Using a field-sequential stereoscopic TV system (Sharp X-1 turbo) and a pair of eye glasses with build in liquid crystal shutters, we studied stereopsis from far distance in patients with strabismus and normal subjects. The odd fields of the TV were designed to be. seen by the left eye and the even fields by the right eye through the liquid crystal shutters. The fields were displayed on the TV with 60 Hz. The stereoscopic patterns were drawn with a microcomputer and displayed on the TV screen. Stereopsis was detected in some cases of very young or low intelligent children in whom ordinary stereoscopic tests can not be properly performed. It was found that the stereoscopic TV system was quite useful for examining stereopsis in young patients with strabismus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
