Q

Procedure for groffman tracings

A
  • hand the demo card to patient
  • this is a test to see how quickly accurately you can follow a line using only your eyes. Look at the line that starts with the letter A. Follow it with your eyes.when it reaches another line (point to the first intersection), follow it straight ahead and do not turn off onto a line that crosses the line you are traveling on.
  • now follow the lines starting at A with your eyes and tell me at what number it ends at the bottom of the page
  • after the pt completes A, repeat for D and say, we are going to trace 5 more lines, your score will depend on accuracy and speed so work quickly, nut try not to make a mistake
  • pt cannot use finger to trace line

Q

Scoring for Groffman

A
  • each letter is scored individually
  • if the pt reached the incorrect number- “0” point for that letter
  • if he or she reached the correct number but persisted in using his/her finger to trace the path- “0” points for that letter
  • if he/she reached the correct number visually- points give according to the scale, based on time elapsed in seconds
  • the individual scores for each letter are added and the total is compared to age matched normative data

59
Q

Cover test norm

A

60
Q

Neutralizing exo

A

BI

61
Q

Neutralizing eso

A

BO

62
Q

Neutralizing hypo

A

BU

63
Q

Neutralizing hyper

A

BD

64
Q

Neutralizing ortho

A

Verify by using BI and then BO

65
Q

If both eyes have BU or BD and the value isn’t split, the prism will produce

A

A version (conjugate eye movement)

Both eyes will move down and the problem didn’t get treated

66
Q

How do you treat someone with prism vertical

A

By splitting the vertical prism, the deviation is treated with the resultant and net binocular effect (the absolute sum of the prism)

8pd hyper

Rx 4BU OD with 4BD OS= 8BU OD, or 8BD OS

2BU OD with 3BD OS=5BU OD or 5BD OS

67
Q

How do you split horizaonrtal prism

A

You have to keep the same base OU

8BO will be 4BO OD and 4BO OS
By doing this, the resultant amount of 8BO causes a vergence eye movement to move each eye out

68
Q

What is BI and BO are RXed together

A

This will only reacte a version eye movement and not correct the deviation because they are yoked prisms and the effect will be canceled out in a version movement

69
Q

This is an abnormal head posture (head tilt, turn, chin up or down)
Can have one or more of these together

A

Torticollis

70
Q

Can be present in a variety of eye movement disorders. Requires early detection and correction of the cause

A

71
Q

72
Q

A compensatory response to an ocular problem by a head tilt

A

Ocular torticollis

-attempts to maintain binocularity and VA, or use of limited VF

73
Q
