[Accommodation in strabismus].

R Pigassou-Albouy

    Journal Francais D'Ophtalmologie
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Strabismus involves disturbances in the accommodative mechanism, impacting the entire optico-sensori-motor system. Effective treatment requires a holistic approach, addressing all components rather than isolated aspects.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology and Vision Science
    • Cybernetics and Systems Theory
    • Neuroscience

    Context:

    • Clinical observations of strabismus reveal complex optico-sensori-motor symptomatology.
    • Binocular visual function is conceptualized as a cybernetic 'set' with the accommodative system as a 'sub-set'.
    • Existing classifications of accommodative disturbances inform the understanding of visual function rebuilding.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the optico-sensori-motor symptomatology in strabismus before and during treatment.
    • To compare clinical findings with theoretical models of binocular visual function.
    • To propose a unified understanding of strabismus as an accommodative disturbance within a broader system.

    Summary:

    • Strabismus is characterized by disturbances in the accommodative mechanism, affecting the entire optico-sensori-motor system.
    • "Pure" accommodative strabismus involves peripheral accommodation and is reversible with optical correction.
    • "Impure" accommodative strabismus indicates a more widespread restructuring of the optico-sensori-motor set, with variable reversibility.
    • Every strabismus is considered accommodative, involving a disruption of the accommodative mechanism.
    • The study refutes purely "sensorial" or "motor" explanations for strabismus, emphasizing its integrated nature.

    Impact:

    • Challenges the dichotomy of "sensorial" versus "motor" theories in strabismus etiology.
    • Highlights the interconnectedness of accommodative, sensorial, and motor systems in binocular vision.
    • Advocates for integrated, multi-faceted treatment strategies for strabismus, moving beyond isolated interventions.
