[Postural deficiency syndrome. Its importance in ophthalmology].
The Postural Deficiency Syndrome (P.D.S.) is a clinical situation always accompanied by an alteration of the ocular and postural equilibrium and by a defect of proprioceptive and visual information. The P.D.S. patients may present an important ophthalmological symptomatology which the classical semiological methods are not able to identify. To study properly these patients it was indispensable to introduce new methods of ophthalmological exploration. Among these new methods, the A.A. point out specially the directional scotometry and the linear directional coordinometry, found out and introduced by them. All these methods have allowed to detect in P.D.S. patients, troubles of directional visual information and typical disturbances of the tonic convergence. As a result of their investigation, the A.A. also describe a new therapy to the P.D.S. This therapy may complement the effects of somatoanalysis and reprogramming, always essential in the treatment of this situation. This new therapy is based on the introduction of a special correction, by means of prismatic lenses of low power, prescribed according to the rules that the A.A. also disclosed. The prismatic correction, appearing to be extremely effective, is well accepted by the great majority of the patients. The investigation work performed by the A.A. gives a new dimension to ophthalmology in the field of diagnosis, prophylaxis, treatment and rehabilitation of different situations of disability and incapacity.
