[Stereoscopic vision with central scotomata (author's transl)]. 1981

D Friedburg

Thirty-nine patients with convergent microstrabismus and 24 patients with central organic scotoma underwent measurements of stereo acuity. Stereopsis at distance was measured by means of a polarization haploscope using "plane-tests" and random dot tests respectively. For near stereopsis were used commercially available tests (Titmus Test, TNO-Test). Organic scotomata can be divided into "circumscribed central scotomata" and "sievelike scotomata", the latter leading to poorer performance in random dot tests. Large plane tests yielded better results than small ones. In microstrabism we found stereo acuities similar to those of patients with "sievelike scotoma". The results support the theory of displacement of fusion within Panum's area in microstrabismus leading to decreased local stereopsis due to decreased concentration of stereo units at the border of Panum's area.

D014787	Vision Tests	A series of tests used to assess various functions of the eyes.	Test, Vision,Tests, Vision,Vision Test
D014792	Visual Acuity	Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast.	Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities
