Binocular Vision provides a step-by-step practical guide to the various techniques required in practice to assess the binocular status of patients, both young and old.
Optometrists are guided through specific case studies to consider the appropriate management options for a broad range of anomalies. Presented by Professor Bruce Evans, this course uses specific clinical cases and clinical footage of assessment techniques on real life patients to illustrate best practices in binocular vision assessment. Summary slides, graphics and animations aid understanding, and supportive reference links can be found throughout the course page and in the 'More information' section.
Test techniques considered include:
- Cover-uncover
- Alternating cover
- Convergence assessment
- Accommodation
- Ocular motility
- Fixation disparity
- Foveal suppression
- Stereopsis
- Fusional reserves.
