Assessment of a new Distance Randot stereoacuity test.

Authors:
Valeria L N Fu Eileen E Birch Jonathan M Holmes

J AAPOS 2006 Oct;10(5):419-23

Retina Foundation of the Southwest, Dallas, TX 75231, USA.

Purpose: We sought to develop a new "Distance Randot" test, establish a normative data set for children and adults, and compare with established measures of stereoacuity.

Methods: Distance Randot, distance Frisby-Davis 2 (FD2), and near Preschool Randot stereoacuity (Stereo Optical Co., Inc., Chicago, IL) were assessed in 23 normal children (ages 4-14 years), 21 normal adults (ages 20-36 years), and 131 patients with a variety of strabismic conditions (ages 4-85 years). For each test, stereoacuity was defined as the smallest disparity in which 2 targets were correctly identified. The simultaneous prism and cover test (SPCT) and the alternate prism and cover test (APCT) were used to assess misalignment.

Results: For the new Distance Randot test, normative results were similar to published data obtained with established near and distance stereoacuity tests. In the patient cohort, comparing stereoacuity data obtained from Distance Randot stereoacuity test and the Near Preschool Randot stereoacuity test, most of the patients with discordant scores had poorer distance than near stereoacuity. Comparing the Distance Randot stereoacuity test and the Distance FD2, all of the patients with discordant scores had poorer Distance Randot than FD2 scores.

Conclusions: Distance Randot test is more likely to detect abnormalities in distance stereopsis and may provide a useful tool in measuring distance stereoacuity in patients with and without strabismus. However, further studies are needed to define the efficacy of the Distance Randot test in monitoring progression specific conditions such as intermittent exotropia, where it may prove useful as a guide to the timing of intervention.

Clinical Usefulness of a Computerized Vision Chart for Distance Stereoacuity Assessment in Children with Intermittent Exotropia.

Authors:
Onder Ayyildiz Duygu Yalinbas Osman Melih Ceylan Fatih Mehmet Mutlu

Semin Ophthalmol 2021 Feb 10:1-5. Epub 2021 Feb 10.

Department of Ophthalmology, Health Sciences University, Gulhane Training and Research Hospital , Ankara, Turkey.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate distance stereoacuity in children with intermittent exotropia (IXT) using a computerized vision chart (CVC), to compare the results to the normal subjects, and to determine if any correlation between stereoacuity and IXT severity exits.

Methods: A prospective case-control study was conducted including 24 children with IXT and 25 age-matched normal subjects. The mean age was 8. Read More

Study of correlation between stereopsis and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in cases of glaucoma.

Authors:
Sanjay Kumar Dhar K Raji Shankar Sandeep Abhijit

Med J Armed Forces India 2021 Jan 29;77(1):63-69. Epub 2020 Apr 29.

Fellow, Community Ophthalmology, HV Desai Eye Hospital, Pune, 411060, India.

Background: Glaucoma is an important and common optic neuropathy characterized by progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells and associated morphological changes to the optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL). The most common assessment of visual function in glaucoma uses perimetric measurements of visual sensitivity. Only few studies have evaluated the binocular function in patients with glaucoma.

Impact on binocular visual function of small-incision lenticule extraction for high myopia.

Authors:
Anders Gyldenkerne Anders Ivarsen Ivan Nisted Jesper Hjortdal

J Cataract Refract Surg 2020 Nov 19. Epub 2020 Nov 19.

Department of Ophthalmology, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark (Gyldenkerne, Ivarsen, Nisted, Hjortdal).

Purpose: To assess if small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for high myopia reduces the binocular visual function assessed by stereoacuity, binocular visual acuity, binocular contrast sensitivity, and binocular summation.

Setting: University hospital DESIGN:: Prospective case series METHODS:: Patients with a myopic spherical equivalent of at least 6 diopters (D) scheduled for SMILE aimed at emmetropia were included. Psychophysical testing was done with correction before surgery but no correction after surgery. Read More

Acute acquired concomitant esotropia associated with myopia: is the condition related to any binocular function failure?

Authors:
Celeste Ruatta Costantino Schiavi

Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 2020 Nov 2;258(11):2509-2515. Epub 2020 Jul 2.

University Eye Clinic, St. Orsola-Malpighi Teaching Hospital, Department of Experimental, Diagnostic and Specialty Medicine - DIMES, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy.

Purpose: To evaluate the sensory motor state, accommodation, and accommodative convergence to accommodation ratio (AC/A) in a cohort of non-amblyopic myopes with acquired concomitant esotropia (Bielschowsky esotropia (BE)).

Methods: Refraction, near and far deviation, fusional amplitude (FA), near point of accommodation (NPA), AC/A (gradient method), and stereopsis were measured in a cohort of 26 patients (25 phakic and 1 pseudophakic, age: 14-60 years) with BE, prospectively recruited from January to September 2019 at St. Orsola-Malpighi Hospital, Bologna, Italy.
