Effect of vision therapy on stereophotogrammetric profiling--a controlled clinical trial.

Abstract

A single, masked controlled clinical trial showed that vision therapy improved both the accuracy and repeatability of stereophotogrammetric performance on the profiling task with experienced, visually normal observers. The average fixation disparity measured under working conditions decreased and stereoscopic acuity as measured with a Howard-Dolman apparatus increased. The data suggest that vision therapy is most helpful for those profiling situations in which disparity stimuli are plentiful and stereopsis is the dominant depth cue.
