What does a left hypertrophia mean
Either:
- left eye elevated
Or
- right eye depressed
Do you use correction in CT
Yes
Purpose of CT
Assess the presence and magnitude of a phoria or tropia
What all is recorded in CT
Correction? Magnitude Eye P or T Constant or intermittent Distance or near
How is an intermittent tropia recorded
(T)
- in parentheses
How is CT at N recorded
’
- with an apostrophe
Do you use correction on EOMs
No
Purpose of EOM test
To asses ability to perform conjugate eye movements
What all should be recorded in EOM test
Eye
Ability of muscles (full and smooth; if restricted)
Diplopia (- if not)
Pain (- if not)
Do you preform hirschberg with correction
No
Purpose of hirschberg
To determine the position of the visual axes under binocular conditions at N
How to perform hirschberg
1) look at penlight
2) look at reflex monocularly
3) look at reflex binocularly
Hirschberg: reflex is nasal
- positive angle lamda
- exo
Hirschberg: reflex is temporal
- negative angle lamda
- eso
Hirschberg: reflex is above
Hypo
Record as opposite eye hyper
Hirschberg: reflex is below
Hyper
Which eye is the prism placed over in Krimsky
FIXATING eye until reflex is in the same position as deviating eye
BO relieves
Eso
BI relieves
Exo
In krimsky, 1mm deviation is equal to how many prism diopter
22
Pertinent entrance tests if there is a possible strab (6)
1) CT
2) EOMs
3) saccades
4) pursuits
5) hirschberg/krimsky
6) bruckner
Purpose of bruckner test
To evaluate the symmetry of binocular fixation
What patients will we typically used bruckner test on
Infants and young preverbal kids
Do kids where their correction for bruckner?
No
