A

Perfectly aligned target. This means visual axis of BE are correctly aligned for BV. No extra fusional vergence is needed.

Q

What prisms are used for exo and eso deviations

Q

Which types of vision therapy is used to help uncompensated exo deviations

A

Stereogram / near point cards

18
Q

Which types of vision therapy is used to help uncompensated eso deviations

A

Exercises focusing in DV / relaxing convergence

19
Q

Is a Px sees half the chart on fix disp what does this mean

A

They are suppressing. The brain is compensating for the misalignment

20
Q

When looking at vertically misaligned phorias how to know which eye has the hyper/hypo phoria

A

The eye that deviates the most up/down has the phoria

21
Q

Which way are the eyes drifting in hyper and hypo phoria and how will this result on the fix disp chart

A

Hyper = eye drifts up wards so horizontal line will appear lower on the same side of the eye with the phoria(most deviation)
Hypo = eye drifts downwards so horizontal line will appear higher on the same side of the eye with phoria (most deviation

22
Q

What will a px with esotropia see on fix disp test.

A

The top vertical line will move to the left of the bottom vertical line

23
Q

What will a patient with exotropia see on fix disp test

A

The top vertical line will move to the right of the bottom vertical line

24
Q

What long term issues can suppression cause

A

Loss of BV
Reduced depth perception
Amblyopia
Risk of DIP

25
When are convergence exercises and anti suppression exercises used
Convergence = mainly used for phorias. Help ability to converge/focus on near objects/maintain BV without strain or DIP Anti suppression = mainly used for tropias. Aims to stop suppression and encourage binocular fusion.
26
Give 5 examples of convergence exercises
Pen to nose exercises Brock string Pencil push ups Stereograms Synaptophore
27
Give 4 examples of anti suppression exercises
Stereograms Worth 4 dot Fusion cards Synaptophore
28
How to carry out pen to nose exercises and explain various results
Holding pen at arms length and bringing closer till becomes double. This point where becomes double , then stop moving it closer and move it back till it becomes single again. if keeps practicing will get closer to eye Perfume 10x/2x per day Normal result = 5-10cm from nose Convergence insufficient = > 10cm Excessive convergence = eyes converge too much 2-3cm from nose + symptoms
29
How to carry out brock string test
Hold one side of the string at your nose and the other tied up at eye level with 3 beads on the string. The furthest bead should be about 3m away from you. Focus on bead closest 30-40cm to u. U should only see one bead. Move string closer to u while focusing on the nearest bead. As it gets closer the string should form an X with the two eye images crossing at the bead. If you see 2 beads then ages are not converging properly
30
What are normal and abnormal results for brock string test and what do they mean
Normal result - string should form X shape pattern as 2 eyes focus on same bead CI - as string comes closer px loses focus or DIP at further distance. 1 eye may drift out, string does not form X properly and px may see beads separately CE - see DIP at very close distance 2-3cm from nose. Discomfort as eyes over converge. String may appear distorted.
31
What are the various results from pen to nose excercises and what do they mean
Normal - no DIp, NPC and 3-5cm CI - DIP appears very early around 10cm from nose, eyestrain/HAs CE - DIP may appear too close 2-3xm from nose, discomfort Tropias - one eye drifts outward while other eye fixates on pencil
32
What is stereogram
Visual tool to help assess depth perception and improve BV. It helps to train stereopsis
33
How is stereogram carried out
Px sits 40-50cm from stereogram. Test may req special gls. Goal is to fuse 2 images and percieve 1 3D image. For px difficulty fusing they may see 2 flat images and need to adjust focus to bring 3D image into view. Can increase difficulty by making 3D image more complex. Or adjust the image to be slightly more seperated (challenges image to fuse images at diff depths)
34
What are the various results of stereogram test and what do they mean
Normal - able to see 3D image clearly Inability to see 3D image - px sees 2 flat images with no depth - poor stereopsis indicated by amblyopia/strabismus/CI If DIP seen - px has tropia or CI
35
How is synaptophore test carried out
Px sits 1m from machine. Test has 2 sep images depending on what test is being used for. For each eye the devise shows a sep image. If two identical image(testing fusion), different images(testing stereo), a target in 1 image(testing convergence), diff patterns/figures(testing suppression) px is asked to fuse images.
36
How is worths 4 dot test carried out.
Px is wearing red/green gls. A light or card is shown to Px with 4 dots. In the colours red/green/white/white. The colours help to isolate the input from each eye. They should report what they see as: 1 red dot seen by LE (through red filter) 1 green dot seen by RE (through green filter) 2 white dots visible in BE
37
What do the different responses mean in the worths 4 dot test
Normal - px sees all 4 dots which means good BV Suppression - px sees 3 dots and suppressing from the weaker eye(misalignment) DIP - px sees 5 dots, brain sees conflicting images from BE. Suggests strab/BV issues
38
How is fusion cards test carried out
Px wears red/green gls and is presented with a fusion card with 2 overlapping images/patterns each presented to a diff eye. Images are diff colours to help brain isolate each image to each eye. Px is shown card at reading distance and tries to fuse images I.e if 2 circles then should see 1 circle.
39
What is statistic retinoscopy
Measures refractive error when px accommodation is relaxed, the px looks at a distance target while light is shone in the eye to observe reflexes. Used to determine rx
40
What is dynamic ret
Carried out at near(40cm) to assess accommodative function. Observe reflex while px accommodates. If with movement - not accommodating enough , if against movement then over accommodating
41
What are a disadvantage of Binoc refraction
Some People don’t take it well and start to see DIP
