DIAGNOSIS
This pt has low simple astigmatic hyperope. He loves to play computer game and and he has symptoms of having asthenopia and complain of diplopia. Patient fail with +ve lens, and reporting of seeing double during the assessment. This means that patient can’t relax his accomodation. This patient is suspected to has accommodation spasm or accommodation excess. But patient with accommodation excess usually developed a high exophoria, contradict with this patient that has esophoria. Thus due to the symptoms above this patient might has accommodation spasm
Management
Need to make another follow up with patient for cycloplegic refraction. Then need to compare the result of cycloplegic and post cycloplegic refraction to find the best power that suite her. Correct the refractive error with minimum minus with best distance VA. Advice patient to reduce his time spend for playing computer game. Ask patient to see distance or green panoramic to relax the accommodation. Patient also need to be refer to special binocular vision clinic for therapy session. He might need to undergo therapy to relax his accommodation and to increase the MAF and BAF using plus minus lens (flipper lens) with word rock card.
The flipper use for the first session is +/0.50 then the power will be increase gradually according to patient achievement until it reach the goal of having around 7 cycle per minute using +/2.00 D flipper. He also need to undergo corneal topography, just to confirm that he does not has any corneal irregularity that could developed to keratoconus (his brother has keratoconus).
