Abstract

Judgement of distances was evaluated in 19 patients with comitant esotropia and without appreciable stereopsis. In nine patients anomalous retinal correspondence (ARC) was present at Bagolini's striated glasses. In the remaining patients there was suppression with the same test. Distance judgement of strabismics with ARC does not differ statistically from that one of normals. Significantly different results were found in strabismics with suppression. It is concluded that ARC is not only an anti-diplopic mechanism, but provides the patients with useful clues in their daily life.
