Stereo distance in XT

1 April 2018 | | Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus | far stereoacuity, intermittent exotropia, near stereoacuity, stereoacuity, test distance

The test distance effect on stereoacuity was explored in a population with intermittent exotropia along with use of two types of stereograms with crossed and uncrossed disparity. At near and distance distances, the median for both disparities was 60”; 79%...
