Vision therapy/orthoptics for symptomatic convergence insufficiency in children: treatment kinetics.
Abstract
The rate of improvement is more rapid for clinical signs (NPC and PFV) than for symptoms in children undergoing treatment for CI. OBVAT results in a more rapid improvement in symptoms, NPC and PFV, and a greater percentage of patients reaching pre-determined criteria of success when compared with HB...

Abstract
Orthoptics acts to change the time constant and magnitude of vergence adaptation to BO prisms, which leads to a concomitant reduction of CA over a similar time course. This process appears to underlie the increase in positive fusion limits. Although reductions in CA/C ratio occur under the vergence...

Abstract
The work deals with the results of surgical treatment of 155 patients, who had uveal cataract, by method of facoemulsification with artificial crystalline lens transplanting. The age of the sick varied from 3 to 15 as a result of a complex treatment, involving determination of ethnic factor in the d...

We highlight that there is a lack of evidence for best practice and a need for not only high-quality clinical studies but also a better understanding of current practice patterns among clinicians so as to inform future research....

Abstract
Laser refractive surgery is a lively developing branch of ophthalmology. There are a numbers of contraindications for this type of surgery, but many of them are difficult to define, for example binocular vision impairment. Accurate analysis of orthoptic examination before refractive surgery, has for...

Abstract
VEP curves were found to change with visual acuity of the amblyopic eye. A statistically significant correlation was obtained between amplitude values and visual acuity as well as between latency values and visual acuity (P<0.001 both). DISCUSSION: Some authors have reported differences in VEP curve...

Abstract
Abstract
We identified the primary factors that influence the outcome of strabismus surgery. For each of the human-error related factors we quantified variation with clinical assessments: measurement of the angle of strabismus, surgical strategy and surgical accuracy. Firstly, six patients were examined by s...

Ophthalmic Epidemiology (16)5 2009
Abstract
Compared to the parental literacy support group, convergence insufficiency symptoms were reduced 36 weeks post-randomization amongst those receiving the Lawson orthoptic intervention (mean difference -5.55; 95% confidence interval (CI): -11.1 to -0.05, P < 0.05). Stereoacuity, measured by the Lang t...

Abstract
Abstract
Fresnel prisms have a lesser effect on the visual acuity of amblyopic eyes than on controls. In contrast, results for peak contrast sensitivity were very similar for each of the groups tested, and no significant differences were evident between the amblyopic, sound, and control eyes....

Abstract
Ineffective orthoptic treatment (patching) in amblyopic children should prompt the ophthalmologist to a meticulous fundoscopy, even if done so before patching, which is highly recommended. This young patient had no "everyday" visual symptoms. Because mainly the temporal fovea on both sides was affec...

Abstract
We studied the development of the visual acuity during a period of 6 months. Our cooperating partners of this prospective multicenter study were strabologic departments in ophthalmic clinics and private practices as well. For the issue of therapy control, a partial sample of 55 patients from an over...

Abstract
Strabismus is characterized by a manifest deviation of the visual axes and secondary sensory deteriorations. Strabismus is a frequent affection which primarily involved the child, during early life. It is a frequent and severe disease (3 to 4% of the French population), if untreated the prognosis is...

Abstract
Binocular vision measured with stereo-acuity tests was normal in dyslexics. In contrast, the near point of convergence was significantly more remote in dyslexics; most importantly, divergence at both far and near distance was significantly more reduced in dyslexics (median value 4 pD and 10 pD, resp...

Abstract
The questionnaire was completed by 46 orthoptists. Large diversity between orthoptists in their treatment application was found. This related mostly to the intensity of occlusion treatment. CONCLUSION: Treatment variability continues to exist between orthoptists. Further investigations evaluating th...

Orthoptic exercises are an effective means of reducing symptoms in patients with convergence insufficiency and decompensating exophoria, and appear to target the proximal and fusional components of convergence. Their role in esophoria is unclear and needs further study....

Abstract
Although orthokeratology significantly reduced manifest refraction and improved uncorrected visual acuity, the asymmetry component, which is one of the features of irregular astigmatism, increased significantly from 0.35 +/- 0.22 to 0.64 +/- 0.40 D after treatment (P < 0.0001, paired t test). The in...

Abstract
Poor parental fluency in the national language, a low level of education, and poor acuity at the start of treatment were predictors of low compliance. An educational program primarily aimed at the child improved compliance and reduced the number of children who did not comply with occlusion at all....

Orthoptic anomalies are prevalent: they are encountered in at least 5% of patients seen in a typical primary eyecare practice. Several cases are reviewed that highlight the role of contact lenses in treating orthoptic anomalies. In particular, contact lenses are the preferred optical approach to the...

Interventions that aim to improve compliance should take account of the difficulties and tensions experienced by parents, rather than simply treating non-compliance as resulting from information deficits. Practical support that builds on strategies described by parents is likely to be of benefit....
