Ocular Motility and Binocular Vision: Development, Dysfunction, and Clinical Application

Course overview

This course provides a comprehensive review of ocular motility and binocular vision, emphasizing both foundational principles and their clinical application across the lifespan. Core concepts of extraocular muscle function, binocular vision development, and ocular alignment are reviewed to establish a framework for understanding strabismus and diplopia in pediatric and adult patients. The presentation integrates developmental aspects of binocular vision with practical examination techniques, pattern recognition, and diagnostic strategies commonly used in optometric practice. Through clinical examples, participants will gain insight into the evaluation of strabismus, recognition of abnormal motility patterns, and appropriate referral and management considerations.
