lack of proper eye development which results to Reduced Visual Acuity

A

meaning something happened during the course of development. It may be during a critical period, at birth or 8-9 years old. there is a disease or an accident that may disrupt the proper development of the patient. It may lead to reduced visual acuity.

Q

if a patient has strabismus, which of the 4 Circles of Skeffington is affected?

A
  • Anti-gravity and Centering (major problem)
  • Antigravity – answers the question WHERE AM I and where depth perception is concerned. So, if one eye is
    turned then depth perception.
  • Centering – answers the question WHERE IS IT, and where binocular vision is concerned. If the patient has strab then the patient has problems in centering and binocular vision.

Q

the importance of centering (binocular vision) and anti gravity (depth perception) in strabismus

A

Binocular vision and depth perception are dependent upon visual development within these
2 circles. To accurately point both your eyes at an object, you must understand where you are and the distance between you and that object.

Not only are there interactions between all 4 circles, but experiencing depth perception will create feedback that enhances localization, centering, movement, and language.

the right side of the road.

Is there a difference in the image perceived by the patient between his right and left eyes?

A

Yes. However, the +0.50D doesn’t have an effect but the minus power (-6.00D) has an effect as it minifies the space
or image perceived. Thus, the patient’s space is more compressed. Px’s space is more compressed due to

Q

Resolving Confusion:
The visual system/person can resolve confusion in several ways: (4)

A
  1. Tune one channel out. Suppression (generally only portions of one channel of flow is tuned out).
  2. Physically cover an eye.
    - usually we see this in kids when they have visual confusion, they squint or cover one eye
  3. Blur one channel. Develop single sided refractive conditions
  4. Turn one eye in a different direction (increase deviation to remove confusion)
56
Q

what type of revolving confusion is this?

OD and OS sees confusion (at first OU
is plano). Now the brain is confused with the images it perceives, so what it does is to ______ . At first small changes but eventually, the power increases until one eye is blur and only the

70
Q

NRC WITHOUT STRAB

A

single image

71
Q

A 5-year-old px has strabismus, at that time, usually there is still normal retinal correspondence, so she sees double image. Years later, about 20 years old, so it is now a long-standing strabismus, most likely the patient’s visual system has adapted and has now ARC. Therefore, he now sees a single image

Is ARC okay in the optometrist perspective?

A

ARC is okay for the px because he can see a single image. But, ARC in the perspective of an optometrist, is not okay because this is temporary.

The stereopsis and depth perception are sacrificed in this situation.

72
Q

Situation: Px w/ High Strab + No ARC
For example, a patient during the prism cover test has more than 50 ∆D (which is the largest value in the loose prism diopter) but there is still slight
movement. During W4D, she only sees 2 red dots.

A
  • She has no ARC but she just suppressed it because the deviation is too big
73
Q

Situation: Px w/ ARC + Microstrabismus

how to assess.

A

When you are dealing with microstrabismus with ARC (but they see single image), you must be careful in VT because there is a tendency that the px sees double.

For us, this is okay because it is slowly going back to NRC. But for these patients, it is not okay because they already know how to see single image, then you VT them, and now they’re seeing double vision again.. It is important to inform the patient of
what he will encounter.
