IT IS AN INSTRUMENT WHICH COMPENSATES FOR THE ANGLE OF SQUINT AND ALLOWS THE STIMULI TO BE
PRESENTED TO BOTH EYES SIMULTANEOUSLY.

3.  IT IS AN OPHTHALMIC INSTRUMENT WHICH IS USED IS USED FOR DIAGNOSING
THE IMBALANCE OF THE EYE MUSCLE & TREATING THEM BY ORTHOPTIC
METHODS.
 Synoptophore compensates for the angle of squint and allows stimuli to be
presented to both eyes simultaneously.
 Synoptophore consists of two tubes, having a right-angled bend, mounted on a
base.
 Each tube contains a light source for illumination of slides and a slide carrier
at the outer end, a reflecting mirror at the right-angled bend and an eyepiece
of +6.5D at the inner end. The two tubes can move separately.

4.  Synaptophore is used for many diagnostic and therapeutic indications in
orthoptics.
 Synoptophore tests for sensory functions include: estimation of grades of
binocular vision.
 Detection of normal/abnormal retinal correspondence (ARC). It is done by
determining the subjective & objective angles of the squint.
