This paper describes a modification of the standard method for measuring near-point fusional vergence reserves that reduces dependency upon patient's verbal responses by employing a fixation target that can be perceived accurately only when viewed binocularly. As such, the procedure is particularly useful with young children whose subjective responses often tend to be unreliable. Data from 34 preschool children are reported.
The paper argues that the primary-care practitioner has an obligation to screen the visual and auditory perceptual skills of all his/her elementary school-aged patients. Two easy-to-administer tests are described, along with guidelines for interpreting and making decisions on the basis of test outcomes.
Sixty nursery-school children (ages 39--76 months) were screened with a modified-clinical method (visual acuity, retinoscopy, cover test, NPC) and with a relatively new vectographic test for stereopsis--the Random Dot E. Screening outcomes indicate that the RDE was as effective in identifying children for referral as was the modified clinical battery. Implications are discussed.
