[Effect of fast alternating eye covering on formation of binocular vision in strabismus treated with a localization method. II. Evaluation based on the behavior of functional scotomas].
The authors have examined the behaviour of functional scotomas in the squinting eye in children treated on the static apparatus modelled after the Starkiewicz alteroobturator. They examined 25 children at the age of between 8 and 14 years with convergent squint with macular fixation. Visual acuity of the master eye was equal 1.0 and in the of the squinting eye from 0.4 do 0.8 in correction. The angle of squint was equal from +4 degrees to +26 degrees. The patients were treated in accordance with the localization method-stage II/III. Children were practising on the apparatus 2 x 7-10 minutes for 5 days. In 12 children out of the 25 under examination the functional scotomas were of the same size after exercises, and in 12 children it decreased from 12% to 40%, on average 24.8%. In 1 child the functional scotoma absolutely disappeared.
