Course objectives
Binocular vision is the ability to see with both eyes simply. It is not congenital, develops within one year and consolidates within six years. It is divided artificially in 3 degrees. It is important for career choice and for social life. Disorders of simple binocular vision include strabismus (stinging) and amblyopia (obedience). Strabismus is treated with glasses, occlusions and pleoptics (amblyopia treatment), surgery and orthoptics (recovery of binocular vision). Paralytic strabismus arises from polio nerves, muscles, or CNS disorders. Arms are also manifested by eye deviation and binocular vision disorder. Upon completion of this lecture, the student will be able to define the term binocular vision. He will know all of his components and will know what factors affect the correct development of a simple binocular vision. Students will also learn about simple binocular vision disorders such as suppression, amblyopia and anomalous retinal correspondence. The student will also understand the term strabismus and will know its types and causes.
Learning outcomes
The student acquires knowledge about diagnostic methods and possibilities of conservative treatment of strabismus - pleoptic and orthoptic - and surgical treatment.
Syllabus
  • Rehabilitation of sensory components of fusion: Reeducation of monocular vision (%"pleoptics") (total occlusion, sectoral, partial, inverse, atropinization, optic penalization, pharmacotherapy, active pleoptics (eye-hand exercises, localizer, corrector) -TMS, NeuroVision, ..)). Eccentric fixation therapy (Banderter's pleoptophore, euthyscope and Cupers coordinator, Langa diffusion filters, Pigass prisms, Brinker-Katze red filters, ...). Breakthrough and increasing of the suppressive threshold of dichoptic masquing (contrast change -diffuse and neutral density filters, change of position - KRST, change of brightness - damping, cheiroscope, mirror stereoscope, Brewster-Holmes, reading with grid). Breaking and lowering the suppressive threshold of retinal rivalry (Avetis diploptic, ...). Rehabilitation of the motor component of fusion (orthoptics): Exercise of ducts (trainer of eye movements, ....). Exercises of relative convergence and divergence in real space (remote and close-ups, computer programs, Remy's separator, ...) and in the instrument room (Troposcope, Brewster-Holmes, .....). Practice of convergence within VAS (push-up, convergence trainer, ...). Normalization of vergence-accommodating synkinetics (Remy's separator and diploscope).
