8.1 Introduction
Depth perception can be derived from both monocular and binocular cues. The term stereopsis,
used throughout this chapter, refers to depth percepts from binocular vision. Stereopsis can be
used to determine the relative depths of objects
and is considered the highest form of binocular
cooperation [1]. Stereoacuity is the smallest
amount of disparity that results in accurate estimates of relative depth. In this chapter, we discuss many of the clinical tests of stereopsis and
stereoacuity currently in use. The methodology
of the tests, the normative data from these tests,
and the clinical signicance of these tests will be
described.
8.2 History
Corresponding retinal points are those that have
perceptually identical visual directions [2]. For
example, in an individual with normal binocular
vision, the fovea in one eye corresponds to that in
the other eye. Absolute binocular retinal disparity, the stimulus for fusional vergence, is created
when an object is at a different distance than that
at which an individual is xating. Relative binocular disparity is created when objects at different distances from the observer project to
different sets of retinal coordinates. The relative
disparity can be used to recover the relative
depths of objects and is relied upon in clinical
tests of stereoscopic depth perception or
stereoacuity.
While many investigators have contributed to
our current understanding of stereoscopic vision,
only a few will be mentioned here. For a complete history, see Howard and Rogers [2]. Alhazen
described corresponding retinal points.
Aguilonius named and provided an early conception of the horopter, now understood as the locus
of points in space that projects to corresponding
retinal points (Fig. 8.1). Points on the horopter
have zero (absolute) disparity. Stereoscopic
thresholds for two visual stimuli are increased
when these stimuli are moved further from the
horopter. Referring to Fig.8.1, an equation to cal-
culate the angular disparity (n) of an object (in
radians) relative to the xation point is as
follows:

where IPD is the interpupillary distance, Δd is
the distance between the xation point (where
the eyes are converged) and the object, and d is
the distance from the eyes at which the eyes are
converged [2].

Later, Vieth and Müller independently
described the shape of the horizontal horopter as
a circle (the Vieth-Müller circle), although empirically, it is known that the shape of the horopter
deviates from this circle [2]. Shortly thereafter,
Wheatstone developed the mirror stereoscope
and demonstrated that binocular disparity results
in depth perception. Finally, Bela Julesz developed the random dot stereogram, which eliminates or greatly reduces monocular cues that
could otherwise be used to deduce the presence
of a disparity. The random dot stereogram (RDS)
has been extensively utilized, both, in research
studies and in clinical stereopsis testing.
8.3 Types ofStereopsis Tests
Table 8.1 is a list of common commercially available stereoacuity tests. Note that this list is not
exhaustive. Included in this table are the test distances and the mode of stereoacuity testing,
namely global (cyclopean) and/or local
(contour).
For clinical stereopsis testing, there are socalled real depth or physical depth tests that use
targets that physically vary in their distance from
M. Buckland and N. Fogt
the observer (e.g., Howard-Dolman stereotest,
Frisby stereotest) [3]. The Frisby plates are
shown in Fig.8.2. On the other hand, a second
group of commonly used printed tests utilize anaglyphic or polarized stimuli to create dichoptic
viewing conditions (e.g., Randot stereotest,
Titmus Stereo Fly stereotest, TNO stereotest).
The Randot Stereoacuity test is shown in Fig.8.3.
Observers wear red/green or polarized lenses for
these tests. It has been suggested that anaglyphic
stereotargets may underestimate stereopsis performance compared to polarized stereotargets
[4]. The results of real-depth stereotests do not
match those of other types of stereotests, and it
has been suggested that real-depth tests measure
“different aspects of stereoacuity” compared to
polarized and anaglyphic tests [5]. Another
method to achieve dichoptic viewing is to use
(printed) lenticular technology (e.g., Bernell
Evaluation of Stereopsis Test (BEST) and Lang
I-R and Lang II-R stereotests). In this method,
the observer is not required to wear lenses to see
the depth in the single stereogram. Finally, a
modern method to achieve dichoptic separation
of disparate stimuli is to use 3D shutter glasses
that alternately occlude the eyes [6].
With these dichoptic viewing techniques, clinical stereotests may assess local (contour) stereopsis, global (cyclopean) stereopsis, or both local
and global stereopsis. Local stereopsis is assessed
using dichoptic lines or contours displaced from
one another to produce a disparity relative to a
binocularly fused object near the disparity stimulus. These stimuli contain monocular cues that
observers could potentially utilize to detect the
relative offset of the monocular images in the disparate stimulus. For example, if an observer were
to move their head, motion parallax between the
disparate images could provide a cue to the presence of the disparate image [7]. In addition, perfect ocular vergence is not required for tests of
local stereopsis. On the other hand, global stereopsis is assessed using random dot stimuli, in
which the brain must correlate matching features
of a disparate shape or gure embedded in an
array of noncorresponding and fused dots or lines
[8, 9]. Monocular features of the disparate stimulus are theoretically invisible in random dot

