Binocular vision interactive – 1

Bill Harvey offers an overview of your responses to our last interactive exercise which focused upon the assessment of a five-year-old with asymmetric vision (C72234)

I do not think I am alone in thinking that how binocular vision was taught at undergraduate level did not always make this subject either clear or inviting. My understanding of the topic really only developed once in the real world and, particularly, after becoming more confident when dealing with young children, a patient group I was initially terrified of on first qualifying.

The first in our interactive exercises in binocular vision was designed to be an introduction to some more challenging scenarios we will publish in future months. It was aimed at encouraging an understanding of the main assessment techniques and understanding the possible causes of unilateral vision reduction.
