Basic Strabismus Evaluation

•  Chief complaint and History

•  Vision assessment (with vision screening)

•  Gross evaluation and slit lamp examination

•  Refraction and need for cycloplegia

•  Sensory & Motor examination (Motility Examination)

•  Dilated posterior pole evaluation

Sensory Testing

•  Perform before any type of monocular occlusion •  e.g., visual acuity testing, cover tests

•  Must wear correct prescription

•  May need to correct deviation

•  Prefer to do on a second visit

Sensory Testing

•  Near stereoacuity •  Fly vectograph/ Titmus Fly Test •  Lang stereotest •  Random dot stereograms

•  Distance stereoacuity •  Mentor BVAT •  AO vectograph •  Amblyoscope

Stereoacuity tests

•  Horizontal disparity

•  Stimulate non-corresponding points

•  Image disparity measured in sec of arc

•  40-50 sec = central or bifoveal fixation

•  80-3000 sec = peripheral fusion

Titmus fly test

•  Monocular cues

•  Need polarized glasses

•  Image displacement may be detected by alternate suppressors

•  Turn book 90 degrees, should be flat

From Rosenbaum & Santiago, Clinical Strabismus Management

Lang Stereoacuity test

•  Random dot stereogram

•  No need for Polaroid lenses

•  Only for gross and low grade stereopsis


Random Dot Stereogram

•  2 plates of randomly displayed dots, one plate to each eye

•  Shape of figure displaced horizontally relative to other plate

•  No monocular cues

•  Normal may fail


Distance Stereotest

•  Mentor BVAT System

•  Very good test for assessing control in X(T)



Red-Green Distance Stereotest

Sensory Testing

•  Worth 4 dot •  near: tests peripheral fusion •  distance: tests central fusion

•  Retinal correspondence •  amblyoscope, Bagolini lenses

•  4 pd BO test: foveal suppression •  N: conjug sacc OU, slow recov in nonprism eye

Worth Dot Test

•  2 green lights

•  1 red light

•  1 white light

•  Red-green glasses

•  Usually red over right eye

•  At 1/3 m: •  W4D separated by 6 degrees

•  Tests peripheral fusion

•  At 6 m: •  1.25 degrees

•  Tests central fusion

MODIFIED KRIMSKY

Motor Testing: Cover Tests

•  Primary gaze

•  Right and left gaze

•  Up and down gaze

•  Right and left head tilt

•  Oblique gazes, occasionally

•  Near: primary and down gaze

Cover Tests

•  Requirements: •  Appropriate correction

•  Know if correction has no prisms or with prisms

•  Accommodative target

•  Distance: •  6 m: 1/6 D of accommodation

•  (approximates infinity)

•  > 6 m: X(T)

The Ideal Target

•  Above threshold •  e.g. Snellen acuity 20/20

•  present 20/50 to 20/70

The Ideal Target

•  With sufficient detail and contour

•  Should sustain interest

Toys as Targets

•  One toy one look

•  With detail

•  May be coupled with a light

•  Sounds for tracking but not vision testing

The Ideal Target

•  Maximum plus, least minus correction

•  Allows minimal accommodation at 6 m

•  Accommodation exerted only 1/6 Diopter, considered zero for strabismus measurement purposes

Factors Affecting Measurement

•  Prism placement: •  plastic prisms: frontal

plane •  glass prisms: prentice

position

•  Stacking prisms

•  Splitting prisms



•  Method of testing: •  Light reflex:

•  Bruckner

•  Hirschberg

•  Krimsky/modified Krimsky

•  Different cover tests •  Cover Test

•  Alternate Cover Test



•  Patient factors: •  Accommodation and AC/A ratio

•  Axial length and globe size

•  Amblyopia and eccentric fixation

•  Refractive error and induced prisms

Cover Tests

Cover Uncover Test

•  Must be performed before alternate cover test •  Cover test: tropia

•  Uncover test: phoria

•  also for fixation preference

Alternate Prism Cover Test

•  Prisms before deviated eye •  primary vs. secondary deviation

•  Unless strabismic eye is preferred for fixation

•  Evaluates total deviation: manifest (tropic) and latent (phoric)

ALTERNATE PRISM & COVER TEST

Gold standard for measuring deviation


Simultaneous Prism Cover Test

•  Tropia under binocular conditions

•  Monofixation syndrome •  Estimate angle of deviation

•  Present prism and cover simultaneously

•  Absence of movement in tropic eye means correcting prisms are accurate

SIMULTANEOUS PRISM & COVER TEST

Used for monofixation


Prism Under Cover Test

•  For Dissociated Vertical Deviation

•  Evaluate one eye at a time

•  Prism and cover presented to the same eye

•  Separate true hypertropia by using BU prism neutralization in other eye

paretic

•  response suppressed by GA

•  still used in some cases of Duane syndrome and Botulinum injection


•  Children > 7 yrs, adults

•  Topical anesthetic

•  Cover one eye: ensures fixation

•  Look as far as possible in the direction of limited ocular rotation

•  Provide fixation target

•  Watch out for “falling off” of eye


“Can the forceps rotate the eye further than the patient can using maximal innervation in that gaze field?”

•  Grasp limbus opposite the side of limited gaze •  Tenon’s and conj fused in one layer •  limits stretching/tearing of conj •  provides firm grasp


•  Follow natural arc of globe

•  For rectus muscles •  Slight proptosis •  No retroplacement

•  Vertical rectus: 23 deg abduction

•  Results: •  cannot move globe further: restriction •  can move globe further: paresis

® For Oblique Muscles: ® Retroplace globe ® Follow oblique muscle path

® Guyton’s Oblique Traction Test ® “Stress Test” for obliques ® Retroplace globe ® Torsional movement


Oblique traction testing


Intraoperative Forced Duction Testing

•  Perform routinely to feel “normal”

•  Perform esp after resections •  may be ortho in primary •  overcorrection in certain gazes

Active Force Generation

•  Differential IOP

•  Paresis vs. palsy

•  Combined paresis and restriction

Results: Force Generation

•  No force generated: Palsy

•  Weak force generated: Paresis

•  Strong force generated: Restriction

•  Common pitfall: mild paresis

•  Correlate with saccadic velocity analysis
