What is Purkinje image test?
The Purkinje images are one of these eye-tracking methods that can be used to detect both the movement and the position of the patient’s eye. The optometrists commonly use both the P4 and the P1 of the Purkinje images in detecting the eye position and movement. P3 Purkinje image can also be used, but occasionally.
What is the use of Purkinje image?
The first and fourth Purkinje images are used by some eye trackers, devices to measure the position of an eye. The cornea reflection (P1 image) used in this measurement is generally known as glint.
How are Purkinje images important in the examination of the human eye?
Purkinje images are very useful in not only determining eye fixation but also in measuring a host of other information of the eye. This means that we must understand more clearly how Purkinje images work to be able to potentially implement a pupil detection system based on IR light for our modified glaucoma test.
How many Purkinje images are visible in Pseudophakia?
four Purkinje images
In the first part of the video, the four Purkinje images which are reflections on the eye’s optical surfaces are introduced for the phakic eye.
What is AK reading?
Keratometry (K) is the measurement of the corneal curvature; corneal curvature determines the power of the cornea. Differences in power across the cornea (opposite meridians) results in astigmatism; therefore, keratometry measures astigmatism.
How Purkinje images are formed?
Purkinje images are formed by reflections of light sources at different ocular interfaces (air-cornea, cornea-aqueous humor, aqueous humor-lens and lens-vitreous humor interfaces) as shown in Fig. 7.
What happens to the Purkinje image during accommodation?
Purkinje image III (z/m = 10.6097 mm/0.0151) is nearly double the size of image I and during accommodation it moves from the vitreous into the crystalline lens. Purkinje IV (z/m = 4.3244 mm/-0.0059) is inverted, three quarters the size of image I, lies in the crystalline lens and moves slightly towards the retina.
What is shining reflex?
The technique for observing Purkinje reflexes in a pseudophakic eye is as follows: The examiner, facing the patient, shines the light source on the lateral aspect of the patient’s eye. The corneal reflex (P1) is visualized on the lateral aspect of the pupil.
What are normal K readings?
K readings. The normal maximum keratometry (K) reading (K max) is less than 49.00 D. The normal difference between K max and the steep simulated K (sim K) is less than 1.00 D. The K max should be used in the calculation of photorefractive treatments of hyperopia.
What is K1 and K2 in Keratometry?
Keratometry was measured in 2 meridians: that is, flat keratometry (K1) and steep keratometry (K2). The K value was calculated as the mean of K1 and K2.
Where are Purkinje cells?
Purkinje cell, large neuron with many branching extensions that is found in the cortex of the cerebellum of the brain and that plays a fundamental role in controlling motor movement. These cells were first discovered in 1837 by Czech physiologist Jan Evangelista Purkinje.
How many Purkinje images are in Aphakia?
Aphakia
| APHAKIA | PSEUDOPHAKIA |
|---|---|
| Purkinje image test typically shows absence of third & fourth Purkinje images (Only 2 images are seen) | Purkinje image test typically shows presence of all four Purkinje images (third & fourth Purkinje images are present). |

What are the first and fourth Purkinje images used for?
The first and fourth Purkinje images are used by some eye trackers, devices to measure the position of an eye. The cornea reflection (P1 image) used in this measurement is generally known as glint. are the refractive indices before and after the reflecting surface.
How is the brightness of a Purkinje image determined?
Brightness. The brightness of the Purkinje images can be determined using Fresnel’s equation : where and are the refractive indices before and after the reflecting surface. [citation needed] Purkinje image P1 is the brightest of the four, then P3 and P4 (P3 and P4 have about the same brightness), then P2.
Why is Purkinje image 1 important to kerotometry?
Importance of purkinje images • Purkinje image 1 has many important clinical applications, including kerotometry and corneal topography • Used in measuring angle kappa (angle of deviation) in Hirschberg test
