8 - Computerized, Sports, & ABI Flashcards
Computer programs: VTS4
most common - vergences, accomm, & oculomotor therapy, diagnostic testing
Advantages of computerized therapy (6)
Standardization of procedures Motivational tool Selling point Objective measure Independence from Dr Automated scoring
Disadvantage of computerized therapy
Automation is slow, unreliable, & hard to interpret
Advantages of liquid crystal filters (2)
Allows vivid binocular targets (-) ghosting
Eliminates problems with R/G glasses - color rivalry, different accomm demand due to chromatic aberration & chromostereopsis
Sports vision exam elements
Comprehensive exam
Tx/preventing injury
Enhancing sport performance
Visual deficits with sports vision/injury
Accommodative disorders
CI
Saccadic dysfunction
ABI exam elements/considerations (5)
Refractive error BV, accomm, eye movement anomalies VF loss Ocular disease (CRAO - “stroke in eye”) Other visual ABI manifestations
ABI other recommended testing (4)
Fixation disparity
Double maddox rod
Visagraph (objective)
Diagnostic occlusion
ABI common issues (5)
Cyclovertical heterophoria Sensory fusion disruption (unique to ABI) Exo deviation/CI Vertical deviations (fixation disparity) Strab/CN palsy
ABI common symptoms (6)
Accomm dysfunction Saccade/pursuit issues Poor balance/coordination Dizziness Light sensitivity Difficulty with distance activities
ABI treatment recommendations/considerations (2)
Correct refractive error 1st
May fatigue/be slow, esp. in free space
