ABSTRACT
The paper for the first time presents statistically processed data on the cyclofusion reserves of subjects with normal binocular vision (25) for different age groups: adolescents aged 12-14 and adults aged 18-35 years. Two types of tests for evaluating cyclofusion under conditions of haploscopy (sinoptophore) are offered. The results can be used as a criterion for evaluating cyclofusion in various oculomotor abnormalities: squint, diplopia, and cyclotropia.

A protocol of combined treatment of patients with cyclotropia has been developed, including surgery and functional treatment by an original method. Combined treatment of cyclodiplopia and forced compensatory head turn (ocular torticollis) led to complete restoration of solitary vision in the entire visual field in 12 (34%) cases, in the main part of visual field in 20 (58%) cases, complete elimination of torticollis in 18 (52%) cases, and decrease of torticollis in 14 (40%) cases. Hence, the proposed treatment protocol brings about good functional results and is recommended for the treatment of patients with cyclodiplopia and torticollis.