stereograms, although there is some evidence
that monocular cues may still be available [10,
11]. Tests of global stereopsis require very accu-
rate oculomotor (vergence) alignment (i.e., bifoveal xation) to detect the depth of the disparity
stimulus [11].
8.4 Neurophysiology
ofStereopsis
Many areas of the brain respond to correlated
random dot stereograms and can therefore be
considered to support stereoscopic depth perception [12]. Both dorsal and ventral portions of the
brain are involved in stereopsis, and brain areas
V3/V3a are important in processing random dot
stereograms. The literature suggests that neural
substrates for global and local stereopsis are different. For example, disparity detectors in the primary visual cortex are thought to be important in
processing global stereopsis but may not be as
signicant in processing local stereopsis [13].
8.5 Advantages ofStereopsis
Binocular viewing is advantageous for some
tasks compared to monocular tasks. However,
these advantages are not necessarily always
correlated with stereopsis. Conversely, there is
emerging evidence that stereopsis provides
specific advantages in tasks such as hand-eye
coordination and adapting to terrain changes
while walking [14]. O’Connor and colleagues
found that individuals with no global stereoacuity performed worse on fine motor tasks
compared to peers with normal stereoacuity
[15]. Finally, reduced stereopsis may contribute to a greater risk of falls in elderly individuals [16].
Some occupations, such as surgeons, pilots, or
architects, may require the applicants to demonstrate a particular level of stereoacuity for licensure. These requirements are supported to some
extent by studies such as that of Burgess etal.
who found that stereoacuity worse than 120″ was
correlated with reduced surgical performance on
an ophthalmic surgical simulator [17]. Al-Saud
etal. demonstrated that dentists performed better
when stereoscopic cues were available [18].
An emerging area of study is dynamic stereopsis. This is the ability of individuals to extract
motion-in-depth information from changes in
retinal disparity over time and changes in the
retinal image velocity between the two eyes of
an approaching object. Dynamic stereopsis
could be of value, for example, in avoiding or
intercepting objects, as in driving or sports. It
has been shown that individuals who lack static
stereopsis may be able to detect the motion of an
object in depth [16].

92
https://t.me/med1917
M. Buckland and N. Fogt
In summary, studies suggest that stereoscopic
depth perception enhances an individual’s quality
of life and that recovering stereopsis (in the case
of stereoblind individuals) and improving stereopsis (in individuals with reduced stereopsis) are,
therefore, worthwhile goals. Susan Barry
describes a particularly compelling example of
the impact of obtaining stereopsis in adulthood in
her book entitled “Fixing My Gaze.” [12].
8.6 Clinical Usefulness
ofStereoacuity
Measurements
Performance on clinical tests of stereopsis can be
considered the “best indicator” [19] or the “gold
standard” for binocular function, as stereoscopic
depth discrimination generally requires good
vision, good eye movement control, and properly
functioning binocular neural processing [20].
Thus, while stereoscopic discrimination thresholds in individuals with a well-functioning visual
system are very low (less than 10s of arc), these
thresholds are very sensitive to and can be elevated by a variety of visual issues.
Saladin has summarized the ocular issues that
can negatively inuence stereopsis [19]. Saladin’s
list includes reduced contrast sensitivity or blur
from uncorrected refractive error or amblyopia,
uncompensated horizontal or vertical heterophoria resulting in xation disparity, suppression,
aniseikonia, fatigue, and age.
Given this extensive list of conditions that
could potentially impact stereoscopic thresholds,
it seems that tests of stereopsis can be used to
screen for several visual disorders. However,
some studies doubt the usefulness of stereoacuity
testing as a screening tool. For example, Ohlsson
etal. concluded that commonly used clinical stereoacuity tests (Lang II, Frisby, Randot, Titmus
Stereo Fly, TNO) are inadequate in screening for
amblyopia and strabismus [21], and Richardson
etal. reported that stereoacuity measures in preschool children were not useful in screening for
unilateral vision impairment [22]. On the other
hand, there is also evidence to support the efcacy of stereoscopic tests in screening for vision
disorders [23–25] when performed in combination with other tests [26–28]. Prior to discussing
these studies, it should be noted that visual decits are more likely to negatively affect global
stereopsis compared to local stereopsis [7].
Schmidt concluded that the Random Dot E distance stereotest held promise as a (perhaps singular) screening test for detecting vision problems
(refractive error, ocular coordination, visual acuity) in preschool children [23]. Later, the Vision
in Preschoolers (VIP) study group reported several ndings related to screening preschool children for visual abnormalities. In one study, this
group concluded that in screening preschool
children for targeted disorders, including
amblyopia, strabismus, signicant refractive
error, and unexplained reduced visual acuity,
stereopsis tests (Random Dot E and Stereo
Smile II) were less sensitive than refractive and
acuity measures [27]. In the same study, a direct
comparison of the Random Dot E and Stereo
Smile II tests showed that the Stereo Smile II
test was somewhat more sensitive in detecting
vision anomalies. In 2014, the VIP study group
demonstrated that preschoolers with no measurable stereoacuity as assessed with the Stereo
Smile II stereoacuity test (now termed the PASS
or Pediatric Assessment of Stereopsis with a
Smile stereoacuity test; range of disparities
480–60s of arc) were 16.2 times more likely to
have a (VIP) targeted vision disorder [26]. In
that same study, preschool children who were
detected to have a target disorder had a median
stereoacuity of 120 s of arc compared to a
median value of 60s of arc in children with no
target disorder. In 2015, an expert panel published screening recommendations for children
36–72months of age [28]. These screening recommendations were directed at detecting
amblyopia, strabismus, and signicant refractive error. The panel concluded that while tests
of monocular visual acuity and instrumentbased measures of autorefraction are considered
“best practice” screening methods, adding the
Stereo Smile II stereotest (i.e., the PASS test)
(Fig. 8.4) to these best practice methods may
improve the detection of vision anomalies (particularly strabismus).

