Named Transposition Surgeries


Superior HeCK
For SR:
          Helveston: with sclera
Callahan: MR/2 + LR/2
Knapp: MR + LR

Lateral HOJ
For LR:
          Hummelstein: SR + IR
          O’conors: SR + IR with LR cinch
          Jenson: SR/2 + IR/2

Mar Pet (mar-pit)
For MR:        
Peter’s: SO

Vergence Amplitude


cOnvergence amplitude: base Out prism
dIvergence amplitude: base In prism
(This is not difficult to understand once you apply logic, but here is a simple trick also)

FADEN operation


M for M, L for L

Most effective for MR
Least effective for LR

A and V patterns


VISA: V pattern IOOA, SOOA A pattern
MALE: for treatment, Medial rectus toward the Apex and Lateral rectus toward the Empty space

Actions of Superior oblique muscle

SOLID

Superior Oblique -
Lateral rotation (Abduction)
Intorsion
Depression

Nystagmus description

DWARF

Direction= plane of movement-horizontal, vertical
Waveform = Pendular or Jerky
Amplitude= fine or coarse
Rest= At primary position or gaze evoked
Frequency= How often the eye moves

Congenital nystagmus


CONGENITAL

Convergence & eye closure dampens
Oscillopsia absent
Null zone that is present, increases foveation time which results in increased acuity
Gaze poisition does not change the horizontal direction of nystagmus
Equal amplitude and frequency in each eye
Near acuity is good
Inversion of optokinetic response
Turning of head to acheive null point
Abolishes in sleep
Latent (occlusion) nystagmus occurs

Microtropia

3 A

Anisometropia
Angle small
Absent central field (Central suppression scotoma)

Crossed-Uncrossed Diplopia


eXotropia: X= crossed diplopia
esotropia: uncrossed diplopia

Uniocular diplopia

ABCD

Astigmatism
Behavioral: psychogenic
Cataract
Dislocated lens

DRS Types

Number of Ds equals the syndrome number

Type 1: abDuction
Type 2: aDDuction
Type 3: aDD and abDuction

Fourth nerve palsy


GOTS worse

Hypertropia Worse in
Gaze Opposite, Tilt Same

Anomalies of binocular vision

SACAD


Suppression
Amblyopia
Confusion
Abnormal retinal correspondence (ARC)
Diplopia

Rule of 6

6 months:
fixation reflex
macular stereopsis
accommodation reflex
6 years:
visual acuity (6/6)
binocular vision??

Squint management

ROOOP

Refraction
Occlusion
Orthoptics
Operative correction
Prism correction

Amblyopia Management

4O

Optical correction of refractive error
Occlusion therapy
Orthoptic exercise
Operative measures

Amblyopia Types

SAF-ON

Strabismic amblyopia
Anisometropic amblyopia
Form vision deprivation
Organic amblyopia
Nystagmus related amblyopia

Sagitalization and Desagitalization


Desagitalization Decreases Depression action of SO
And vice versa for sagitalization

Deviations of Eye

P for S, S for P

Primary deviation: Sound eye fixates
Secondary deviation: Paretic eye fixates

Exceptions to Law

·         Exception to Sherrington’s law: DRS
Exception to Hering’s law: DVD
