ORTOTTICA I

to acquire basic knowledge on the visuo-motor system, on the ocular streneco oculomotor system; to evaluate and rehabilitate the sensorimotor alterations of the visual apparatus; plan a rehabilitative project to restore or normalize binocular vision.

WHAT IS THE ORTOTTICA

Definition of orthoptics and its application
The figure of the orthoptist from a legal and professional point of view
Role, skills and work areas
The orthoptist and the visuo-motor rehabilitation
2. BASIC CONCEPTS ON THE OCULOMATION:

The motor unit: anatomo - physiology and kinetics of ocular muscles

Oculomotor nerves: signs
Anatomic and diagnostic positions of oculomotor muscles
Eye movements: saccadici, pursuit, conjugates, disjunctions, ductions, versions, vergences.
Relationship between eye movements and accommodation

3. THE SENSOR-MOTOR UNIT:

The Binocular Vision
CRN and CRA retinal correspondence
oroptero
Panum area
Unequal fixation
Sensory Fusion / Motor Fusion
stereopsis
Physiological and Pathological Diplopia
Ocular suppression
4. PATIENT EXAM:

Patient History and Observation
Examination of visual acuity, refraction, examination of the fundus of the eye
Objective tests and subjective tests:
Examination of pupillary reflexes (Hirschberg test)
Ocular motility
Convergence
Ocular dominance
Screen test
Evaluation and measurement of ocular deviations (angle of strabismus)
Fusional Strength Test (HF)
Diplopia examination (Red Glass Test)
Striped glasses and Splint Bagolini filters
Hess-Lancaster test
Stereopsis test (Lang I, Titmus Stereo Test, TNO)
PPT and PAT test
5. DEFINITION AND ETHIOPATHOGENESIS OF STRABISM

Definition of ocular deviations: heterophoria and heterotropy
Definition of concomitant and disruptive strabismus
Etiopathogenesis of concomitant and disruptive strabismus
6. THE AMBLIOPIA:

Definition, classification, clinical characteristics
Elements of orthoptic treatment
