    This study found that perceived depth on the Titmus fly test accurately estimates stereoscopic threshold. This offers a simpler method for assessing vision in patients with limited attention spans.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Vision Science
    • Optometry

    Background:

    • Random-dot stereoscopic tests are accurate but require significant patient attention.
    • Assessing stereoscopic threshold in young or infirm patients can be challenging due to attention span limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine if perceived depth on a common stereo test correlates with measured stereoscopic threshold.
    • To establish a simpler method for estimating stereoscopic threshold in patients with limited attention spans.

    Main Methods:

    • Patients underwent standard stereoscopic threshold testing.
    • Perceived depth on the Titmus fly test was measured.
    • Correlation between perceived depth and measured stereoscopic threshold was analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • A strong positive correlation was found between perceived depth on the Titmus fly and measured stereoscopic threshold.
    • A regression equation was derived to estimate stereoscopic threshold from perceived depth.
    • A table was created to aid practitioners in estimating stereoscopic threshold.

    Conclusions:

    • The Titmus fly test provides an accurate and simpler alternative for assessing stereoscopic threshold.
    • This method is particularly useful for patients who cannot complete traditional random-dot tests.
    • Clinical practice can benefit from using perceived depth as a proxy for stereoscopic threshold.
