    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Stereopsis thresholds in individuals with normal vision show no age or sex differences. This study confirms reliable stereopsis measurements across diverse age groups, vital for visual function research.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Vision Science
    • Psychophysics

    Background:

    • Stereopsis, the perception of depth, is crucial for visual function.
    • Understanding factors influencing stereopsis thresholds is important for diagnosing visual impairments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To measure stereopsis thresholds in a large cohort of individuals with normal visual acuity.
    • To investigate the influence of age and sex on stereopsis thresholds.
    • To assess the test-retest reliability of stereopsis measurements.

    Main Methods:

    • Stereopsis thresholds were measured in 242 participants aged 8 to 46 years.
    • Participants had normal visual acuity.
    • Statistical analysis was performed to identify trends and differences.

    Main Results:

    • No significant trend in stereopsis thresholds was observed with increasing age.
    • No significant sex differences in stereopsis thresholds were found.
    • The mean log-second threshold was 0.74 ± 0.21, with a test-retest reliability coefficient of 0.70 ± 0.05.

    Conclusions:

    • Age and sex do not significantly impact stereopsis thresholds in individuals with normal vision.
    • The measurement of stereopsis thresholds demonstrates good reliability.
    • These findings contribute to normative data for stereopsis assessment.
