  3. Infantile esotropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infantile_esotropia

    Infantile esotropia is an ocular condition of early onset in which one or either eye turns inward. It is a specific sub-type of esotropia and has been a subject of much debate amongst ophthalmologists with regard to its naming, diagnostic features, and treatment.

  4. Esotropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esotropia

    Esotropia (from Greek eso 'inward' and trope 'a turning' [1]) is a form of strabismus in which one or both eyes turn inward. The condition can be constantly present, or occur intermittently, and can give the affected individual a "cross-eyed" appearance. [2] It is the opposite of exotropia and usually involves more severe axis deviation than ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monofixation_syndrome

    Monofixation syndrome (MFS) (also: microtropia or microstrabismus) is an eye condition defined by less-than-perfect binocular vision. [1] It is defined by a small angle deviation with suppression of the deviated eye and the presence of binocular peripheral fusion. [2] That is, MFS implies peripheral fusion without central fusion.

  6. Farsightedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsightedness

    Far-sightedness, also known as long-sightedness, hypermetropia, and hyperopia, is a condition of the eye where distant objects are seen clearly but near objects appear blurred. This blur is due to incoming light being focused behind, instead of on, the retina due to insufficient accommodation by the lens. [ 6 ]

  7. Dissociated vertical deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociated_vertical_deviation

    Dissociated vertical deviation. Dissociated vertical deviation (DVD) is an eye condition which occurs in association with a squint, typically infantile esotropia. The exact cause is unknown, although it is logical to assume it is from faulty innervation of eye muscles.

  8. Alternating occlusion training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_occlusion_training

    Alternating occlusion training. Alternating occlusion training, also referred to as electronic rapid alternate occlusion, is an approach to amblyopia and to intermittent central suppression in vision therapy, in which electronic devices such as programmable shutter glasses or goggles are used to block the field of view of one eye in rapid ...

  9. Cover test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover_test

    A cover test or cover-uncover test is an objective determination of the presence and amount of ocular deviation. It is typically performed by orthoptists, ophthalmologists and optometrists during eye examinations. The two primary types of cover tests are: the alternating cover test. the unilateral cover test (or the cover-uncover test).
