A

rare

142
Q

what do you need to warn parents of with a fully accomm SOT

if a small hyperopic rx, how do you treat fully accomm SOT?

A

exercises: MISTY/CLEAR or LIFT UP AND REPLACE GLASSES

144
Q

how does lift up and replace glasses work?

A

lift glasses up - child now accommodates to see clearly without glasses, this will also cause then to converge therefore cause an SOT & diplopia. Aske them to relax their accommodation and allow the image to become blurred and let them note that it is now single Then encourage them little bit by little bit to become clearer whilst maintaining a single image

145

NEVER

146
Q

who manages a fully accomm SOT?

A

optometrist

147

  • cyclo refraction
  • fully correct if hyperopic
  • under correct if myopic
  • treat amblyopia (monitor carefully)
  • achieve control of deviation to turn into fully accommodative SOT -BIFOCALS
148
Q

stop them from accommodating so much, then turns them into fully accom SOT

149

minimum near add to eliminate sOT and have good BSV
amount of near add then reduced by +0.50 every 6 months
Aim to leave straight with single vision lens
