BINOCULAR VISION Vision achieved by co-ordinated use of both
eyes. The image which arise in each eye separately
are appreciated as a single mental impression Mainly three mechanisms
a) Sensory
b) Motor
c) Central

Motor Mechanism Concerned with maintenance of two eyes in
correct positional relationship at rest and during movement.
Motor mechanism includes following factorsAnatomical or static factor
Structure of orbits and their contents
Physiological or dynamic factors
404/11/23
Physiological factor
a) Postural reflex Movement of eyes co-ordinate during the movement of head relative to body or body relative to space.Independent of visual stimuli.
504/11/23
b) Psycho-optical reflexDependent on visual stimuli.Fixation reflexRe-fixation reflexConjugate reflexDisjunctive or vergence fixation reflexCorrective fusional reflex
604/11/23
c) Kinetic reflexMaintenance of two eyes in their correct relative positions within orbits as a result of a controlled accommodation convergence relationship.Accommodative convergenceConvergence induced accommodation

HETEROTROPIA: A manifest strabismus
HORIZONTAL- esotropia or exotropiaVERTICAL- hypertropia or hypotropiaTORSIONAL- incyclo or excyclodeviationCombined horizontal, vertical and/or
torsional
04/11/23 8
Concomitancy
Concomitant strabismusThe deviation does not vary in size with
direction of gaze or fixating eye Noncomitant strabismus
The deviation varies in size with direction of gaze or fixating eye
04/11/23 9
Observation of head posture
Patient with comitant horizontal heterotropias have normal head position.
Head position in nystagmus Possibility of head to turn into null direction
Patient having high U/L amblyopia turn their head away from amblyopic eye
10
Abnormal head positions common in connection with incomitant and paretic deviations
Purpose: relieve the paretic muscle sufficiently so that binocular single vision can be obtained.” -
Bielschowsky
04/11/23 11
Observation of head posture
Abnormal head position take either the form of tipping the chin up or down, a face turn or a head tilt to one shoulder.
Patient with A and V pattern deviation tend to carry head with chin depressed or elevated.
Patient with right lateral rectus paresis turn face to right.

OBJECTIVE TESTS
04/11/23 14
Determination of presence of deviation COVER TEST
Differentiates The deviation is latent or manifest The direction of deviation The fixation behavior Whether visual acuity is significantly
decreased in one eye
04/11/23 15
Factors to be specified during a cover testFactor specified Choices
Type of deviation Phoria or Tropia
Frequency (if strabismic) Constant or Intermittent
Laterality (if constant strabismic)
Unilateral or Alternating
Magnitude In prism diopters
Direction Eso, Exo, Hypo, Encyclo, Excyclo or combination
Comitancy Comitant or Incomitant
Refractive correction In Diopters
Test distance In meters16
PRISM and COVER TEST
There will be no movement of the eyes
when the selected prism
causes the image to fall on the
fovea.
04/11/23 17
Inaccuracy can be caused by
1. Inaccurate fixation due to blind eye2. Presence of eccentric fixation3. Inappropriate positioning of prism4. Effect of refractive correction
04/11/23 18
MEASUREMENT with the MAJOR AMBLYOSCOPE
Consists of 1.Chinrest2.Forehead rest3.Two tubes carrying targets seen
through an angled eye-piece one for each eye

Use Artificially performs cover tests Measure subjective and objective angle of deviation Measures horizontal, vertical, oblique deviation Measures fusion ranges Measures the grades of BSV Measure ARC, Suppression, stereopsis, Horror
Fusionis, measure foveal scotoma Useful in visual training
21
CORNEAL REFLECTION TESTS (Hirschberg Method)
Estimation/ measurement of the deviation by observing the first purkinje image
Especially preferred when:In young children, unable to maintain fixation for a
longer than a momentThe amount of deviation cannot be determined by
the prism and cover test or by any subjective tests.

