Q

What is a consecutive?

A
  • Esotropia first and exotropia follows
  • often constant
  • may be spontaneous
  • Often occurs after eso deviation (iatrogenic-post-op)—> leads to slow divergence over time

Q

How would you tell if a px has a high AC/A that causes a simulated distance XOT?

A

Present a +3.00DS to them which relaxes accommodation and will cause them to decompensate to a manifest constant XOT

Q

How would you investigate an XOT?

Q

Under what conditions should stereopsis be done for a XOT px?

A

Where they are controlled, for example if they have an intermittent distance XOT, would asses stereopsis at near

Q

If a px had an intermittent distance XOT, what binocular function tests would you use?

Q

If a px had an intermittent near XOT, what BV tests would you use?

A

Synoptophore, FD2 distance stereotest, fusion range distance

34
Q

A

If they have poor vision

36
Q

In order to determine if a distance XOT is simulated or true what would you do?

A

With +3.00DS either eye at near with PCT (increased near angle simulated by accommodation) and after 45 minutes of occlusion with PCT (increased angle simulated by fusion)

37
Q

How is suppression measured?

A

Post-operative diplopia test to simulate what it would be like for after surgery

38
Q

Why is a fundus and media examination important?

A

To exclude pathology

39
Q

Why would someone do reconstructive surgery?

A

For cosmetic purposes

40
Q

Why have you got to be careful when carrying out reconstructive surgery?

A

If px is asymptomatic and they are suppressing after surgery they may get diplopia

41
Q

What are four principles you must consider for management

A
  • Correct diagnosis
  • Achieve best VAs in each eyes
  • Functional cure
  • Reconstructive cure
42
Q

What is functional cure?

A

Restoring BSV at all distances

43
Q

What is reconstructive cure?

A

Improving Cosmesis to make XOT smaller

44
Q

Is a secondary XOT more common in older or younger patients ? + is it more likely to be constant or intermittent?

A

older patients + constant unilateral (because pathology is constant)

45
Q

Should you refer children under 2 with a primary constant xot?

46
Q

What is the first stage management of XOT?

A
  • refractive correction
  • amblyopia treatment for under 7s

Q

Should you under correct small degrees if hyperopia for px with XOT?

How can you delay surgery with a px with XOT in relation to manipulation of rx?

A

Over minus

Surgery or Botox

63

A

correct any rx and consider referral to hes

64
Q

What is the management for near XOT?

A
  • correct significant rx and under correct small hyperopic rx
  • refer if under 8
65
Q

is it liekly to have a child under 8 with an intermittent near XOT?

66
Q

What prisms would you give for a near XOT?

67
Q

In what cases would you suggest orthoptic exercises?

A
  • deviations less than 20^d
  • to improve BO fusion range
  • to improve convergence
68
Q

At the hes, what may they do to treat near XOT?

A

Surgery or Botox

69
Q

What is the management for non-specific XOt?

A

-correct significant rx
- refer under 8 for amb + prevent loss of bsv
- refer over 8s for cosmesis

70
Q

Does a px with non-specific XOT often have symptoms?

71
Q

What are the cosmetic treatment for a px with non-specific XOT?

A

Surgery and Botox

72
Q

What is the management for a child under 8 with intermittent distance XOT?

A
  • give significant rx
  • refer to hes
73
Q

What must you include when you are referring an intermittent distance XOT under 8 year old px?

A

They are well controlled at near

74
Q

If they are older than 8 years old why would you refer an intermittent distance XOT px?

75
Q

Why should you no rush surgery if a px with distance XOT has good control at near?

A
  • risk of loss of bsv
  • risk of amb
  • risk of consecutive sot due to inaccurate measurements
76
Q

What is the hes job when managing intermittent distance XOT?

A
  • Ensure controlled and not deteriorating
  • potentially over minus

Cover tests with accommodative target small XOP good recovery. Cover test are near with +3.00 r&l moderate XOT. Cover test at distance moderate XOT?

A

Intermittent distance simulated XOT
