PECULIARITIES OF ANATOMO-FUNCTIONAL STATE OF CHILDREN’S VISION ORGAN WITH MONOLATERAL CONCOMITANT STRABISMUS
Objective: the purpose of our work is to evaluate the initial anatomical and functional status of the visual analyzer of children with monolateral concomitant strabismus. Materials and methods. 35 preschool children with this pathology were examined. Results of the study. It has been established that the visual acuity of the squinting eye for distance is always significantly lower than this indicator on the “leading” eye, and for the near is higher than for distance; the nature of vision is always monocular; possible noncentral or unstable central visual fixation; the parameters of CSFM are naturally lower than on the «leading» eye; OCT of the retina of the eye with incorrect visual fixation in a number of cases revealed changes in the macular zone. Conclusion. The study showed that children with monolateral strabismus are characterized by deep oppression of the visual functions of the squinting eye, so the first efforts should be aimed at combating amblyopia and noncentral visual fixation (2 figs, 3 tables, bibliography: 9 refs).
