Strabismus and amblyopia have a reputation for being difficult to understand and treat. This course is intended to provide a logical framework for understanding and delivering consistent care for patients with these diseases. This course will focus on the development of amblyopia and strabismus in the context of expected human visual development. Once the mechanisms underlying the development of strabismus and amblyopia are understood, treating the conditions is easier and more predictable.

Program
DAY 1 9-10.30am Introduction to basic
principles1. Understand the basic principles underlying the development of
amblyopia and strabismus in order to ensure early detection and
management and be able to communicate treatment plans to the
patient.
2. Understand demographics and epidemiology of amblyopia and
strabismus.
3. Understand that previous surgery is not a barrier to treatment11-12.30pm Chronology with case
example; demographics
and epidemiology1.Understand the chronology of development of problems,
2.Understand the importance of demographics
3.Understand the role of epidemiology.1.30-3pm Why strabismus seems
different from other visual
problems;1. Understand how and why amblyopia and strabismus develop
2. Understand how strabismus and amblyopia are functionally
related
3. Understand how the development of amblyopia or strabismus
can be beneficial to the person at a specified point in time but not
forever3.30-5pm The critical nature of the
individual patient1. Learn how specific disruptions or "thwarting" experiences
occurring at critical times in normal infant development
2. Understand how this can result in strabismus or amblyopia
3. Understand how differences in patients can affect treatment
plansDAY 2 9-10.30am The mythology of
strabismus and the
countering science1. Strabismus viewed as altered binocularity rather than a
monocular condition
2. Strabismus and amblyopia can be treated past the traditionally
viewed “critical” period
3. Understand occlusion success rates for various subtypes of
amblyopia & the long-term success of occlusion11-12.30pm Accommodative ET,
Genesis and introduction
to hyperopic prescribing1. Understand the development and management of esotropia in
children
2. Understand issues in respect to accommodation:
3. Accommodative convergent squints and partially convergent
squints and their management.1.30-3pm Cycloplegia and the
Cambridge Visual
Screening Programme1. Understands the use of photorefractive techniques and video
refraction including the sensitivity and specificity and how this
compares with cycloplegic refraction results and
2. Be aware of the results of the Cambridge infant vision screening
programme
3. Understand the results of two infant vision screening
programmes: prediction and prevention of strabismus and
amblyopia from photo- and video refractive screening3.30-5pm What behavioural
optometry has to offer1. Understand the significance and accuracy of using video refractive
techniques2. Understand the drawbacks of these techniques
3. Predicting patients with amblyopia and strabismus in hyperopic
patientsDAY 3 9-10.30am The basic behavioural
examination for strabismus1. Understand the significance of unexpected response to
treatment of amblyopia and strabismus that might indicate serious
underlying neurological problems
2. Be confident to refer for advice
3. Be aware of how to perform a bv work up including various
versions of Hess charts, and understand the nature and significance
of anomalous correspondence and how to test for it .11-12.30pm What outcomes to expect
illustrated through detailed
case studies1. Understand by means of case histories how various bv anomalies
can be treated
2. Understand outcomes that should be expected.
3. Understand the concepts described in the case studies1.30-3pm Introduction to Visual
Training1. Understand how to go about approaching treatment of amblyopia
and strabismus and
2. Understand what exercises can be used and in what order they
need to be used in order to make significant improvements in visual
outcomes.
3. Understand how to develop a management plan for treatment of
amblyopia and strabismus3.30-5pm Lens prescribing with an
emphasis on plus lens
prescribing1. Understand how to go about approaching prescribing lenses for
the patient who has amblyopia and strabismus
2. Understand how to make improvements in visual outcomes.
3. Understand how to develop a management plan using lenses
where appropriate for treatment of amblyopia and strabismusDAY 4 9-10.30am Assessment
Techniques1. Visual acuity assessment – preferential looking, OKN drums
2. Illiterate charts
3. Projector vs chart, logMAR vs Snellen
4. Modification with pinhole, 2 x telescope, ND filters
5. VEP/VER’s
6. Macula integrity testing, and cyclo deviation assessment11-12.30pm Workshop on Vision
Training1. Anticrowding techniques
2. Disassociation techniques
3. Transparency techniques
4. CAM therapy
5. Auditory Biofeedback1.30-3pm Other Factors to Consider 1. Nystagmus therapy
2. Critical periods
3. Longterm occlusion outcomes -
