WHeng (M/23) came for eye examination, vision is fine seeing far & near.. but sometimes he sees blurry vision.
Vision without glasses
R: cannot guess 6/60
L: 6/45

Distance, NFV: x/6/4
Fusional Reserves (with Add +0.75)

Vergence Facility
Near: 0 cpm
(double BO, double did not go closer with blink)
Distance: 0 cpm
(initially double BI.. with repeated flips – double BO, double did not go closer with blink)
Fluorescein
R: -ve
L: -ve
Interpupillary distance, IPD = 7.1cm
Pseudo CI?
We update WHeng’s prescription & prescribe added plus at near.
His work & studies require him to be on computer most of the time, we emphasise on taking regular break.
KIV vision therapy,VT to normalise & equalise accommodation in BE.
