Q

name and explain the two types of confusion

A
  1. esotropia (SOT)
    cyclopean eye sees superimposed e.g. tree and house
    is uncommon e.g. right esotropia means nasal retina looks at tree and house and tree over laps
  2. exotropia (XOT)
    cyclopean eye sees superimposed tree and house
    is uncommon

Q

name and explain the two types of pathological diplopia

A
  1. esotropia (SOT)
    strabismic eye - fixation object imaged on nasal retina which is projected temporally causes uncrossed diplopia, is more common than confusion
  2. exotropia (XOT)
    strabismic eye - fixation object imaged on temporal retina which is projected nasally causes crossed diplopia, is more common than confusion

Q

what is constant suppression

A

one blind eye
constant manifest strabismus
complete suppression of non dominant/non fixating eye
can have right eye or left eye or alternating suppression
e.g. if the right eye has esotropia the nasal retina projects temporally and px should get double vision but suppression switches the 2nd image off in the brain so px can only see one image

Q

how do you investigate suppression

A
  1. diagnose the presence of suppression
  2. measure the size and position of the scooter (important for surgery)
    it can be central suppression with peripheral fusion
    can measure size of scooter with prisms
  3. measure the density of suppression which can vary

Q

what is area suppression also termed as

A

suppression scotoma

22
Q

how do you use prisms to measure suppression scotoma

A

prism is placed before the deviated eye
prism increased until patient notes diplopia (which is out of the area of suppression)
record for base out, base in, base up and base down

23
Q

how do you measure the density of suppression with a sbisa bar

A
  • graded bar of varying density of red filters
  • placed infront of the fixating eye
  • px requested to view light and asked what colour which will be red as viewed by fixing eye
  • filters slowly increased in strength/darkness until px cannot see through the filter
    three outcomes shows the density of suppression:
  • patient informs examiner when the light changes from red to white as they have to use their suppressed eye in order to see
  • or examiner will see fixation swap between eyes
  • or px reports diplopia
  • record the density
  • less than 10 = suppression weak
  • danger of intractable diplopia if do this test
24
Q

what is the risk of measuring the density of suppression

A

danger of intractable diplopia

25
Q

what is intractable diplopia

A

taking suppression away from the px which will then experience diplopia

26
Q

when does abnormal (anomalies) retinal correspondence begin

A

in children under 8 years old

27
Q

what happens in abnormal retinal correspondence

A

fovea of one eye learns to correspond to a non-foveal area in the other eye (pseudo fovea) and then all the retinal correspondence in the periphery also shifts

28
Q

what do patients with ARC have

A 
abnormal BSV (ABSV) for some targets 
but generally BSV slightly weaker than normal
29
Q

what can a test for sensory fusion be achieved by

A

total dissociation or partial dissociation

30
Q

what is total dissociation

A

different targets/images to each eye

each eye has a different viewing tube

31
Q

what is partial dissociation

A

a single target/same image is seen by both eyes but each eye sees a different part of the image e.g. a part is seen by the right eye only and not the left

32
Q

name three types of partial dissociation tests

A
  1. worth’s lights - red/green
  2. bagolini lenses - diffraction
  3. mallett unit - polarisation
33
Q

describe the worth’s lights 4 dot test

A
  • four lights, usually round but can be different shapes
    2 green
    1 red
    1 white
  • view through red and green goggles
    red filter before R eye
    green filter before L eye
    green is not transmitted through a red filter
    red is not transmitted through a green filter
    white is transmitted equally through both filters
    both eyes see white light, appears red through red filter and appears green through green filter
34
Q

what is the normal BSV response for the worth’s lights 4 dot test

A

1 red light (control)
2 green lights (control)
the fused white light appears to be a mixture of red and green/alternates but stays a single image

35
Q

what sizes is the worth’s lights 4 dot test available in

A

use at 6M, 1M and 1/3rdM viewing distances

36
Q

how can you manage esotropia

A
  • maximum plus/minimum minus as plus relaxes accommodation so good for moving eye out
  • base out prisms (fresnel or incorporated)
  • exercises stereograms, lens prism bar
  • refer HES - surgery or second opinion
37
Q

how can you manage exotropia

A
  • maximum minus/minimum plus stimulates accommodation for both eyes so good for bringing eye in
  • base in prism (fresnel or incorporated)
  • exercises stereograms, lens prism bar
  • refer HES - surgery or second opinion
38
Q

how do you manage constant suppression

A
  • leave alone as no symptoms (lenses can cause double vision)
  • cosmetic surgery (only reason for treatment)
39
Q

how do you manage central suppression

A
  • microtropia
  • usually no treatment needed except for amblyopia
  • beware as BSV slightly inferior to normal
40
Q

what does a px with ARC see with the worth’s lights 4 dot test

A

exactly the same as a person with normal BSV despite the fact they have a manifest deviation

41
Q

how do you manage ARC

A
  • do not treat

- be aware that BSV slightly inferior therefore monitor

42
Q

explain striated lens partial dissociation/bagolini lenses

A
  • striations form a partial dissociation (control)
  • spot light seen by both eyes
  • striations are orientated in different directions for each eye
  • the streak of light is seen separately by either eye
43
Q

with bagolini lenses, which orientation does the patient report to see the streak of light in comparison to the striations on the lens seen by the optometrist

A

perpendicular

e.g. if px sees light at 45 degrees, optometrist sees striations at 135 degrees

44
Q

describe the bagolini glasses test

A
  • fixate a spot light (near or distance fixation and easiest with a bright pen torch)
  • striations before the R eye placed perpendicular to striations before the L eye (normally 135 and 45 degrees)
  • ask patient to report on how many lights they see
  • ask them to draw the pattern they see
  • are there any gaps in the centre near light
45
Q

what happens in the bagolini test with right eye esotropia

A
  • image hits nasal retina which projects temporarily
  • px will see two lights
  • one to the right which is seen by right eye
  • uncrossed diplopia
46
Q

what happens in the bagolini test with right eye exotropia

A
  • image hits temporal retina which projects nasally
  • px will see two lights
  • light at right eye will be moved to the left
  • crossed diplopia
47
Q

what happens in the bagolini test with right eye suppression

A

will see light on the left only

48
Q

what happens in the bagolini test with central/foveal suppression of right eye

A

streaks will be superimposed, but right streak will have a gap in the middle from suppression

49
Q

what happens in the bagolini test with ARC

A

px will see exactly the same as a person with normal BSV despite the fact they have a manifest deviation

50
Q

in the worth’s lights test, if a patient has suppression of their left eye, how many and which lights will they see

A

two red lights, vertical (the green horizontal lights will be missing as cannot see out of that eye)

51
Q

in the worth’s light test, if a patient has suppression of their right eye, how many and which lights will they see

A

two green lights. horizontal (the red vertical lights will be missing as cannot see out of that eye)
