Summary

• What is patient’s real complaint ?

• Disease process, work up, time frame

• Trial of prisms

• Is surgery an option?

• Are other referrals or treatments necessary?

• Communication between all parties

• Evidence-Based Medicine

Page 97: Diplopia strabismus ppt-talk_10-2010

97

Evidence-based Medicine

• “ the conscientious, judicious,explicit use of the best available evidence from clinical care research in making health care decisions”

• Harvard Health Policy Review 2007: 8:145-155 Montori and Guyatt: Corruption of the evidence as threat and opportunity for evidence-based medicine

Page 98: Diplopia strabismus ppt-talk_10-2010

VISION THERAPY

• 1) Orthoptic VT helpful for convergence insufficiency and binocular function

• 2) Behavioral-Perception VT unproven for visual processing and perception

• 3) Prevention or correction of Myopia unproven

• * Eye excercises do not treat learning disabilities

Page 99: Diplopia strabismus ppt-talk_10-2010

99

Learning Disabilities

• 15-20% of the population affected with reading, math, foreign langauge problems, organizing written and spoken language

• reading disorder different from dyslexia

• 85% have dyslexia, whereby, loosing place reading due to difficulty decoding letter(s) or word combinations and/or lack of comprehension, not because of a “tracking abnormality”
