Test retest values for TNO, Frisby, Lang stereopad and Asteroid stereoacuity tests
This study aimed to determine test-retest variability of four different measurements of stereoacuity including TNO, Frisby, Lang stereopad and Asteroid, and compare stereoacuity values between tests in an adult population. Participants were >18 years of age (mean 38 years, SD...Psychiatric Consequences of Ophthalmic Disease
In part two of this series on ophthalmology and psychiatry, the authors will cover the possible psychiatric consequences of ophthalmic disease. The following conditions will be discussed: a. Black patch psychosis b. Psychological state in blindness c. Phobias in the...
