purpose : to evaluate the role of orthoptic treatments in the management of intermittent exotropia methods : in a retrospective study, clinical records of patients diagnosed with intermittent exotropia were reviewed. patients with basic, convergence insufficiency (ci) and divergence excess (de) types of intermittent exotropia who underwent orthoptic treatments were enrolled. office treatments i...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Considerable uncertainty and controversy has existed concerning the management of convergence insufficiency. Only recently there have been significant scientific studies published that compare the effectiveness of the commonly prescribed treatments. This paper reviews the most recent research and literature on convergence insufficiency and its treatment. RECENT FINDINGS The ...

purpose: to report the results of orthoptic training in two middle-aged patients according to current theories. case report: a 56-year-old female with decompensated exophoria and myopia and a 68-year-old male with decompensated esophoria and moderate hyperopia underwent vision therapy according to standard procedures for improving fusional vergences and ocular accommodation. sheard and percival...

Orthoptic curves for the conics are well known. It is Monge's circle ellipse and hyperbola, parabola it its directrix. These level sets of quadratic functions in plane. We consider higher dimension, known as quadric hypersurfaces. For these hypersurfaces we present study their orthoptic sets, which extend idea conics.

PURPOSE The second Cambridge Infant Vision Screening Program examined whether screening for accommodative errors by using videorefraction without cycloplegia could effectively serve as a first stage of screening for refractive errors, measured by standard cycloplegic retinoscopy. The screening also included an orthoptic examination for detection of strabismus. METHODS All infants born in the ...

WHEN orthoptic treatment was first practised it was thought that, if it were applied in cases of non-paralytic strabismus where there was good visual acuity in each eye, restoration of normal binocular function would invariably result. In the early 1930s it was not unusual for children suffering from squint to be subjected to countless sessions of treatment with reflecting stereoscopes in the h...

INTRODUCTION Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory and degenerative entity that may involve the brain, optic nerve, and/or the spinal cord. We reviewed 137 patients, aged 4-54 years old at the time of the diagnosis and will report on the vision, different motility disorders found, visual fields, optic neuritis and RAPD, return of vision following the neuritis, visual evoked potential, nerv...
