Tectopulvinar pathway Damage causes visual ataxia- loss of "where"; inability to track visual information Includes projections to the pretectum (pupillary reflexes) and the superior colliculus (visually guided eye movements- saccades when reading) Geniculosriate pathway The perception pathway Visual perception is lost without this pathway -loss of "what" Information from the right visual field goes to left lateral geniculate nuclei (LGN) and vice versa -Optic nerves terminate in the LGN of ...

Which of the following eyelid layers contains the palpebral portion of the eyelid muscle that closes the eye? - Orbicularis A patient with a corneal curvature of +43.00 is fit with a GP contact lens with a BC of +41.00D. What is the power of the lacrimal lens? - -2.00 A GP lens that is flatter then the curvature of the cornea will form a negative lacrimal lens power. The GP CL is 2.00 flatter then the corneal curvature, so the LL power is -2.00 Which of the following test measures an ocul...
