What will the UCT evaluate? What results do you find? Having a (+) ____ will contaminate the UCT results
Whether bifixation present under associated conditions; Determines direction and eye laterality (ONLY estimates frequency and magnitude); +EF
T/F Must make sure pt is wearing best correction during UCT, not ACT.
False, both UCT and ACT must have best rx
What's the difference between primary vertical and secondary vertical?
Primary: present when eyes are in ortho alignment.
Sec: present only when eyes are misaligned (why you need to neutralize horizontal before vertical)
How do high spectacle powers change a pts deviation on ACT?
>+5.00 will DECREASE measured deviation;
>-5.00D will INCREASE deviation
Equation for calculated AC/A?
AC/A = pd(cm) + m(<Dn - <Df)
What is the 4 BO prism test used for? In which case is it especially useful? Does the pt focus at near or distance?
Assesses whether there is bifoveal fusion or suppression of one fovea; small angle ET; Distance
Double maddox rod test: If RE is rotated EXtorsionally, how would red line be rotated if red lens over RE?
Red line would need to be rotated INtorsionally (toward nose)
What are the 3 general etiological factors that cause strabismus?
anatomical, optical, innervational
Most concomitant deviations are __________ in origin, whereas most nonconcomitant deviations are from what type of origin?
Supranuclear; Nuclear or infranuclear
According to Rush & Younge, what are the 3 most common causes of 3, 4, 6 nerve paresis in adults? Children?
Adults: Trauma, vascular, neoplasm; Kids: acute viral illness, trauma, congenital.
Which type of deviation, concomitant or nonconcomitant, may represent a life-threatening situation? Which diagnostic question would you ask?
Nonconcomitant; Ask about diplopia (can attribute to brain)
What is the most likely reason for muscle overaction?
underacting contralateral synergist (Hering's law of equal innervation)
What would you suspect if your pt came in with their head tilted toward their RIGHT shoulder?
Left SO underaction
What is the difference between primary vs secondary deviations on ACT?
Primary: normal eye fixating, prism in front of deviated eye.
Sec: Paretic eye fixating, prism in front of normal eye.
During direct observation, how can you determine if an abnormal head position is ocular torticollis or congenital torticollis?
Ocular - tilt will go away with patching; congenital - tilt remains with patching
When would you do duction testing? Forced duction testing?
Duction: when see UA on version testing; FD: When see UA on duction testing (determines if mechanical or innervational cause)
During forced duction testing, what type of anomaly do you suspect if (+) restriction? (-) restriction?
(+) = mechanical;
(-) = paresis (eye moves when forced)
Which test is good for determining newly acquired paresis?
Past pointing (spatial localization testing)
Which will be greater in pd, primary deviations or secondary deviations? Why?
Secondary because paretic eye is fixating (prism over normal eye). So highest amount of prism to fix underaction will be in the problematic eye.
The two subjective diagnostic testing methods Red lens/maddox rod and Hess-Lancaster assume what about the pt?
They do not have AC or deep suppression
What are the classifications for nonconcomitant deviations?
<5pd = Concomitant
6-10pd = Mild
11-15pd = Moderate
>15pd = Marked
Who is most likely at risk for developing consecutive XT?
Moderately sized ET with +4.5D or greater hyperopia and poor potential for normal BV
What would you see on ACT if your pt had a dissociated vertical deviation (DVD)?
Spontaneous turning of one or both eyes upward
What would you see on versions if your patient had bilateral overacting Inferior Oblique’s (IOs)?
Upward and nasal movement
What types of A-V pattern stabismus are most common? Least?
V-Eso > A-Eso > V-Exo > A-Exo
How to you differentiate paretic vs. Nonparetic strabismus?
Paretic = Acute, sudden, diplopic, differing primary/secondary deviation, past-pointing; Nonparetic = chronic, childhood, no head posture
How do you differentiate congenital/old vs recent paralysis?
Recent - diplopia always present, incomitant, past-pointing Congenital - toticollis
What are the three stages that a recent paresis may under go?
1)Weakness of paretic muscle, followed by OA of its direct antagonist. 2)Contracture of direct antagonist. 3) Spread of concomitancy
Which paralysis would cause the eye to turn down and out? What also accompanys this paralysis?
Complete third nerve palsy; ptosis and fixed, dilated pupil
What are the most common causes of complete 3rd nerve palsies?
(1) Undetermined. (2) Vascular. (3) Trauma. (4) Aneurysm
VTA
Superior rectus paresis will present with what?
hypo-deviation of affected eye and limitation of elevation when eye is abducted. Often head is tilted AWAY from affected side
What is a ddx of superior rectus paresis?
mechanical (limited elevation) or thyroid myopathy
Medial rectus paresis will present with what?
limited/absence of adduction, probable XT in primary gaze, face turned TOWARD affected side
Which palsies would present with pt head tilted TOWARD affected side? AWAY from affected side?
MR, LR, IR, and IO paresis would have pt present tilted toward side; SR, SO(CN4) would be away
What are the most common etiologies for CN4 SO palsy in adults? Children?
Trauma, Vascular, Neoplasms (TVN); Congenital, trauma, inflammation (CTI)
What are the most common etiologies for CN6 LR palsy in adults? Children?
Vascular, trauma, neoplasm (VTN); Neoplasm, trauma, inflammation (NTI)
What kind of oculomotor anomaly is endocrine myopathy often associated with?
Graves
Which test that DIRECTLY asses the angle of anomaly is NOT effected by (+) EF?
Maculo-macula test of cuppers (bifoveal test)
What do the 3 categories of Duane's syndrome look like?
I: AbDuction deficit
II: ADDuction deficit
III: AbDuction and aDDuction deficit.
In acute-onset esotropia, whould should NOT be present?
Amblyopia, suppression or AC
