Recent high-quality research in this field has produced evidence-based assessment and management practices for PSVI. Orthoptists have integrated into the stroke care team in the United Kingdom (UK) to provide this valuable service. This paper outlines the development and implementation of the first known orthoptic PSVI service in North America. A pilot program was developed between the Ophthalmology, Neurology, and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Departments in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. A new referral pathway was established to refer stroke patients with PSVI directly to an orthoptist with specialization in PSVI. Clinical findings from the first year of operation are reported. One hundred and seven visual deficits were suspected by the referring service. Visual field deficits were the most commonly reported PSVI. Diplopia was the most commonly reported oculomotor deficit in this cohort, and visual neglect/inattention was the most common visual perceptual deficit reported. Reading issues were the most commonly reported functional issues. Following assessment by an orthoptist, 45 additional visual deficits were identified and addressed. Stroke patients require assessment and treatment for PSVI. Orthoptists are perfectly suited to PSVI assessment and management. There is an opportunity to increase orthoptists' scope of practice in North America to ensure stroke patients receive specialized vision assessment and treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":37288,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Binocular Vision and Ocular Motility","volume":"74 1","pages":"17-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139991325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are several pathologies that can induce visual impairment, such as severe anisometropia, congenital unilateral cataract, corneal opacity, retinal diseases, and optic nerve anomalies. Sensory strabismus may be horizontal or vertical or a combination of them; however, most reports indicate the development of horizontal deviation as sensory strabismus. Regardless of the direction of the sensory strabismus, early diagnosis and management of the underlying pathology are important before strabismus treatment. The primary treatment approach for patients with sensory strabismus is surgery to correct ocular misalignment and straighten the eyes. This can help to improve the patients' symptoms and diminish the negative psychosocial impacts.

Convergence excess esotropia may be classified according to the AC/A ratio into two subtypes: accommodative type and non-accommodative type. Bifocal glasses are a suitable option for the management of patients with a high AC/A ratio and for the hypoaccommodative type. However, the overall success rate with bifocals is still low even in selected patients. Surgery is often eventually needed for most patients with convergence excess esotropia. Surgical options that do not directly address the variability of the angle of deviation entail medial rectus recession with the target angle based on the distance deviation, the near deviation, an augmented formula based on an intermediate angle, or on a prism adaptation test. Surgical options that directly address the variability of the angle include partial myotomy, medial rectus muscle posterior scleral fixation with or without recession, pulley fixation, slanting recession, Y-splitting, or combined recession-resection of the medial rectus muscle.

As an increasing number of patients seek medical advice on social media online, understanding patients’ activity regarding strabismus on Reddit will help assess their concerns and guide patient education. Methods A cross-sectional study of Reddit posts (www.reddit.com/r/strabismus/) was conducted from July 2021 to July 2022. Posts were sorted by date, type, content, emotional tone, and users’ sex and age (when available). Results A total of 709 posts were analyzed. Of the 164 (23%) posts in which users identified sex, 85 (52%) were female. The average age of patients to whom the post regarded was 23.7 ± 11.4 years (range 1–60 years). The most common content was surgical treatment (453, 63.9%), non-surgical treatment (263, 37%), seeking a diagnosis of their condition (190, 26.8%), and sharing personal journeys (136, 19.2%). Of the 289 (41%) posts that conveyed a clear emotional tone, the most common were anxiety (48, 18.3%), happiness (31, 11.8%), insecurity (24, 9.2%), frustration (22, 8.4%), and excitement (22, 8.4%). “Anxiety” posts had a significantly greater association with pre-surgery concerns whereas “happy” posts had a significantly greater association with post-operative updates (p = .003). Conclusions Patients with strabismus who post on Reddit tend to be young adults interested in surgical treatment options. Although the pre-operative tone was anxiety, post-operative posts tended to be happy.","PeriodicalId":37288,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Binocular Vision and Ocular Motility","volume":"4 1","pages":"160 - 164"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139324579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