8 Clinical Measurement ofStereoacuity
https://t.me/med1917
Fig. 8.4 Preschool Assessment of Stereopsis with a
Smile 2 (PASS 2 Stereotest)
Lastly, stereopsis is reduced to a greater extent
in strabismus than in anisometropic amblyopia
[14], and this agrees with some (but not all)
experimental results demonstrating that screening for strabismus with stereoscopic tests is more
effective than screening for anisometropic
amblyopia with these tests [21, 25].
As alluded to previously, stereoacuities
obtained by different stereotests generally do
not match. These discrepancies can be at least
partially attributed to differences in the type of
disparity employed (global or local) [29], or
differences in the method used to achieve
dichoptic separation (anaglyphic versus polarized) [7], or differences in the method by which
the stereoscopic thresholds are assessed (e.g.,
2 or 4 alternative forced choice) [30]. Measures
of stereopsis can be used to assess the outcome
of clinical interventions such as refractive correction, orthoptic training [19, 31], and strabismus surgery [16], so it is important that
practitioners use the same stereotest in the pretreatment and posttreatment phases. An additional reason for the differences in results
between stereotests may relate to the test–retest
variability of these tests [11, 12, 32–34]. Values
for reliability assessed in this way can be rather
low, making it difcult to assess changes in
stereopsis brought about by ophthalmic
treatment.
93
8.7 Technique
8.7.1 General Clinical Instructions
forStereoacuity Testing
withCommon Static
Stereotests
The practitioner should follow the manufacturer’s instructions for each test. General instructions for practitioners in testing stereoacuity with
typical static clinical tests include:
1. Provide proper visual correction for signi-
cant refractive error, as blur from uncorrected
refractive error inuences the testing results.
Clinically stereoacuity is often performed
before refraction. If stereoacuity is absent or
reduced initially and a large change in refractive error is subsequently measured, then the
stereoacuity testing should be repeated with
the best vision correction. This can often
occur during the same appointment for older
children and adults. For younger children,
where inattentiveness could inuence the stereopsis test, stereoscopic testing may occur at
another appointment.
2. Provide proper illumination by pointing a
stand lamp at the test plates for near stereoacuity tests. Ensure that there are no shadows
or glare on the test plates.
3. Hold the test booklets directly before the
patient and ensure that the vergence posture is
appropriate for the test distance.
4. Hold the test still and instruct the patient not
to move their head during testing. Holding the
test booklet and the head still helps to avoid
monocular parallax.
5. For patients with intermittent strabismus,
measure stereoacuity before any dissociating
test, such as monocular visual acuities or
cover test [35].
6. For patients with strabismus, perform stereo-
acuity testing at the distance at which the strabismus is manifest [36]. Distance stereopsis,
for example, is a more useful measurement in
cases of divergence excess exotropia than is
near stereopsis [37]. For those with normal

