A

Identify which eye is hyper in primary gaze

  • in primary gaze, determine whch eye is hyperdeviated
  • alternate cover test: the hyperdeviated eye is the one that moves down when uncovered
  • Maddox rod, red lens test: target seen by hyperdeviated eye will be lower than image seen by other eye
68
Q

What is the procedure for the 2nd step of the park 3 step

A

Identify whether the vertical deviation increases on right or left gaze

  • compare the vertical deviation in right gaze and in left gaze
  • determine if the deviation is greater in right or left gaze by using the Maddox rod or red lens test. If difficult to determine, ask patient if separation is greater in right or in left gaze
69
Q

What is the procedure for the 3rd step of Park 3 step test

A

Identify whether the vertical deviation increases on right or left head tilt

  • with the patient looking straight ahead, compare the vertical deviation when the patients head is tilted towards the right and left shoulder
  • determine if the deviation is greater on right or left head tilt
70
Q

Parks 3 step eval

A

Using the H pattern figure for each eye, circle the underacting muscles that are affected in each step
