Course objectives
Binocular vision is ability to see with both eyes single image. It isn´t inborn, it develops until one year and is refined until six years. It is divided artificially into 3 grades. Binocular vision is important for the selection of profession and also for social relations and life. Significant defects of single binocular vision (SBV) are strabismus and amblyopia. Strabismus is treated with glasses, occlusion, pleoptics (conservative treatement of amblyopia), surgery and ortoptics (conservative treatment of binocularity). Paralytic strabismus arises from palsy of oculomotor nerves, muscles or defect of central nervous system. Palsy also manifests as a eye´s deviation and consequent SBV defects. Treatment then involves symptomatic procedures (occlusion), spectacle correction, exercise and/or surgical treatment. After this course of lectures/exercise/seminars, student will be able to define a term clinical orthoptics. Student will have a theoretical and practical knowledge of orthoptic and pleoptic procedures suitable for particular types of binocular vision defects in children and adults. Student will be able to perform basic differential diagnosis, he/she will be able to plan orthoptic treatment programme in terms of the therapeutic methods selection and the time schedule, he or she will have the knowledge required for setting control parameters for monitoring the effectiveness of therapy and for stating the prognosis. Student will have a basic knowledge of how his or her treatment plan communicate with cooperating strabismologist and parents, resp. with the patient.