94
https://t.me/med1917
M. Buckland and N. Fogt
binocular vision, stereoacuity does not tend to
vary at different testing distances [38].
7. Because most stereoacuity tests are crossed
disparity tests, ask the patient to identify or
match the target/gure that is “closer or popping out.”
8. For the Titmus Stereo Fly stereotest, to improve
condence that patients are actually seeing the
depth from the disparity, consider rotating the
test booklet to reverse the direction of the disparity or compare the results with glasses that
result in different images for the two eyes with
the results with glasses that only allow for the
same image in the two eyes [16].
8.7.2 Specic Aspects ofClinical
Stereoacuity Testing
Stereopsis develops in children as young as
3months and can reach adult-like levels between
5 [39] and 12years of age [40]. Normative stereoacuity data in children can vary according to
the clinical stereotest and the patient’s age. A
larger interpupillary distance may also be correlated with better stereoacuity [2]. For example, a
group of age-related values has been reported by
Birch etal. for the Randot Preschool Stereoacuity
test (Fig.8.5).
The Randot Preschool Stereoacuity test has a
high completion rate in preschool patients [41].
However, Read et al. have reported that about
one-half of children with binocular issues could
pass the test. The test is no more sensitive in
detecting amblyopia than detecting strabismus
[42]. The means and lower tolerance limits
(dened as the disparity value 2 standard deviations from the mean and above which 95% of the
population “would be expected to perform” in a
particular age-group), as reported by Birch etal.
for the Randot Preschool Stereoacuity test (fourbook version), are as follows [43]:
• 3years:
• 4years:
• 5years:
• 7–8years:
• 11–18years:
100″ Lower limit 400″
100″ Lower limit 200″
60″ Lower limit 200″
30″ Lower limit 60″
30″ Lower limit 60″
These mean values are similar to the age normative values for stereoacuity summarized by
Reading et al. who reported norms of approximately 150″ for ages 3–4 years, 70″ for ages
4–5years, and 40″ for ages 5–8years on various
stereoacuity tests [3].
Of course, normative stereoacuity values that
can be applied across different stereotests are difcult to establish. In addition to the aforementioned differences in test design, tests vary in the
maximum and minimum disparities included.
Further, differences between children also factor
into the choice of stereotest administered to a
particular patient. For example, a younger child
may resist wearing stereoacuity spectacles; thus,
Fig. 8.5 Randot preschool stereoacuity test

8 Clinical Measurement ofStereoacuity
https://t.me/med1917
95
a glasses-free test such as the Lang Stereotest
(Fig.8.6) may be preferred, although elimination
of monocular cues with spectacle-free tests cannot be guaranteed [11].
For monitoring improvement in binocularity
with interventions such as amblyopia treatment,
refractive correction, or orthoptic therapy, ideally, a stereotest should contain adequate disparity levels to assess changes resulting from
treatment [25]. However, assessing changes in
stereopsis that result from interventions in young
children can be difcult, at least partially because
of issues around testability. Testability is broadly
dened as a measure of how readily children can
complete a test of stereopsis. In general, testability shows a large range of values (31–81% as calculated by O’Connor and Tidbury) until about
5years of age [16].
Assuming normal binocular function for older
children and adults, stereoacuity can often be
measured to near threshold values. Saladin suggests that achieving good scores on stereoacuity
testing (15–20″) is indicative of a well- functioning
accommodation and disparity vergence system
and that threshold values >40″ are suggestive of
visual dysfunction [19].
As a guide for stereoacuity in adults, Piano
etal. published normative ranges and upper limits of normality for 16–40-year-olds on several
stereoacuity tests [44]. These values were as
follows:
• Preschool
Randot
• Frisby
• Distance
Randot
• Frisby-
Davis- 2
• TNO
Median 30″
Median 20″
Median 60″
Median 10″
Median 60″
Upper limit of
normality 70″
Upper limit of
normality 40″
Upper limit of
normality 160″
Upper limit of
normality 25″
Upper limit of
normality 120″
While the list of potential stereoacuity tests is
extensive (Table 8.1), a practitioner survey
addressing those stereotests used in the British
Isles and the USA and Canada found the Frisby
stereotest is the most used test in the British Isles
for both younger and older pediatric cohorts
while the Titmus Stereo Fly and Randot circles/
animals were more commonly used in the USA
and Canada [20]. The difference in preferred stereotests is likely secondary to disparate recommendations from professional organizations in
different geographic areas. Global stereopsis
indicates that a patient is bifoveally xating and
that constant strabismus is unlikely [11, 45], and
local stereoacuity thresholds can be more indicative of peripheral stereopsis or may be subject to
measurement artifacts because of monocular
cues [8, 11]. In summary, when choosing a stereoacuity test, the clinician must decide which
test is appropriate for the situation with regard to
patient demographics, the goal of the stereoacuity testing (presence or absence of stereopsis vs.
threshold testing), and the distance of testing.
