Q

What is the convergence insufficiency triad?

Study These Flashcards
A

receded NPC*, XP’>XP, reduced PFV aka BO

24
Q

What is an additional finding of convergence insufficiency?

25
How does NRA work as a binocular test?
convergence is set, keep target clear and single, add + lenses, patient relaxes accommodation, decrease in accommodative convergence, patient convergences to keep single or reports diplopia
26
How does PRA work as a binocular test?
convergence is set, keep target clear and single, add - lenses, patient accommodates, accommodative convergence increases, patient diverges to keep single or reports diplopia
27
What is the tx for CI?
BI prism or vision therapy
28
What is Sheard's used for?
not so much to Rx but more for the range
29
How is vergence calculated by sheard?
2/3 demand - 1/3 reserve
30
What is the compensating range as outlined by Sheard?
>/= 2X phoria
31
Phorias can vary based on....
time of day, testing
32
What does Sheard's not consider?
recovery
33
What was the convergence insufficiency treatment trial finding?
most effective treatment for CI was office based therapy combined with home reinforcement activities (75% achieved improvement vs 43% at home)
34
What was the CITT-ART finding?
binocular/accommodative therapy does not improve reading... both treatment and placebo improved in reading but not to a significant degree
35
What was a critique of CITT ART?
exclusion of prism in glasses, uncorrected hyperopia if <2D
36
What three skills did the placebo CITT ART group practice with their therapy techniques?
fixation, attention, visual perception
37
What are association with CI?
autism, ADHD, concussions, lyme disease, Alzheimers, Parkinsons
38
What is a pseudo CI?
really an accomodative problem, present with CI signs (reduced NPC and PFV and XP') may also demonstrate reduced amps and high lag
39
What is the treatment for a pseudo CI?
low plus glasses for near, VT
40
What testing is used for a pseudo CI?
NPC accommodative and non-accommodative, if PCI both will be equal if non-accommodative is more reduced then real CI
41
How do you change NPC to retest a PCI?
retest with low plus (+0.50 OU) and the NPC will improve if pseudo CI
42
What are characteristics of convergence excess?
reduced negative fusional vergence (BI), low PRA, high NRA
43
What is the treatment for convergence excess?
low plus for near, VT
44
What are symptoms of accommodative problems?
blurry near vision, eyes tear at near, near-far blur and far-near blur, fatigue when reading, HA when reading, close working distance
45
What are the two accommodative anomalies?
accommodative insufficiency and accommodative infacility
46
What is accommodative insufficiency?
difficulty stimulating accommodation
47
What is accommodative infacility?
difficulty changing accommodative response
48
What is a main symptom of accommodative insufficiency?
prolonged reading gets blurry
49
What are direct measures of accommodative insufficiency?
reduced amplitude of accommodation, high MEM?FCC because like +
50
What are indirect measures of accommodative insufficiency?
reduced PRA and high NRA because like +
51
What are the medical associations of accommodative insufficiency?
adhd stimulant meds and SSRIs
52
What are the condition associates of accommodative insufficiency?
down syndrome and cerebral palsy
53
What is not often tested in Peds?
accommodative infacility
54
How do you test accommodative infacility?
-2/+2 flippers, difficulty clearing monocularly is infacility
55
What is the 8-12 and 12+ expected cycles for monocular accommodative infacility?
7 cpm and 11 cpm respectively
56
What are indirect measures of accommodative infacility?
reduced PRA and NRA, difficulty clearing -2/+2 binocularly
57
What are the expected 8-12 and 12+ binocular cycles for accommodative infacility?
5 cpm and 10 cpm respectively
