Abstract |
Tests for monocular and binocular sensitivity, by a method previously described by the author, were made upon 101 subjects with the view to determine the reliability of the tests and the relation of the results to the findings of ophthalmologic examinations. The records reveal the fact that individual differences exceed the variations of results of any one subject, even after practice has proceeded through four consecutive tests. It appears that there is little, if any, relation between visual defects as found by ophthalmologic examinations and retinal sensitivity, unless the defects are large and numerous. Binocular acuity is dependent chiefly upon the eye of better vision, whereas binocular sensitivity is more dependent on the visual acuity of the eye with poorer vision.
