چکیده

A comparison was made between results obtained through the Titmus Vision Tester and those obtained through more common open field optometric procedures. Specific tests performed with the Titmus Vision Tester included near and distance visual acuities, distance lateral and vertical phorias, color discrimination, and stereo acuity. Results were also obtained using Snellen near and distance charts for visual acuities, Maddox rod for vertical and lateral phorias at distance (neutralized with prism), Ishihara plates for color discrimination, and Stereofly Wirt Dot for stereo acuity. The purpose was to determine whether results obtained by the Titmus Vision Tester are significantly different from those obtained by performing the above specific tests on the patient population.

Distance stereotesting using vision test charts for intermittent exotropia

PURPOSE To assess the role of distance stereoacuity using the System Chart SC-1600 Pola (SC) to evaluate intermittent exotropia (IXT). METHODS Stereoacuity testing was performed in 28 children with IXT and 25 age-matched control subjects using the SC test, the distance Randot stereotest for distance, and the Titmus stereotest for near stereoacuity. Ocular alignment control was defined using t...

Intraexaminer repeatability and agreement in stereoacuity measurements made in young adults.

AIM To determine the repeatability and agreement of stereoacuity measurements made using some of the most widely used clinical tests: Frisby, TNO, Randot and Titmus. METHODS Stereoacuity was measured in two different sessions separated by a time interval of at least 24h but no longer than 1wk in 74 subjects of mean age 20.6y using the four methods. The study participants were divided into two...

Stereopsis with TNO and Titmus Tests in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic University Students

Journal of Behavioral Optometry Abstract Introduction: One factor in the evaluation of binocular vision is the measurement of stereopsis. Several methods are available for this purpose. The most common procedures are anaglyphic (with use of red-green filters) and vectographic (with use of polarized filters) procedures. The purpose of this study is the determination of stereopsis with local (Tit...

Cognitive Functions and Stereopsis in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease Using 3-Dimensional Television: A Case Controlled Trial

Stereopsis or depth perception is an awareness of the distances of objects from the observer, and binocular disparity is a necessary component of recognizing objects through stereopsis. In the past studies, patients with neurodegenerative disease (Alzheimer dementia, AD; Parkinson's disease IPD) have problems of stereopsis but they did not have actual stimulation of stereopsis. Therefore in thi...

Pitfalls in the Use of Stereoacuity in the Diagnosis of Nonorganic Visual Loss.

PURPOSE The Titmus Stereotest (Stereo Optical Co., Inc., Chicago, IL) has been used to estimate visual acuity (VA) in the evaluation of nonorganic visual loss. Previous predictions were derived from optical degradation of VA in normal subjects and may not account for the variability seen in patients with neuro-ophthalmic pathologies included in the differential diagnosis of nonorganic visual lo...
