[Diploptics - brand-new system of concomitant squint treatment (author's transl)]. 1978

E S Awetissow

The present paper exposes the shortcomings of orthoptics and proposes an original system of concomitant squint treatment named diploptics. This system is based on the new conception of the role of bifixation in the physiology and pathology of binocular vision. The major principle of diploptics is to induce diplopia under natural conductions and further to "enliven" or develope the ability to overcome it with the help of the optomotor fusion reflex and thus to recover the auto-control mechanism of bifixation - the basis of the normal binocular vision. To realize this principle a number of methods are suggested. A trial of these produced hopeful results.

D009988	Orthoptics	The study and treatment of defects in binocular vision resulting from defects in the optic musculature or of faulty visual habits. It involves a technique of eye exercises designed to correct the visual axes of eyes not properly coordinated for binocular vision.	Pleoptics,Orthoptic,Pleoptic

D004172	Diplopia	A visual symptom in which a single object is perceived by the visual cortex as two objects rather than one. Disorders associated with this condition include REFRACTIVE ERRORS; STRABISMUS; OCULOMOTOR NERVE DISEASES; TROCHLEAR NERVE DISEASES; ABDUCENS NERVE DISEASES; and diseases of the BRAIN STEM and OCCIPITAL LOBE.

D000065	Accommodation, Ocular	The dioptric adjustment of the EYE (to attain maximal sharpness of retinal imagery for an object of regard) referring to the ability, to the mechanism, or to the process. Ocular accommodation is the effecting of refractive changes by changes in the shape of the CRYSTALLINE LENS. Loosely, it refers to ocular adjustments for VISION, OCULAR at various distances.

D013285	Strabismus	Misalignment of the visual axes of the eyes. In comitant strabismus the degree of ocular misalignment does not vary with the direction of gaze. In noncomitant strabismus the degree of misalignment varies depending on direction of gaze or which eye is fixating on the target.
