From the results of this examination a fairly complete diagnosis can be obtained. The examination itself consists of a short history, a confrontation test, an objective cover test, a diplopia test, and a Worth Dot Test. Because of the design and nature of this examination, an incorrect diagnosis is more likely to result than when a complete strabismus work-up is performed. Also, this minimum examination has restricted usefulness in selecting the therapy of choice and evaluating the prognosis. Nevertheless the minimum strabismus examination is considerably better than no strabismus examination a t all, and in addition to other advantages, it enables the optometrist to make a more intelligent referral.","PeriodicalId":88139,"journal":{"name":"The Australasian journal of optometry","volume":"21 1","pages":"402-418"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1956-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85672830","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}

Only the horizontal ductions measured at 33 cm. from the eyes (near ductions) will be considered here. Viewed somewhat differently, these measure the degree to which the accommodation-convergence relationship can be embarrassed (by placing horizontal prisms of increasing strength before the eyes) before diplopia becomes manifest. Since the break and recovery point readings differ by an average of 10Δ, somewhat different mechanisms seem to be involved. It would appear that the break point is a measure of the resistance to increasing amounts of induced diplopia, whilst the recovery point is more directly related to the “fusion compulsion reflex,” i.e., the binocular fixation reflex.","PeriodicalId":88139,"journal":{"name":"The Australasian journal of optometry","volume":"12 1","pages":"441-444"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1952-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86678174","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}
