­der lens semi-automatically. In general, the cross cylinder test forces the patient to compare the targets having slightly different powers repeatedly. Conse­quently the patient becomes tired from stress. In the smart cross test, the cylinder power and axis, which are input as the initial values, are regarded as the "Temporary-real values". By referring to the temporary-real axis value, the sys­tem calculates the axis whose view is most different on the front and rear of the cross cylinder lens. First, the patient's compari­son begins with this calculated axis. Then, the axis is moved to the opposite side against the temporary real value and the sys­tem asks the patient to compare the views of the chart. The axis movement is automatically conducted. As the move width is made smaller, the system searches for the "Real cylinder axis". This test is performed to reduce the fatigue on the patient. At the final stage of the axis test, the type of the used cross cyl­inder lens is automatically changed from "0.50D" to "0.25D" to reduce uneasiness of the patient. The test finishes with a lower cross-cylinder power resulting in a clearer end result and less fatigue for the patient.
1 Prepare for the test.
In some cases, measurement cannot be done. Before beginning the test, set the cylin­der power and axis measured objectively.
2 Select the cross cylinder test chart.
Select the cross cylinder test chart icon on the chart page. Then, click the [Smart CC] button from the function buttons.

5.2.3 PHORIA TEST (MADDOX)

Measure heterophoria of the patient by using the fixation target and Maddox rod.
1 Prepare for the test.
The measurement of this test cannot be conducted correctly in a bright room. Perform this test in a semi-dark room. When you use the TOPCON visual acuity charts, ACP-8 and MC-3, the fixation target is displayed. The fixation target may noy provide the luminance required for the test as the dot light source depending on the lighting of the test room. In this case, utilize a suffi­cient light source such as a penlight.

3 Check if the patient has heterophoria.
Click the [H/V] button on the control window. You can change the check procedures for horizontal phoria and vertical phoria. When checking horizontal phoria, the horizontal Maddox rod lens is set to the right eye and the dot light source is seen as a vertical line by the right eye. If the patient does not have a horizontal phoria, the luminous point of the dot light source that is seen by the left eye is on the vertical line that is seen by the right eye. If the patient has horizontal phoria, the luminous point of the dot light source that is seen by the left eye is separated from the line seen by the right eye. When checking vertical phoria, the vertical Maddox rod lens is set to the left eye and the dot light is seen as a horizontal line by the left eye. If the patient does not have vertical phoria, the luminous point of the dot light source that is seen by the right eye is on the horizontal line that is seen by the left eye. If the patient has vertical phoria, the luminous point of the dot light source that is seen by the right eye is separated from the line seen by the left eye.
4 Measure the horizontal phoria value.
If the patient has horizontal phoria, measure its value. If the mouse operation mode is not set to "Horizontal prism", click the [H/V] button on to change the mode. Ask the patient which side of the luminous point of the dot light exists, at the right or left of the line. When the dot light is at the right of the line, click the left mouse button for the mouse navigation until the dot light and line overlap each other. When the dot light is at the left of the line, click the right mouse button for the mouse navigation until the dot light source and line overlap each other.
5 Measure the vertical phoria value.
If the patient has vertical phoria, measure its degree. Click the [H/V] button to change the mouse operation mode to "Vertical prism". Ask the patient which side the luminous point of the dot light exists, above or under the line. When the dot light source is under the line, click the left mouse button for the mouse navigation until the dot light and line overlap each other. When the dot light source is above the line, click the right mouse button for the mouse navigation until the dot light and line overlap each other.
