MODULE 7: BINOCULAR VISION ANOMALIES Flashcards
The system of sensory motor co-operation between the eyes
Binocular vision
Bifoveal fixation/simultaneous Perception→ Fusion→ Streopsis
Binocular single vision
Occurs when there is a problem in the coordinated use of the eyes as a pair
Binocular vision anomalies
Type of deviation
Compensated/decompensated
Heterophoria
Type of deviation
Constant/intermittent
Strabismus
Laterality of strabismus:
Unilateral, alternating
Devation test distances
Far, inter, near
Direction of deviation in heterophoria
Exo, eso, hyper, cyclo
Direction of deviation in strabismus
Eso, eso, hyper, hypo, cyclo
Tendency for the eyes to move out of alignment when one is covered or when they view dissimilar objects
Heterophoria
Heterophoria is also known as
Latent strabismus/latent squint
Types of heterophoria
Basic eso/exo
Near eso/exo
Distance eso/exo
Convergence insufficiency
esophoria is similar at distance and near
Basic esophoria
esophoria is similar at distance and near
Distance esophoria
Divergence weakness
Distance esophoria
Convergence excess
Near esophoria
esophoria is significantly greater at near
Near esophoria
exophoria is similar at distance and near
Basic exophoria
Divergence excess
Distance exophoria
exophoria is significantly greater at distance than at near
Distance exophoria
Convergence weakness
Near exophoria
exophoria is significantly greater at near than distance
Near exophoria
characterized by remote NPC (more remote than 8-10cm
Convergence insufficiency
Convergence insuffiency is characterized by remote NPC, more remote than
8-10cm
Other terms for strabismus
Tropia, squint
Occurs when visual axes are misaligned/ manifest deviation
Strabismus
