[Alternating strabismus--clinical study--treatment]

R Pigassou Albouy, G P Piyol Prunes

    Documenta Ophthalmologica. Advances in Ophthalmology
    |March 31, 1981

    Summary

    Motor and sensory alternation in strabismus requires specific terminology. Early, binocular treatment is crucial to prevent irreversible vision loss, highlighting risks of certain therapies.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology and Neuroscience
    • Visual Development and Plasticity

    Context:

    • Alternating strabismus involves complex motor and sensory components.
    • Distinguishing primary from secondary alternating strabismus is essential for prognosis.

    Purpose:

    • To define motor and sensory alternation and differentiate strabismus types.
    • To highlight the impact of environmental factors and therapies on visual development.

    Summary:

    • Sensory alternation co-occurs with motor alternation, but not vice-versa.
    • Clinical and experimental data show that abnormal visual input during sensitive periods leads to irreversible cortical changes.
    • Iatrogenic risks of certain orthoptic treatments and the necessity for early, binocular treatment are emphasized.

    Impact:

    • Informs clinical practice regarding strabismus diagnosis and treatment strategies.
    • Underscores the critical window for intervention in visual development to ensure normal binocular vision.
    • Contributes to understanding the neurobiological basis of visual plasticity and its limitations.
