Hess Charting
Hess Charting is an advanced diagnostic procedure offered at Desai Eye Hospital, designed to assess eye muscle function and diagnose disorders related to eye movements. This non-invasive test is essential for evaluating strabismus, binocular vision, and other conditions that affect the alignment of the eyes. By analyzing the movement of both eyes together, Hess Charting helps identify issues like double vision, eye misalignment, and nerve or muscle abnormalities.
Hess Charting is particularly beneficial for patients with conditions such as strabismus, cranial nerve palsies, and other ocular motility disorders. It provides a clear understanding of how well the eyes work together and helps in planning treatment options such as surgery or therapy for optimal visual outcomes.
The procedure is simple, quick, and pain-free. The patient is asked to focus on a target while the ophthalmologist observes the movement of both eyes. This detailed analysis provides valuable information that aids in the diagnosis and management of various eye conditions.
At Desai Eye Hospital, our skilled ophthalmologists use Hess Charting to provide comprehensive eye care, ensuring accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans to improve vision and quality of life.
