Tests for Binocular vision
1. Tests for Binocular Vision
all the tests are aimed at assessing the presence or absence of:
✓Normal or abnormal retinal correspondence
✓Suppression
✓Simultaneous perception
✓Fusion
✓Stereopsis
10/18/2022 1
2. before any test is undertaken it is essential to assess the:
• visual acuity
• fixation in the squinting eye
• direction and size of deviation
10/18/2022 2
3. Tests for Retinal Correspondence
clinically the tests used can be based on either of the two principles:
1. assessment of relationship between the fovea of the fixing eye and the
retinal area stimulated in the squinting eye; this includes:
• Bagolini's striated glasses test
• Red filter test
• Synaptophore using SMP slides
• Worth's 4 dot test
10/18/2022 3
4. 2. assessment of the visual directions of the two foveas; included in this
are:
• After image test (Hering Bielschowsky)
• Cuppers binocular visuoscopy test (foveo-foveal test of Cuppers)
10/18/2022 4
6. • required equipments are: BSG’s, torch
• BSG’s are glasses of no dioptric power that have many narrow
striations running parallel in one meridian
• these glasses cause the fixation light to appear as an elongated streak
perpendicular to the striations
• the lenses are usually placed at 45 degree OS and 135 degree OD and
the patient fixates for distance or near
10/18/2022 6
7. • this test is used to determine the direction of a pseudofovea, abnormal
retinal correspondence, suppression and diplopia
• the test is performed under dim light
• if the patient uses prescription glasses ask him to wear it
• place the BSG infront of the patient’s eye
• shine a light towards the patients nose bridge
• the patient is asked to describe or draw what they have seen
10/18/2022 7
8. Ask the following questions:
• how many lights do you see?
• how many lines do you see?
• do the lines cross?
• are the two lines seen at the same time?
• do the lines intersect through the light?
• do the lines have any gaps in them?

10. Synoptophore (Major Amblyoscope)
• derived from greek word: syn-with, ops-eye and phoros-bearing
• is haploscopic device based on the mechanical dissociation of the two
eyes by means of two optical tubes
• used for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes
• used to diagnose anomalies of BV with targets that are presented to
each eye
• can be used to detect and quantify suppression, determine retinal
correspondence, measure the size and shape of a suppression scotoma,
measure primary/secondary deviations and determine fusional
potential
10/18/2022 10
14. Diagnostic uses
• estimation of grade of BSV
• measurement of subjective and objective angle of deviation
• to investigate the state of retinal correspondence
• to estimate the presence and type of suppression
• measurement of fusional vergence
• measurement of angle kappa
• measurement of AC/A ratio
10/18/2022 14
15. Therapeutic uses: it is used in the treatment of
• Suppression
• ARC
• Amblyopia with eccentric fixation
• Accomodative esotropia
• Heterophorias and intermittent heterophorias
10/18/2022 15
16. Worth's 4 dot test
• used for assessing a patient’s degree of binocular vision or the status of
peripheral binocular cooperation
• contain four dots (1 red, 2 green and 1 white)
• can be done at distance (6m) or near (33cm)
• the required equipments are: illuminated box or flash light containing
the four dots and red green filter
• if the patient uses prescription glasses ask him to wear it
• the test is performed under dim light
10/18/2022 16
17. • put the red filter over the right eye and the green filter over the left eye
• turn on the flash light slightly below the line of sight
• cover the LE and ask how many dots they see (they should report 2
red)
• cover the RE and ask how many dots they see (they should report 3
green)
• for binocular test with both eyes uncovered ask how many dots they
see (if normal fusion is present they should report 4 dots)
10/18/2022 17
18. Patient’s response and their interpretation:
1. if 4 dots seen (one red dot in the top, two green dots either side and
one orange dot at the bottom): BSV
2. only 3 green dots: patient is seeing through the left eye: Right
suppression
3. only 2 red dots means left eye image is suppressed: Left suppression
4. 3 green dots and 2 red dots alternatively: right eye image and left
eye image is suppressed alternatively: Alternate suppression
10/18/2022 18
19. 5. 5 dots i.e 2 red dots on the right and 3 green dots in the left side
which means RE image is on the right side and LE image is on the left
side: Uncrossed diplopia
