چکیده

Two special slides, one in front of one eye and one in front of the other eye, were placed in the housings of a synoptophore. The slides were originally designed for the diagnosis and measurement of cyclodeviation, but they were utilised in this study for the measurement of torsional fusional vergence. This was measured by rotating one of the housings of the synoptophore and noting the point of appearance of cyclodiplopia, which was taken as the end point. For measuring vertical torsional fusional vergence the subject was required to fuse the vertical line of the slide with the circle and the vertical line of the slide with the cross, and for measuring horizontal torsional fusional vergence he was required to fuse the horizontal line of the slide with the circle and the horizontal line of t-he slide with the cross. Incyclovergence was found to be greater than excyclovergence in all the 3 positions of gaze (straight, up, down) studied. The mean amplitude of torsional fusional vergence was lowest in the primary position. Torsional fusional vergence was much less with horizontal lines than with vertical lines in all positions of gaze. The use of the horizontal line of the slide with the cross would be more advantageous for the diagnosis and measurement of cyclodeviation by the synoptophore method, as the amplitude of cyclofusion is minimal in the horizontal meridian.

Measurement and diagnosis of cyclodeviation by the after-image method.

Lesions involving the vertical muscles or their nerve supply usually result in some degree of torsional deviation of the eye which may produce intractable and distressing asthenopia. Although cyclophoria has long been recognized and has been demonstrated with such apparatus as the Maddox rod, Maddox wing, Maddox double prism, and synoptophore, it is nevertheless frequently overlooked. Moreover ...

Vertical fusional vergence: the key to dissociated vertical deviation.

OBJECTIVES To test the previous findings of Enright that disparity-induced vertical vergence is mediated primarily by the oblique muscles, and to relate this normal eye movement pattern to the eye movement pattern seen in subjects with dissociated vertical deviation. METHODS Sixteen normal volunteers underwent 55 measurements of the cycloversion associated with prism-induced vertical vergence...

Evaluation of ocular accommodation, convergence and fusional vergence changes during Ramadan

Purpose: There are a few researches regarding the effects of Islamic fasting on visual system. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Ramadan fasting on the amplitude of accommodation (AA), near point of convergence (NPC), positive and negative fusional vergences (PFV and NFV, respectively) in visually healthy fasters. Methods: AA, NPC, PFV and NFV at far (6m) and near (40cm) w...

Binocular Summation within the Binocular Visual Field

To study the influence of binocular summation on the threshold values of the central visual field in normal subjects, the authors modified the Octopus 201 by combining it with the space synoptophore. They tested ten normal subjects between 20 and 30 years of age. A space synoptophore was built into the cupola of the Octopus 201 so that the authors could confirm the conditions of binocular visio...
