Abstract

In this paper, we report the results of estimating the minimum frequency of alternative left-right stereopair image presentation necessary to obtain stereopsis in children with ophthalmopathology including or not including binocular disorders. It was found that all subjects without binocular disorders had stereo-effect with both linear and random-dot images. However, for the stereopsis with random-dot stereotests, all children required a higher frequency of alternation than for the stereopsis with simple linear images. It was found that approximately 90% of children with binocular disorders were able to perceive depth when simple linear stereoscopic images were presented alternatively to the two eyes. However, these patients required a higher frequency of alternation than the children with normal binocular functions. Only a small part (approximately 30%) of children with binocular disorders was capable of stereopsis with complex random-dot images, and they required a fairly high frequency (more than 30 Hz) of alternation for success.
