DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Orthoptic assessment (Outcome measure)

The orthoptic assessment is a non-invasive assessment that will last for 30 min to determine visual parameters related to binocular vision. It will be carried out by the research team in the orthoptics and vision sciences laboratories of the Lisbon School of Health Tecnology.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Tear film Break Up Time (BUT) test (Outcome measure)

The BUT test is a tear film rupture assessment test that allows the stability of the tear film to be evaluated. To perform these tests, it is necessary to instill fluorescein and then it is observed in the slit lamp under illumination with a cobalt blue filter, to count the break-up time.
