Visual Experience in Strabismus – A Concept-Based Learning for Postgraduates

Abstract Objective: To demonstrate various techniques of sensory and motor examination of strabismus which will be helpful for the residents in understanding basic concepts in an easy way and practice in their career. Materials and Methods: The demonstration of sensory and motor examination is done by making orthotropic eye optically esotropia,exotropia,hypotropia or hypertropia by placing prism in front of the eye displacing the retinal image leading to eye movement. The interpretation of Red glass test, Bagolini striated glass test, Maddox rod test, double Maddox rod test, after image test is demonstrated easily by making the examiners feel the real appearance of examination of strabismic patients. Results: This examination could play a role in allowing residents to improve their skills free from the burdens of space and time limitations. Additionally, residents developed the confidence to examine and diagnose children with strabismus. Conclusion: We strongly believe that these examinations aimed at assessing improvements in strabismus will significantly enhance residents’ abilities to diagnose and treat this condition effectively. This study was aimed to help ophthalmology residents; it could be beneficial for trained ophthalmologists to maintain or practice their skills.
