• It is a condition in which the visual axis of the two eyes does
not meet at the point of regard.
• Greek word-”strabos”:crooked
• PHORIA:latent visual axis deviation,held in check by fusion.
• TROPIA:a manifest visual axis deviation.
• Intermittent Tropia:deviation may exist in only certain gaze
positions or target distance.
• Visual axis (line of vision) : extending from the point of
fixation to the fovea.
• Anatomical (Pupillary) axis:is a line passing from the posterior pole through the centre of the cornea .
• Angle kappa : is the angle subtended by the visual and anatomical axes .
+5˚ exotropic.

• Uniocularly-Duction
• Binocularly-Version.-Same direction
• Opposite direction-Vergence
• Adduction-nasally horizontal
• Abduction-temporally horizontal
• Sursumduction or elevation-upward
• Deorsumduction or depression-downward
• Incycloduction
• Excycloduction
Yoke musclesFor co ordinated eye
movements one muscle of the
each eye act togather.These
are called yoke muscle.
• Hering’s law,for a
binocular movement the
corresponding muscle
(yoked) receive equal and
simultaneous innervation.
• Sherington’s law of
reciprocal innervation,for
any binocular movement the
direct antagonist receives
an equal and simultaneous
inhibition of its innervation.
• Definition:
It is the state of simultaneous vision with two seeing eyes that
occurs when a person fixes his visual attention on an object of
regard.
• Simultaneous perception
• Fusion
• Stereopsis
Ability to fuse points
outside corresponding
retinal area
Ability to fuse
image projected in
corresponding
retinal pints
Ability of
perception of depth
• Confusion-
due to different image viewed by two fovea
Immediately checked by cortical or retinal rivalry mechanism.
• Diplopia-
one object is perceived by one of the fovea of one eye and other object is perceived by extrafoveal point of the other eye which has a different localization value in space.
Binocular diplopia-single image on closing one eye
Monocular diplopia-in astigmatism,neurological conditions
Uncrossed diplopia-esodeviation
Crossed diplopia-exodeviation
• Motor Adaptation:
1. Fusion
• Beyond fusional reserve-asthenopia
1. Head postures
• Chin elevation or depression
• Face turn
• Head tilt
3. Blind spot mechanism:
esotropia of 15˚,other image falls
On blind spot-no diplopia.
• Sensory Adaptation:
• Supression:
Confusion is takled by foveal rivalry which is actually a
suppression.
extrafoveal image suppression is readily occurs if the
visual potential of the extrafoveal point is poor.
Facultative
Obligatory
• Anomalous Retinal Correspondence:
It is the binocular functional adaptation to strabismus at
the cortical level.The fovea of the fixing eye develops a
correspondence (binocular relationship) with an
extrafoveal point of the other eye.
• orthophoria ; perfect alignment of the visual
axes. Most individuals have heterophoria.
• Hypophoria/hypertropia; latent/manifest
squint downwards turning of eyes
• Hyperphoria/hypertropia; latent/manifest
squint upwards turning of eyes
• Exophoria; latent squint outwards turning of the eyes
• Exotropia; manifest squint outwards turning of the eyes
• Esophoria; latent squint inwards turning of the eyes
• Esotropia; manifest squint inwards turning of the eyes

A. Maddox wing test
• Maddox rod test:
• Maddox Double Prism
Used in case of cyclodeviation
• Two prism of 4pd
• Pt looks at a horizontal
line (other eye ocluded)
two lines,parellal but
shifted vertically from
each other.
• Pt opens other eye (not
have double prism)
Line in between above
two lines.
• Versions towards the eight eccentric positions of gaze
are tested by asking the patient to follow a target.
• A quick cover test is performed in each position of gaze
to confirm whether a phoria has become a tropia or the
angle has increased and the patient is questioned
regarding diplopia.
• Ductions are assessed if reduced ocular motility is noted
in either or both eyes.
• The fellow eye is occluded and the patient asked to
follow the torch into various positions of gaze.
• Adduction:
• Normal-if nasal 1.3rd of the cornea
crosses the lower punctum
• Abduction:
• Normal-if temporal limbus touches
the lateral canthus.
• Oblique overaction-
• Angle of adducting eye makes
with horizontal line as it
elevates,abducts on lateral
version to opposite side.
RAF Rule
• It determines the capability of the motor system to cope
with an induced misalignment of visual axes.If it is
large,even a large angle squint remains latent.
• They may be tested with prisms bars or the
synoptophore.
• An increasingly strong prism is placed in front of one
eye, which will then abduct or adduct (depending on
whether the prism is base-in or base-out), in order to
maintain bifoveal fixation. When a prism greater than the
fusional amplitude is reached, diplopia is reported or one
eye drifts the other way, indicating the limit of vergence
ability.
A. Test for supression-
a) Worth 4 dot test:
• Four dots-NRC/HARC
• Five Dots-
Esodeviation-uncrossed
(red on right)
Exodeviation-crossed
(red on left)

• Three green Dots-Supression
of Rt.eye.
• Two red dots-Supression of
left eye.
b. Bagalini’s striated glass
test:
Symetrical cross-NRC or ARC of
Harmonious type
Asymetrical Cross-incomitant squint
with NRC
Single line-supression of the other eye
Cross with gap-central supression
scotoma
• C.4∆ Prism test:
In bifoveal fixation In Microtropia
• D.After Image Testing:
Flash-
horizontal-RE
Vertical-LE
Response:
1. Cross-NRC(irrespective
of deviation)
2. Asymmetrical crossing-
ARC
• Amount of separation
depends on angle of
anomaly.
A. Past Pointing:
• Diplopia charting:
• Image is
separated by red
green glass.
• To quantify the
separation
between the
double image
• Maximum
separation-field of
action of paralytic
muscle
• Hess/Lees charting:
• Anaesthesia
• Supine position
• Lids retracted
• Pt is asked to look in the
direction of the muscle being
tested (to relax antagonist)
• Eye is held in the limbus
• Rotated in the direction of
action of the muscle
Moves freely-negative
Restricted-positive
Push posteriorly-false +ve for
recti,desired for obliques.
• 1.Assess which eye is hypertropic in primary position.
2.Any increase in hypertropia in horizontal gaze
3.Bielschowsky Head tilt test:to see if any
increase of hypertropia on tilting of head to any
side
