Clinical application comparison of three different methods for detecting children near stereoacuity

Abstract

AIM: To compare the differences of Titmus stereopsis test, random dot by Yan Shaoming and another random-dot which by Jin Guichang on stereopsis inspection in children. METHODS: Near binocular stereoacuity of 81 cases(5-7 years)was examined with three kinds of methods under the same test conditions. The results were analyzed statistically.RESULTS: The results of Yan stereo and Titmus stereopsis had no significant difference(χ2=0.2282, P=0.6329). There were significant differences on both normal stereopsis and abnormal stereopsis results by Jin stereo and the other two methods(χ2=58.1692, PCONCLUSION: The results of Yan's random dot stereogram and Titmus stereopsis test are similar, while large difference is in the Jin stereopsis inspection. In clinical application, Different methods should be used to evaluate stereoscopic vision.