6. 5 dots i.e 3 green dots on the right and 2 red dots on the left side
which means RE image is on the left side and LE image is on the right
side: Crossed diplopia
7. 5 dots i.e 2 red dots above and 3 green dots below: Vertical diplopia
with Rt hypotropia or Lt hypertropia
10/18/2022 19
20. 8. 5 dots i.e 3 green dots above and 2 red dots below: Vertical diplopia
with Lt hypotropia or Rt hypertropia

21. After image test (Hering Bielschowsky)
• to determine the relationship between the foveal projection of both
eyes
• performed on synoptophore using after image slides
• the fixating eye is stimulated with a horizontal line and the deviating
eye with the vertical line (for 10-15 sec each)and the patient is asked
to see at its center
• then the patient is asked to close his eyes and open the eyes after a few
sec then look at the wall
10/18/2022 21
23. Results
• in NRC the patient will see the perfect cross
• in cases of manifest strabismus because the foveae project to different
points in space a displaced after-image is produced by the deviating
eye
10/18/2022 23
24. Visuoscopy test
• visuoscope is a modified ophthalmoscope that projects a fixation target
on the fundus
• determines whether the two foveas have common or different visual
directions
• it permits quantitative analysis of the angle of anomaly when eccentric
fixation is present
10/18/2022 24
26. Tests for presence of fusion
• Worth’s 4-dot test
• Bagolini’s striated glasses
• Synaptophore
10/18/2022 26
27. Tests for Stereopsis
• Titmus test
• TNO random dot stereo test
• Lang’s stereo test
• Random dot E test
• Frisby test
• Stereoscopic targets presented haploscopically in major amblyoscope
• Lang’s two pencil test
10/18/2022 27
28. Titmus test
• measure how minutely the two
eyes can discern differences in
the distances of objects from the
observer
• three tests are presented:
1. the house fly test- establishes
the presence of gross stereopsis
2. the circle patterns-tests fine
depth discrimination.
3. three rows of animals
10/18/2022 28
29. TNO Test
• consists of 7 plates to be viewed,
with red-green goggles, that
carry figures that can be seen
only when both eyes cooperate to
give stereoscopic vision
• within each plate the dots of one
color form the target shape
• tested at a distance of 40 cm
10/18/2022 29
30. Frisby test
• consists of 3 transparent plastic
plates of varying thickness(6,3
and 1mm)
• each plate consists of 4 squares
produced by random shapes
printed on one side
• one of the squares contains a
hidden circle
• 6, 3 and 1mm plates produces
stereopsis of 340, 170 and 55 sec
arc respectively
10/18/2022 30
31. Random dot E test
• consist of demonstration plate
and two test plates
• each of the test plate is printed
with a polarized random dot
pattern and requires the use of
polarized glass
• a patient who has stereopsis will
see a raised letter E in the
random dot pattern of one of the
test plates, where the other test
plate is blank
10/18/2022 31
32. Lang two pencil test
• to detect gross stereopsis
• the patient attempts to place a
pencil on top of one held by
examiner
• patient who possess stereopsis
will find it easier to perform the
test with both eyes open than
monocularly
10/18/2022 32
33. Tests used to diagnose suppression are:
• Worth's four dot test
• Synoptophore
• Amsler Grid
• 4 Δ prism base out test
• Red filter test
• Bagolini’s striated glasses
10/18/2022 33
34. Red Filter Test
• primarily used to assess the depth of suppression and ARC
• patient fixes on torch – a single torch (red) should be seen due to either
suppression or ARC
• the red filter glass is placed infront of the fixating eye- always
commence with the lightest filter
• increase filter until diplopia is appreciated (one red and one white
light)
• the filter of last single vision is documented
10/18/2022 34
36. 4 Δ Prism base out test
• quick, sensitive screening test to assess whether bifoveal fusion or
suppression of one fovea is present
• confirms the presence of microtropia
• sudden displacement of an image with a base out prism from one
fovea onto the parafoveal temporal retina will elicit a refixation
movement if the image has been shifted within a normally functioning
retina, but no movement will occur if the image has been shifted
within a nonfunctioning (that is, scotomatous) area
10/18/2022 36
38. Amsler grid chart
• used to plot central and
paracentral scotomas
• the chart usually consists of a
square grid of black lines on a
white background
• the patient describes or draws
how the grid appears, thus
demonstrating the scotoma
