Strabismus

Strabismus A camera lens focuses patterns of light onto film which records the image exactly. If the lens is out of focus or partially covered, a b lurry or obscured picture will result. The film is a recording device, it does not interpret and select what it portrays. Images from a camera are objective in a very literal sense. Seeing, however, is not such a seamless process. Our eyes work similarly to a camera in that they have a lens which focuses a real image on our retina, a light sensitive

treatments are producing encouraging improvements among adult amblyopes Vedamurthy, Nahum, Bavelier and Levi (2015), Li et al., (2013), posing important implications for clinical practice. The aim of this essay is to explain amblyopia with reference to ‘strabismus and anisometropia’. To discuss traditional methods and newly developed binocular treatments that aim to address the binocular dysfunction of the amblyopic brain. Amblyopia occurs during the first 3 years of life Levi et al (2015) and doesn’t develop

(Rose, 1998). Because the eye is not fully developed at birth (Jarvis, 1992, as cited in Rose, 1998), infants need stimulation to complete the visual neural pathway. When one or both eyes are inhibited, for example due to misalignment of one eye (strabismus) or a large difference in refractive power between two eyes (anisometropia), the neural pathway for the inhibited eye develops abnormally, or does not develop at all. At

PREVALENCE OF NON STRABISMIC VERGENCE DYSFUNCTIONS IN AN ORTHOPTIC CLNIC INTRODUCTION In the preceding generations, fine distance visual acuity and stereoscopic vision were of paramount importance, since the survival depended absolutely on the capability to farm, hunt and fish. But today, the emphasis has shifted virtually from distance visual functions to two dimensional near visual tasks such as desk work, reading, computer usage etc.The presence of non strabismic binocular dysfunctions such

ophthalmologist’s educational background wouldn’t pay much attention to. For me, the word amblyopia makes every single experience in my life vastly different. When I was very young, about 2 years old, I was diagnosed with Amblyopia with Strabismus. Amblyopia with Strabismus is a disorder affecting the quality of vision as well as the alignment of the eyes in approximately 2 to 3 percent of the world. After countless ventures to my eye doctor and hundreds of tests, it was found that I had 20/2400 vision

Benign Essential Blepharospasm, Adult Benign essential blepharospasm (BEB) is a nervous system condition that makes a person close his or her eyes without meaning to. The blinking may gradually become more frequent and forceful, and eventually involve both eyes. This can make it hard for you to keep your eyes open and do activities such as watching television or reading. Without treatment, the eyes may close forcefully for long periods of time. CAUSES The exact cause of BEB is not known. BEB

During my sophomore year of highschool, I started to get migraines every single day. All the women on my mom’s side of my family get them, so I just assumed it was hereditary and would go away. At the same time, it was marching season. Every time I would play my clarinet, the migraines would get so much worse. At the end of the year, I had an eye exam. Dr. Labhart was really concerned about the pressure because it was way higher than it should be. Since he doesn’t specialize in this, he referred

Introduction Benign essential blepharospasm (BEB) is a nervous system condition that makes a person close his or her eyes without meaning to do it. The blinking or spasms may gradually become more frequent and forceful, and eventually involve both eyes. This can make it hard for you to keep your eyes open and do activities such as watching television or reading. Without treatment, the eyes may close forcefully for long periods of time. What are the causes? The exact cause of this condition is not

occur from birth or develop as the person ages. Strabismus is an eye muscle problem in which the eyes are not aligned properly and point in different directions. There are three different types of strabismus. The types are: esotropia, exotropia and hypertropia. I have personally had strabismus. Last year, I had strabismus surgery to correct my “wandering eye”. Today, I will discuss strabismus, what causes it, and how it can be treated. Strabismus occurs when both eyes do not look at the same
