title: [Diagrammatic presentation of the results of strabismus examination in the various diagnostic positions of gaze need standardization].
abstract: We have found that there is no consistent opinion about the recording of the results of ocular deviations in various diagnostic positions of gaze, as well as for head tilt tests to the right and to the left in textbooks, manuscript and hospital medical records in China. For the sake of convenience in analysis and diagnosis of ocular deviations, it is necessary to have a unified opinion in recording these results. In accordance with the habitual diagrammatic presentation of the results of ocular deviations in the various diagnostic positions of gaze, as well as for head tilt tests to the right and to the left at home and abroad, we recommend two recording methods: the examiner's view and the patient's view. The patient's view is used in the synoptophore readings, Worth four-dot test, Maddox rod and double Maddox rod test, diplopia test, Hess screen and Lancaster screen test. The examiner's view is used in the prism cover test and arrangement for pictures in nine ocular positions of gaze.
