Effect of orthoptic procedures on stereoscopic acuities.

Am J Optom Physiol Opt

Published: September 1982

Ten stereophotogrammetry students and three graduate photogrammetrists were given 7 weeks of nonspecific orthoptic exercises. The visual systems of these 13 experimental subjects were matched to those of 13 control subjects chosen from the students and staff of the Ferris State College of Optometry. Stereoscopic acuities were determined before and after the training period on both groups using a Wild Stereoplotter, a Howard-Dolman apparatus, and the Keystone Multi-Stereo Test. Stereoscopic acuities as determined on the stereoplotter and the Howard-Dolman apparatus were improved at better than a 0.05 significance level as computed on the Wilcoxon signed rank test and Student's t-test for the difference between two dependent means.

Background: Extended monovision is a novel mix-and-match approach that has been recently introduced. It involves implanting an aspherical monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) for distance vision in the dominant eye, and a bifocal extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) IOL in the nondominant eye. The target refraction for the nondominant eye is - 1.

Playing three-dimensional (3D) video games enhances stereo acuity (i.e., the precision of stereopsis) in young adults with normal vision Here we asked whether the improvement in stereoacuity was the result of a reduced disparity pedestal, as indicated by a decreased subjective depth bias (i.

One-Stage Orbital Decompression Combined With Intraoperative Muscle Relaxation for TAO: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Am J Ophthalmol

November 2024

From the State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology (L.C., Y.S., W.L., J.Y., X.H., W.R., J.Z., M.G., W.W., Y.T.), Optometry and Visual Science, Eye Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, China; National Clinical Research Center for Ocular Diseases (L.C., Y.S., W.L., J.Y., X.H., W.R., J.Z., M.G., W.W., Y.T.), Eye Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, China. Electronic address:

Purpose: To gauge the efficacy and safety of performing a one-stage endoscopic orbital decompression procedure combined with the intraoperative relaxed medial rectus muscle (MR) positioning technique as a means of treating esotropia associated with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO).

Design: Prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled trial.

Setting: Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explored the link between different types of refractive errors and conditions like strabismus (eye misalignment), amblyopia (lazy eye), and stereo vision issues in 145 patients with anisometropia (unequal refractive power in the eyes).
  • It found that patients with anisometropia had a higher occurrence of strabismus compared to a normal control group, especially when their refractive error was greater than or equal to 1.00D, impacting their stereopsis (depth perception).
  • Additionally, far-sighted and mixed astigmatism cases had a higher risk of amblyopia than myopia (nearsightedness), but no significant difference was noted in near stereopsis between the

Article Synopsis
  • - The study compared different clinical tests for measuring stereopsis in 34 children with untreated unilateral amblyopia during treatment over 6 months.
  • - It found that Titmus and Frisby stereopsis tests consistently outperformed Random-dot stereopsis, but there were no significant differences between Titmus and Frisby.
  • - Although different measurement methods yield varying results, all methods showed similar effectiveness when tracking therapeutic improvement in amblyopia over time.