Krimsky’s method
Prism is used to change the position of the corneal reflection in the deviating eye.
Amount of prism needed to reposition corneal reflection in the deviating eye to the normal position

Excyclotortion Incyclotortion
SUBJECTIVE TESTS
Based on Diploscopic principleHaploscopic principle
04/11/23 29
DIPLOSCOPIC TEST
Determination of the subjective localization of a single object point imaged on the fovea of the fixating eye and on extra-foveal retinal area in the other eye

Red glass test Tangent screen Maddox rod
Maddox wing Double Maddox rod Bagolini Striated lenses
Red glass test
A red glass is placed in front of one eye. Pt fixates a small light source and states whether the
red light is to the right or to the left and above or below the white light.
If the white fixation light is in the center of the maddox cross, pt must state the numbers near which the red light is seen.

04/11/23 32
Tangent screen test
A green Maddox rod is held before the pt’s right eye while the left eye views a scale of red trans-illuminated number.
The white light at the center of the scale produces the streak, while the red numbers and green colored rod eliminate the additional streaks
33
Maddox rod
Consists of small glass rods (a series of plano-convex cylinders in red or white) causes an astigmatic elongation of the fixation light
Produce a vertical or horizontal streak to measure the horizontal and vertical deviation.
04/11/23 34
35
Vertical rod to measure the vertical deviation
Maddox rod is oriented vertically in front of one eye and a measuring prism in other
Starting with 8 or 10 prism base up or base down prism the amount of prism power is gradually reduced until pt reports the horizontal streak goes through the spot
36
37
Horizontal rod to measure lateral phoria
Uses horizontally oriented distance test chart having a spot light in center and numbers or letters extending on either side
Horizontally oriented Maddox rod is placed in front of one eye and the pt is asked to report the position of the vertical streak, the number letter or through the spot.

Maddox wing
For amount of heterophoria in near fixation (1/3m) A vertical arrow is presented to one eye and a
horizontal tangent scale to the other to give the measurement of the horizontal phoria .
A horizontal arrow and vertical scale are used to measure the vertical imbalance.

Maddox double rod test
Quantitative determination of cyclodeviation Red and white maddox rods are placed in the trial
frame in front of each eye. Direction of glass rods is aligned with the 90° mark of
trial frame
A spot light is shown, for which the pt sees horizontal streaks.
If one line appears slanted toward the nose, excyclotropia is present.Maddox rod is turned until the red line is seen
parallel with the white line. E.g. toward the 100° mark of the right trial frame, 10° right exotropia is present
04/11/23 45
04/11/23 46
Bagolini striated glasses
Produce an image of a streak of light, perpendicular to the axis of striations when viewing a spot light.Prism can be added to shift the streaks of light
04/11/23 47
HAPLOSCOPIC TESTS
Two test objects rather than one are presented to the patient
Visual field of two eyes are differentiated and dissociated by presenting different target with major amblyoscopeEach eye with different color filter Polaroid projection
Lancaster test / R-G test
Uses a window shade type of screen (ruled into squares of 7cm) so that at distance of 2m each square subtends approx 2°
Pt wears red green reversible goggles 2 projectors are used Red with examiner Green patient Image formed by projector are linear and measured
In NRC, Separation of the streaks on the screen = deviation of the
visual axes
Titling of streak indicates presence of cyclotropia
Tilt of the retinal image is opposite to the tilt of the horizontal line as seen by the observer.
Von Graefe Method
The method of phoria measurement in which a dissociating prism is placed in front of one eye and a measuring prism in front of the other eye
The dissociating prism should be strong enough to cause diplopia
04/11/23 51
A base down prism is placed in front of one eye causes the image on the retina to be displaced downward, below the macular area, so the object that formerly was seen straight ahead is then seen as being displaced upward
04/11/23 52
Measuring lateral phoria
Target: vertical line of 20/20 letters A vertical prism of 7/8 pd is placed in front of one
eye A base in prism as the measuring prism in other eye Pt is asked to report when the two columns of letters
are on the same level. Prism power is reduced until the patient reports
alignment.
53
Measuring vertical phoria
When dissociating for the vertical phoria measurement, base in prism is used
Eyes are able to make much larger fusional convergence movements than fusional divergence movements.
15pd BI in one eye and a measuring prism BU or BD in other eye
04/11/23 54
Target: a horizontal row of 20/20 letters on the chart at 6m or 40cm.
Pt is asked to report when the two rows of letters are on the same level.
Prism power is reduced until the patient reports alignment.
