yoked prisms with bean bags

Question 26

give the correct order of testing for a pt.

• biocular
• binocular
• moocular

Answer 26

1. monocular
2. biocular
3. binocular

Question 27

In vision therapy for non strabismis pt. you want to proceed from (flat/stereo) training to (flat/stereo) wiht suppression controls

Answer 27

stereo, flat

Question 28

In vision therapy for non strabismis pt. you want to proceed from (gross/finer) then progress to targets that are (gross/finer)

Answer 28

gross, finer

Question 29

T/F proper sequencing is the key to overall success in a visual therapy program

Answer 29

T

Question 30

In vision therapy for non strabismis pt. you want to end technique with (flat fusion/accommodative-convergence/monocular skills)

Answer 30

accomodative convergence

Question 31

• Proceed from monocular skills to biocular skills to binocular skills.
• Proceed from stereo training to flat fusion with suppression controls.
• Equalize the visual skills between the two eyes.
• Initial targets should be gross targets (peripheral stimulation). As therapy progresses, targets should become finer and more central.
• Flat fusion should incorporate feedback for the patient.
• End-stage techniques must include “accommodative-convergence” flexibility.

Answer 31

1. Proceed from monocular skills to biocular skills to binocular skills.
2. Equalize the visual skills between the two eyes.
3. Proceed from stereo training to flat fusion with suppression controls.
4. Flat fusion should incorporate feedback for the patient.
5. Initial targets should be gross targets (peripheral stimulation). As therapy progresses, targets should become finer and more central.
6. End-stage techniques must include “accommodative-convergence” flexibility.
