TESTS FOR STEREOPSIS
31ST DEC 2011
STEREOPSIS
Binocular visual depth perception
based on retinal rivalry.
It can be measured quantitatively in
seconds of arc.
 Local stereopsis - This is detected with
stereograms that have individual elements
such as lines, edges or contours, such as
the Wirt circles found in the Titmus
stereo test .
 Global stereopsis - This is detected
using random dot stereograms such as the
Lang I and II, and the TNO test.
 Two-Pencil Test
 Synaptophore or Major
Amblyoscope
 Stereogram
 Titmus Stereo Test
 Random-Dot Stereograms
 TNO Test
 Lang Test
Key points
 Good illumination is required.
Sufficient presentation time is
needed to allow appreciation of the
disparity.
LANG'S TWO-PENCIL TEST
Qualitative measurement..
 The test is performed with
both eyes open and then with
the 'weaker' eye covered.
 The responses are compared.
SYNAPTOPHORE
MAJOR AMBLYOSCOPE
STEREOPSIS SLIDES
 The object seen in depth, which has
the least disparity, denotes the
patient’s stereoscopic threshold.
TNO TEST
 Consists of seven plates: three gross
stereo plates, one suppression plate and
three graded plate
 Ranging from 480 to 15 seconds of arc.

LANG STEREOTEST
 The targets are seen alternately by each eye, and
are then fused to create the disparity.
 The Lang I test - a cat, a star and a car –
 1200 to 550 seconds of arc.
 The Lang II test - a star ,a car, an elephant and a
moon
 200 seconds of arc.
FRISBY STEREOTEST
 Random triangular shapes
 Three plastic plates of different thickness: 6, 3
and 1 mm.
 Each plate has four squares of shapes

 600 to 15 seconds of arc.
TITMUS STEREOTEST
 3000 seconds of arc
 The second plate consists of nine sets of four
circles (Wirt circles).
 800 to 40 seconds of arc.
RANDOT STEREOTEST
 Six random dot shapes.
 500 to 250 seconds of arc.
 The second plate consists of circles, measuring
from 400 to 200seconds of arc and three rows of
animals with disparities from 400 to 100 seconds of
arc.
