purpose: to evaluate the effect of successful surgical alignment on improvement of binocular vision in adults with childhood strabismus methods: in a prospective interventional study, consecutive patients with childhood-onset, comitant, horizontal and constant strabismus who had successful postoperative alignment were enrolled. preoperative and postoperative binocular vision testing was perform...

purpose: to determine stereopsis with local (titmus) and global (tno) tests in symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects according to induced disparity (crossed or uncrossed). methods: in this cross sectional study, 80 students of zahedan university of medical sciences who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were randomly selected. at first, refractive error was determined by retinoscopy and then base...

conclusions the x-intercepts (point at which the fdc crosses the x-axis) were on average more in the base-in direction, y-intercepts (point at which the fdc crosses the y-axis) were shifted in the exo direction, and slopes were steeper in the symptomatic group. results there were more subjects with exo fixation disparity than eso fixation disparity in the study sample. the means for fixation di...

purpose : patients with infantile or childhood strabismus who do not achieve visual axes alignment early in life are believed to have poor prognosis with respect to the stereopsis. this study investigates the binocularity and stereopsis following delayed surgical alignment in patients with congenital and early-onset strabismus. patients & methods : 36 patients aged between 6-30 years participat...

purpose: to report the results of orthoptic training in two middle-aged patients according to current theories. case report: a 56-year-old female with decompensated exophoria and myopia and a 68-year-old male with decompensated esophoria and moderate hyperopia underwent vision therapy according to standard procedures for improving fusional vergences and ocular accommodation. sheard and percival...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of vertical prism induced stress on binocular visual evoked potentials. methods: using checkerboard stimulus patterns in two spatial frequencies (sfs) of 0.48 cpd as a low sf and 2.18 cpd as a moderate sf reversing with temporal frequency of 4 hz, the effect of increasing visual stress using vertical prisms of 0, 1, 2 and 3 prism diopters on binocular visual evok...
