(2-4PM, ALL DAYS EXCEPT SATURDAY)
AIM OF PRESENTATION
 Importance of knowing Orthoptics
 Overview of Sports Vision N new fascinating stuff
Jinx of AC/A ratio measurement
Synaptophore – made easy.
WHAT ARE WE EVALUATING??
Ortho
=
Straight
Opticas
=
Vision
Orthoptics
Orthoptics = literally means "straightening of the eyes", dates back to the 1850s
limited in scope to eye-muscle training and the cosmetic straightening of eyes.
Vision therapy = includes Orthoptics + include training and rehabilitation of the eye-brain
connections involved in vision.
ORTHOPTIST :-
They specialize in study of ocular
motility & visual development &
master themselves in non –surgical
treatment.
ORTHOPTIST + OPHTHALMOLOGIST :-
Diagnose visual system dysfunction
(Vision (lazy eye) , Eye Movement (Versions & Vergences ,
Eye Alignment (Squints) , Binocularity (BSV)
ORTHOPTICS :-
Focuses on NON- SURGICAL treatment of
Amblyopia ,Strabismus , Diplopia
WHAT ALL WE CHECK IN ORTHOPTICS?
1. CONVERGENCE
2. ACCOMODATION
3. BSV ( SMP/ FUSION/ STEREOPSIS)
TOOLS FOR OBJECTIVE ORTHOPTIC EVALUATION
• a
•Convergence is ability to move eyes inside B/L
•Driven by 3 things – Accommodation , Fusion , Proximity.
•* Whenever there is pathology in either 3, NPC will be reduced.
•C/F:- Blurred Vision , Diplopia , Brow Pain
CONVERGENCE

Accomodation Paralysis
Accommodative Dysfunction
C/F:-
Headache,
Poor Concentration
Blurred Vision after near work
C/F:-
Diplopia
Eye Brow Pain

Heavy Lid
Blurred Vision
Convergence
Insufficiency
Divergence Excess
(>10 pd difference b/w near & distance)
Divergence
Insufficiency
Convergence Excess
FUSION
Ability to Maintain Fusion B/L with Accomodation Kept Constant
It comes from Retinal Correspondence
Concept of Break Point & Recovery Point.
