Efficacy comparison of binocular vision training, visual perception training and suspended vision trainer in postoperative recovery from strabismus surgery

Abstract

AIM: To analyze and compare the efficacy of binocular visual perception training and suspended vision trainer in postoperative rehabilitation of strabismus.METHODS: A total of 96 children who received surgical treatment from July 2022 to September 2023 were included in the study subjects, and they were group A(n=32), group B(n=32)and group C(n=32). After operation, binocular visual training, visual perception training and suspension vision trainer were used to compare the efficacy among groups.RESULTS: The changes of simultaneous visual function, fusion visual function, stereoscopic visual function, perceptual eye position(horizontal and vertical)and CIXTQ of the three groups of children were observed before training and at 3 mo after training, and the study found that the simultaneous visual function recovered differently at 3 mo after training, with the best recovery in the group B(all P0.05), but there were statistical significance in fusion visual function among the three groups(all P0.05). The improvement of perceptual eye position of the group B, either horizontally or vertically, was better than that of both the group A and group C(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Visual perception training has a higher value in the simultaneous visual function, fusion function, stereoscopic visual function, perceptual eye position and quality of life in children with strabismus.
