  • Management of Microtropia
    Br J Ophthalmol: first published as 10.1136/bjo.58.3.281 on 1 March 1974. Downloaded from Brit. J. Ophthal. (I974) 58, 28 I Management of microtropia J. LANG Zirich, Switzerland Microtropia or microstrabismus may be briefly described as a manifest strabismus of less than 50 with harmonious anomalous correspondence. Three forms can be distinguished: primary constant, primary decompensating, and secondary. There are three situations in which the ophthalmologist may be confronted with micro- tropia: (i) Amblyopia without strabismus; (2) Hereditary and familial strabismus; (3) Residual strabismus after surgery. This may be called secondary microtropia, for everyone will admit that in most cases of convergent strabismus perfect parallelism and bifoveal fixation are not achieved even after expert treatment. Microtropia and similar conditions were not mentioned by such well-known early copyright. practitioners as Javal, Worth, Duane, and Bielschowsky. The views of Maddox (i898), that very small angles were extremely rare, and that the natural tendency to fusion was much too strong to allow small angles to exist, appear to be typical. The first to mention small residual angles was Pugh (I936), who wrote: "A patient with monocular squint who has been trained to have equal vision in each eye and full stereoscopic vision with good amplitude of fusion may in 3 months relapse into a slight deviation http://bjo.bmj.com/ in the weaker eye and the vision retrogresses". Similar observations of small residual angles have been made by Swan, Kirschberg, Jampolsky, Gittoes-Davis, Cashell, Lyle, Broadman, and Gortz. There has been much discussion in both the British Orthoptic Journal and the American Orthoptic journal on the cause of this condition and ways of avoiding it.

  • Classification of Strabismus
    Classification of strabismus Pr Dr Monique Cordonnier Université Libre de Bruxelles Most prominent feature to have in mind = BINOCULAR VISION potential ? Yes or No If the strabismus was present during the first 6- 8 months of life, there is no This potential means that potential for treatment (……) may restore normal binocular binocularity, warranting vision stability and avoiding recurrences Binocular vision = eyes are like wheels on the rails of a railtrack 1 What is BINOCULAR VISION ? 1. Normal - Bifoveolar fixation with normal visual acuity in each eye, no strabismus, no diplopia, normal retinal correspondence, normal fusional vergence amplitudes, normal stereopsis. 2. Subnormal (abnormal) – 1 or more of the following; anomalous retinal correspondence, suppression, deficient to no stereopsis, amblyopia, decreased fusional vergence amplitudes. 3. Absence of Binocular Vision - no simultaneous perception, no fusion, no stereopsis Besides, the classification of strabismus is based on a number of features including : . The relative position of the eyes . The time of onset (=clue for binocular vision potential), . Whether the deviation is intermittent (=clue for binocular vision potential) or constant . Whether the deviation is comitant (supranuclear cause) or incomitant (nuclear or infranuclear cause, clue for binocular vision potential if the eyes are straight in one position) . According to the associated refractive error (accommodative strabismus) 2 Most common types of strabismus in children Supranuclear causes Paralytic, muscular or

First edition 2006 Second edition 2012. International Council of Ophthalmology Residency Curriculum Introduction “Teaching the Teachers” The International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO) is committed to leading efforts to improve ophthalmic education to meet the growing need for eye care worldwide. To enhance educational programs and ensure best practices are available, the ICO focuses on "Teaching the Teachers," and offers curricula, conferences, courses, and resources to those involved in ophthalmic education. By providing ophthalmic educators with the tools to become better teachers, we will have better-trained ophthalmologists and professionals throughout the world, with the ultimate result being better patient care. Launched in 2012, the ICO’s Center for Ophthalmic Educators, educators.icoph.org, offers a broad array of educational tools, resources, and guidelines for teachers of residents, medical students, subspecialty fellows, practicing ophthalmologists, and allied eye care personnel. The Center enables resources to be sorted by intended audience and guides ophthalmology teachers in the construction of web-based courses, development and use of assessment tools, and applying evidence-based strategies for enhancing adult learning. The interactive feature, “Connections,” is the Center’s dynamic focal point, where ophthalmic educators can share ideas and collaborate with peers. The Center builds on the ICO’s original interactive online educational presence: World Ophthalmology Residency Development (WORD), which was developed in 2008 by Eduardo Mayorga, MD, ICO Director for E-Learning, and Gabriela Palis, MD, Editor-in-Chief, Center for Ophthalmic Educators.

    CURRICULUM, STATUTES & REGULATIONS FOR MS OPHTHALMOLOGY RAWALPINDI MEDICAL UNIVERSITY I PREFACE The horizons of Medical Education are widening & there has been a steady rise of global interest in Post Graduate Medical Education, an increased awareness of the necessity for experience in education skills for all healthcare professionals and the need for some formal recognition of postgraduate training in Ophthalmology. We are seeing a rise in the uptake of places on postgraduate courses in medical education, more frequent issues of medical education journals and the further development of e-journals and other new online resources. There is therefore a need to provide active support in Post Graduate Medical Education for a larger, national group of colleagues in all specialties and at all stages of their personal professional development. If we were to formulate a statement of intent to explain the purpose of this log book, we might simply say that our aim is to help clinical colleagues to teach and to help students to learn in a better and advanced way. This book is a state of the art log book with representation of all activities of the MS Ophthalmology program at RMU.A summary of the curriculum is incorporated in the logbook for convenience of supervisors and residents. MS curriculum is based on six Core Competencies of ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education) including Patient Care, Medical Knowledge, System Based Practice, Practice Based Learning, Professionalism, Interpersonal and Communication Skills. A perfect monitoring system of a training program including monitoring of teaching and learning strategies, assessment and Research Activities cannot be denied so we at RMU have incorporated evaluation by Quality Assurance Cell and its comments in the logbook in addition to evaluation by University Training Monitoring Cell (URTMC).

  • Suppression in Strabismus an Update
    Br J Ophthalmol: first published as 10.1136/bjo.68.3.174 on 1 March 1984. Downloaded from British Journal ofOphthalmology, 1984, 68, 174-178 Suppression in strabismus an update J. A. PRATT-JOHNSON AND G. TILLSON From the Department ofOphthalmology, University ofBritish Columbia, Vancouver, and the Department ofOphthalmology, Children's Hospital, Vancouver, BC, Canada SUMMARY Previous reports have described suppression scotomas, suppression varying with the type of strabismus and suppression confined to one halfofthe retina (hemiretinal suppression). Our findings show that suppression in all varieties of strabismus, with the exception of the monofixation syndrome, involves the whole of the visual field of the deviating eye except for its monocular temporal crescent. In the monofixation syndrome our findings show a small central suppression scotoma involving the fovea but leaving the rest ofthe visual field of the deviating eye unsuppressed. We could find no evidence to support the concept of hemiretinal suppression but found evidence to support the presence of a trigger mechanism for suppression which operates on a hemiretinal basis. The sensory adaptations of suppression, anomalous demonstrate the presence of a trigger mechanism for retinal correspondence (ARC), and amblyopia which suppression. As a result of our experiments we have occur in strabismus with onset during visual been able to look again at the literature on immaturity have been extensively studied by a variety suppression and realise the differences between our ofmethods. The investigation of all these adaptations findings and those of previous researchers result from has been limited by the difficulty of providing test the various testing methods used.
