    Article • A Case Series in Optometric Management of Diverse Vertical Deviations Darah McDaniel-Chandler, OD • Southern College of Optometry Memphis, Tennessee ABSTRACT Background: Vertical deviations present in diverse patient populations with a multitude of puzzling symptoms and complaints. Many patients with vertical deviations have visited numerous doctors looking for an explanation for their symptoms of dizziness, headaches, motion sickness, and double vision. Vertical deviations may be apparent in the clinical optometric exam sequence, but at other times, additional testing must be performed to uncover a vertical heterophoria, including fixation disparity, vertical vergences, a period of diagnostic occlusion, or Maddox rod. Case Report: Three case reports are reviewed with diverse presentations of vertical deviations. The first case report outlines Patient A, a 51-year-old female who presented with dizziness along with a latent hyperphoria that was not apparent on the initial clinical examination. The second case report outlines Patient B, a 52-year-old female who presented with a longstanding large-angle vertical strabismus with strabismic amblyopia in the right eye. The third case report outlines Patient C, a 61-year-old female who presented with intermittent vertical diplopia following a cerebrovascular accident. The three cases all underwent vision therapy or vision therapy in combination with prismatic correction, and all three cases experienced symptom reduction following treatment with optometric vision rehabilitation.

Convergence Insufficiency is a binocular vision disorder, characterized by reduced abil- ity of performing convergence eye movements. Absence of convergence causes, eye strain, blurred vision, doubled vision, headaches, and difficulty reading due frequent loss of place. These symptoms commonly occur during near work. The purpose of this study was to quantify neural correlates associated with convergence eye movements in convergence in- sufficient (CI) patients vs.

  • Care of the Patient with Accommodative and Vergence Dysfunction
    OPTOMETRIC CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINE Care of the Patient with Accommodative and Vergence Dysfunction OPTOMETRY: THE PRIMARY EYE CARE PROFESSION Doctors of optometry are independent primary health care providers who examine, diagnose, treat, and manage diseases and disorders of the visual system, the eye, and associated structures as well as diagnose related systemic conditions. Optometrists provide more than two-thirds of the primary eye care services in the United States. They are more widely distributed geographically than other eye care providers and are readily accessible for the delivery of eye and vision care services. There are approximately 36,000 full-time-equivalent doctors of optometry currently in practice in the United States. Optometrists practice in more than 6,500 communities across the United States, serving as the sole primary eye care providers in more than 3,500 communities. The mission of the profession of optometry is to fulfill the vision and eye care needs of the public through clinical care, research, and education, all of which enhance the quality of life.

  • Persistent Strabismus After Cataract Extraction
    Број 9 ВОЈНОСАНИТЕТСКИ ПРЕГЛЕД Страна 689 UDC: 617.741−004.1−089.168.1−06 CASE REPORT Persistent strabismus after cataract extraction Mirjana P. Dujić*, Katarina R. Misailović*, Milena M. Kovačević† Clinical Center Zvezdara, *Department of Ophthalmology, †Center of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Belgrade Background. Transient ocular misalignment as a complication of parabulbar and peribul- bar anesthesia has already been reported in the literature. The aim of our study was to pre- sent a case of irreversible iatrogenic vertical strabismus after cataract surgery, which had to be operated on. Methods. Clinical and orthoptic evaluation of a female patient with ver- tical diplopia after phacoemulsification cataract surgery. Results. One week after the un- eventful surgery, a 68-year-old patient complained of a sudden vertical deviation in the op- erated eye. The patient had not had a history of previous motility disorders. On examina- tion, the patient showed hypertropia in the left eye of 15−20 degrees in primary position. Three and 6 months postoperatively, there was no a spontaneous improvement, while the persistent vertical deviation was 40 prism dioptres. Strabismus surgery was required 1 year after the cataract surgery. Conclusion. Diplopia is a complication of peribulbar an- esthesia which could be persistent. The superior and inferior rectus muscle are especially vulnerable. Its occurrence may be technique - related and the incidence increases when hyaluronidase is not available.
