Steropsis

OVERVIEW

This test helps the examiner evaluate the quality of the patient’s depth perception. While wearing special polarized glasses, the patient looks at a series of 3-D objects that range from being very raised to nearly flat. In each series, the patient is asked to select the object with the greatest 3-D effect.
