Hey everyone. Here are 5 types of vision loss that I wanted to review. I also want to note that homonymous hemianopia and homonymous hemianopsia are interchangeable terms that refer to the same condition.

Thank you! I’ve been having a little trouble remembering the differences between these and this really helped sort out which is which! Another way I just thought of to remember glaucoma is tunnel vision is I think of a glock (I know 😂) cause it sounds similar to glaucoma and then I think of how there’s a little tunnel inside that the bullet goes out of so if you were to look through that as if you could see to the other side, it’d be like looking through a tunnel lol

Hi Gabby! The sillier the better! Someone else might find your strategy helpful. :)

Hi Tori! This is the sweetest comment. Thank you for your kind words. I hope you have wonderful shadowing and fieldwork experiences-- I learned the most during those times during my program. Good luck!

Thank you so much for your videos! They've been really helpful studying for the NBCOT, and I wish I'd seen them earlier. I did want to mention the AOTA NBCOT study guide states that diabetic retinopathy results in peripheral vision loss. (It doesn't mention central vision loss at all.) I feel like I also learned in school that glaucoma was the only peripheral vision loss, so I'm interested in what resource you used that supported this. Thanks so much!

Hi Tonya. Thanks for your comment. I try my best to cite resources in the comment section if I pulled from specific sources that you guys can access. From my understanding, diabetic retinopathy impairs primarily your central vision since it damages the retina which is responsible for central vision. There are different levels of severity so in very severe cases, blindness can occur which would include peripheral vision loss but that is rare due to early treatment/surgery options. Here's a nice break down indicating central vision loss for diabetic retinopathy from the american optometric association: www.aoa.org/healthy-eyes/eye-and-vision-conditions/diabetic-retinopathy?sso=y At the time I put this study guide together, I was also and still am under the impression that glaucoma was the only one that led to peripheral vision loss unless new research has come out that I am not aware of. Good luck with your studies!

@@OTRex thank you so much for the reply and all the great videos. You are definitely helping me conceptualize and prepare for the boards :-)

In the AOTA pdf for diabetic retinopathy it says, "fluctuating vision, including blurred vision and peripheral vision loss". I interpret the blurred vision as referring to central vision loss. "Fluid can leak into the macula, the area of the retina responsible for clear central vision. Although small, the macula is the part of the retina that allows us to see colors and fine detail. The fluid causes the macula to swell, resulting in blurred vision." www.aoa.org/healthy-eyes/eye-and-vision-conditions/diabetic-retinopathy?sso=y
