Amblyogenic Strabismus
Constant Unilateral strabismus at distance AND near with an onset before age 7
Expected VA
: 20/40-20/100
can be worse
Amblyogenic Anisometropia
uncorrected high unilateral RE that is present in early life
VA: 20/80 or better
Potentially Amblyopic RE
(aniso) and (iso)
Anisometropia
Astigmatism >1.5D
Hyperopia >1.0D
Myopia >3.0D
Isometropia
Astigmatism >2.50D
Hyperopia >5.00D
Myopia >8.00D
Amblyogenic Isometropia
-Significant bilateral RE
-issues with high myopes
expected VA: 20/30-20/70
Amblyopic Astigmatism
-meridional
obl>AR>WR
Other amblopia's
Organic - irreversible by tx structural changes such as undetected retinal damage
Idopathic - responds to tx but then regresses
Hysterical - va loss due to emotion
8-14 y/o females
Bilateral VA loss 20/70-20/200
tubular field
Eccentric fixation
usually found in strabismic amblyopes and uncommon in anismetropic amblyopes (unsteady central fixation)
V pattern
Further apart in upgaze
closer in down gaze
A pattern
Closer in upgaze
further in downgaze
V pattern exo
further in upgaze
closer in down gaze
worse: upgaze
most common
V pattern eso
further in upgaze
closer in down gaze
worse: down gaze
A pattern exo
closer in upgaze
further in downgaze
worse: downgaze
A pattern eso
closer in upgaze
further in downgaze
worse: upgaze
Would an A pattern exo be a good bird watcher?
YES!
because closer in upgaze, further in downgaze
worse: downgaze
wont be able to walk down stairs
Head turns
point their nose towards deficit where eye cant go
head tilt help prevent amblyopia
are longstanding functional condition
