Session four: A survivor’s guide to orthoptics for the busy locum optometrist
About 5% of patients who consult community optometrists have binocular vision anomalies. The diagnosis of these conditions will be described, with the specific goal of identifying those conditions that can be treated by the optometrist, those that require referral, and those that do not require treatment. Conditions summarised will include heterophoria, strabismus, and incomitant deviations. Management strategies that are evidence-based and appropriate for optometric practice will be described. Some of these conditions are amenable to treatment by the primary care optometrist, and others require referral. The presentation will review the diagnosis and management of these conditions.
Learning outcome
- Practitioners will consolidate their skills in the diagnosis and management of common binocular vision anomalies
