Eye Team • Ophthalmologist • Orthoptist • Optometrist • Optician • Ophthalmic technician
Small part of the MDT in stroke pathway • AIMS for each stroke patient • Vision Acuity / Field • Normal eye movements • No Diplopia • (Double vision -prism, patch etc)
Acuity Matching, Pictures etc OPTOMETRIST POH Amblyopia Glaucoma macular disease Colours Contrast Fields Vision
The field of vision can be plotted by: • Confrontation • Goldmann kinetic (and static) threshold perimetry • Humphrey static threshold perimetry computer 30 degrees
InattentionPartial Hemianopia • Macular Sparing
What is new to the stroke • What is old disease (old VA VF) • Glaucoma • Cataract • Macular degeneration • River blindness
DRIVING VF - DVLA • VISION • Read number plate at 25 yards = 6/10 (BEO) • VISUAL FIELD • ESTERMAN or opt for Goldmann • 120 degrees of visual field • No more than 3 missed in central 30 degrees
Orthoptist is a small part of the MDT in stroke pathway • AIMS for each patient • Vision • Eye movements assessed • Diplopia Treated (prism, patch etc) • Visual field defect mapped • Help with rehab etc • Driving
Small part of the MDT in stroke pathway • AIMS for each patient • Vision • Eye movements assessed • Diplopia Treated
