Study Notes
Ocular Motility Testing
- Testing ocular motility in 6 cardinal directions of gaze (Right gaze, Left gaze, Up gaze, Down gaze, Right up gaze, Right down gaze) helps to identify any abnormalities in eye movement, such as limited or uneven movement.
Monocular Movement (Duction)
- Monocular movement is assessed by asking the patient to look at a fixed point, then covering one eye and observing the movement of the uncovered eye.
Importance of History Taking in Strabismus
- Proper history taking is crucial in cases of strabismus (squint) to identify the onset, duration, and progression of the condition, as well as any associated symptoms or family history.
Binocular Conjugate Movements (Versions)
- Binocular conjugate movements are assessed by asking the patient to look at a fixed point and then move their eyes together in different directions, observing any lack of coordination or alignment.
Definition of Strabismus
- Strabismus (squint) is defined as a misalignment of the eyes, where the eyes do not point in the same direction, resulting in a lack of binocular vision.
