Problem orientation in vision therapy.

Quantification and retrieval of data in vision therapy is a difficult task for both the private practitioner and optometric educator. The problem-oriented record provides an organizational approach that readily identifies patient's problems, therapeutic objectives, and the results of administered therapy. A minimum data base and the resultant problem list for vision therapy has been designed by us. By combining these two through a system of coding, a ready computer data retrieval system was devised. This system provides a method to clearly define terms, objectives, and results. Utilization of this record system by optometric schools and practitioners should reduce much of the confusion existing in the specialty field of vision therapy.

Amblyopia

A new method of concomitancy testing.

Concomitancy is one of several factors to measure when performing a complete diagnostic evaluation of heterotropias and heterophorias. When the fusion-free position of the eyes varies significantly in magnitude or direction in different fields of gaze, nonconcomitancy exists. Frequently the testing of concomitancy is overlooked or performed with little precision. Yet, concomitancy testing is important because the existence and amount of nonconcomitancy may influence the prognosis, therapeutic approach, and success in treatment, and may indicate some life-threatening systemic problem which requires referral. A specially designed light-emitting diode target screen was combined with the projection system of the B & L Autoplot. This system allows the Hess-Lancaster test to be performed quickly and accurately with automatic recording of the patient's responses.
