| vestibular ocular reflex | <clinical sign> Reflex movement of the eyes in the opposite direction to that which the head is moved, e.g., the eyes being lowered as the head is raised, and the reverse (Cantelli's sign); an indication of functional integrity of the brainstem tegmental pathways and cranial nerves involved in eye movement. Synonym: vestibular ocular reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| reflex, vestibulo-ocular | A reflex wherein impulses are conveyed from the cupulas of the saemicircular canals and from the otolithic membrane of the saccule and utricle via the vestibular nuclei of the brainstem and the median longitudinal fasciculus to the oculomotor nerve nuclei. It functions to maintain a stable retinal image during head rotation by generating appropriate compensatory eye movements. (12 Dec 1998) |
| refraction, ocular | Refraction of light effected by the media of the eye. It also includes the determination of the refractive state and refractive correction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| goniometre ocular | <microscopy> A special type of ocular fitted with crosslines and a graduated head which rotates the crosslines to facilitate the measuring of angles, as in crystallography. (05 Aug 1998) |
| retro-ocular | <anatomy> Behind the pons. Origin: L. Bulbus = bulb (18 Nov 1997) |
| cogwheel ocular movements | Loose, jerky ocular rotations replacing smooth following rotations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compensating ocular | An ocular that compensates and corrects for the effects of chromatic aberration in the objective. (05 Mar 2000) |
| wide field ocular | An ocular that gives a larger than usual field of view and a high eyepoint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculoskeletal, neural, and ocular physiology | Activities and functions of the musculoskeletal system, the nervous system, and the eye and their parts. (12 Dec 1998) |
| convergence, ocular | The turning inward of the lines of sight toward each other. (12 Dec 1998) |
| positive ocular | <microscopy> A Ramsden ocular or any modification of it. The diaphragm is below the field lens. (05 Aug 1998) |
| Huygens' ocular | The compound ocular of a microscope, composed of two planoconvex lenses so arranged that the plane side of each is directed toward the observer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intra-ocular calcification | <radiology> Retinoblastoma, foreign body, post-inflammatory atrophy of globe, chronic hypercalcaemia, tuberous sclerosis, cataract, Coats disease (congenital vascular anomaly of retina) (12 Dec 1998) |
| inverse ocular bobbing | Slow downward eye movement followed by delayed quick upward return. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ocular | 1. Of, pertaining to or affecting the eye. 2. Eyepiece. Origin: L. Ocularis, from oculus = eye (18 Nov 1997) |
