ACUITY TESTING IN CHILDREN AND HOW TO COPE WITH HYSTERICAL VISION
Created on behalf of NHS NES as supplement to workshops on binocular vision and additional techniques.
![Page 2: ACUITY TESTING IN CHILDREN AND HOW TO COPE WITH HYSTERICAL VISION Created on behalf of NHS NES as supplement to workshops on binocular vision and additional.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081502/5518c248550346a61f8b5617/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Observations• Navigation in clinic / reaching for quiet small toys• Holding new toys close for inspection• Eye contact – often avoided in autistic spectrum• Photophobia
![Page 3: ACUITY TESTING IN CHILDREN AND HOW TO COPE WITH HYSTERICAL VISION Created on behalf of NHS NES as supplement to workshops on binocular vision and additional.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081502/5518c248550346a61f8b5617/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Observations• Obvious squint• Alternating – VA equal• Fixation preference – suspect amblyopia• Infantile esotropia – amblyopia rare• Intermittent exotropia –amblyopia rare• Accommodative esotropia – VA may be good but hypermetropia
may prevent habitual clear VA • Squint may be secondary to poor unilateral VA e.g cataract or
retinoblastoma – Infants → esotropia– Older children / adults → exotropia
![Page 4: ACUITY TESTING IN CHILDREN AND HOW TO COPE WITH HYSTERICAL VISION Created on behalf of NHS NES as supplement to workshops on binocular vision and additional.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081502/5518c248550346a61f8b5617/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Qualitative Tests
• Fixation & following both eyes together • Infants prefer their mother’s face• Illuminated / moving small toys • Do not use noisy toys to assess VA• Smooth pursuit should be tested slowly• Jerky smooth pursuit does not mean low VA
![Page 5: ACUITY TESTING IN CHILDREN AND HOW TO COPE WITH HYSTERICAL VISION Created on behalf of NHS NES as supplement to workshops on binocular vision and additional.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081502/5518c248550346a61f8b5617/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Observations• Nystagmus • VA rarely better than 6/12 – often much worse• Amplitude of nystagmus not related to VA• Test VA uniocularly AND both eyes open• Use +6.0D lens as occluder if significant latent element• Near VA much better than distance
– Test reading acuity at 1/3m and habitual near distance (even if 10cm)
• Allow to adopt head posture during testing (usually face turn to fixing eye)
![Page 6: ACUITY TESTING IN CHILDREN AND HOW TO COPE WITH HYSTERICAL VISION Created on behalf of NHS NES as supplement to workshops on binocular vision and additional.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081502/5518c248550346a61f8b5617/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Observations
• Ptosis• Lid ever obscuring pupil?• Using chin ↑ head posture• Using chin ↑ head posture on upgaze
![Page 7: ACUITY TESTING IN CHILDREN AND HOW TO COPE WITH HYSTERICAL VISION Created on behalf of NHS NES as supplement to workshops on binocular vision and additional.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081502/5518c248550346a61f8b5617/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Qualitative Tests
• Fixation• Fixation of deviating eye in manifest squint • Fixation should be brisk and accurate• Slow / delayed fixation often means low VA• Unsteady / no movement to fix indicates eccentric
fixation and very low VA
![Page 8: ACUITY TESTING IN CHILDREN AND HOW TO COPE WITH HYSTERICAL VISION Created on behalf of NHS NES as supplement to workshops on binocular vision and additional.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081502/5518c248550346a61f8b5617/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Qualitative Tests
• Fixation preference• Spontaneous alternation • Alternation after initial occlusion • Hold fixation through blink• Hold fixation up to blink• Hold fixation for few seconds• Hold fixation momentarily• Immediately return to originally fixing eye • Slow to fix• Unable to fix
EQUAL VA
DENSE AMBLYOPIA

Refraction
• Cycloplegic refraction• Undilated retinoscopy – gross refractive error
– media opacities– Bruckner reflex– Anisometropia– Gross astigmatism
• “Mohindra” retinoscopy in dark
![Page 38: ACUITY TESTING IN CHILDREN AND HOW TO COPE WITH HYSTERICAL VISION Created on behalf of NHS NES as supplement to workshops on binocular vision and additional.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081502/5518c248550346a61f8b5617/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Crowding / Separation Difficulties
• Present at threshold in everyone• Characteristics
– Ends of rows clearer– Letters correct but jumbled up
• Exaggerated ++ in amblyopia• ?Worse if initial VA very low• Occlusion may improve singles acuity, but less for linear• VA may regress at end of occlusion• Record more details of VA e.g. 6/12, but crowding from
6/36
![Page 39: ACUITY TESTING IN CHILDREN AND HOW TO COPE WITH HYSTERICAL VISION Created on behalf of NHS NES as supplement to workshops on binocular vision and additional.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081502/5518c248550346a61f8b5617/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Electro-diagnostic tests• VEP, ERG, • Indicated when VA appears to be, or is suspected of being,
reduced despite normal appearance on conventional examination e.g. Inherited retinal conditions
• VEP acuity overestimates recognition acuity• Generally used in diagnosis • Occasionally used to monitor progress in children with
congenital cataracts
![Page 40: ACUITY TESTING IN CHILDREN AND HOW TO COPE WITH HYSTERICAL VISION Created on behalf of NHS NES as supplement to workshops on binocular vision and additional.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081502/5518c248550346a61f8b5617/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Practical Tips• If occlusion likely to be difficult, do all both eyes open tests
first• On first visit test likely better eye first • On subsequent visits test amblyopic eye first before co-
operation lost• When moving on to more difficult test, try to do “old,”
easier one, on same visit – especially if being occluded
![Page 41: ACUITY TESTING IN CHILDREN AND HOW TO COPE WITH HYSTERICAL VISION Created on behalf of NHS NES as supplement to workshops on binocular vision and additional.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081502/5518c248550346a61f8b5617/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Functional /”Hysterical” loss of vision
• Children with genuine low VA are cautious in new situation of clinic, while these children enter normally
• Relatively untroubled by apparently severe symptoms• Running their lives normally most of time
![Page 42: ACUITY TESTING IN CHILDREN AND HOW TO COPE WITH HYSTERICAL VISION Created on behalf of NHS NES as supplement to workshops on binocular vision and additional.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081502/5518c248550346a61f8b5617/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Functional /”Hysterical” loss of vision
• Read VA chart very slowly from the top, not just from near threshold• Tricks
– Cancelling + / - lenses – put up plus first– Testing VA at different distances– Use Bagolini glasses– If claiming unilateral loss use prisms to give diplopia
• Watch pupil reactions for near – may dilate for text• Dynamic retinoscopy• Compare “tested” vs natural accommodation• Need good VA to get good stereoacuity – say TNO is a colour test • Check fundi and media carefully & refer for ophthalmologist opinion or
scans if cannot improve VA
![Page 43: ACUITY TESTING IN CHILDREN AND HOW TO COPE WITH HYSTERICAL VISION Created on behalf of NHS NES as supplement to workshops on binocular vision and additional.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081502/5518c248550346a61f8b5617/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Functional /”Hysterical” loss of vision
• Do not accuse of malingering / lying• Take it seriously• It “happens” to children and is common• Reassure child that their eyes are normal and it will get better with
time• Speak to parents alone• Reassure, but ask parents to think about whether any cause they can
think of – Bullying, dyslexia, anxiety, abuse– Offer a range of severity of causes
• Be mindful of formal reporting procedures for child abuse
