EFFECT OF AGE ON STEREOPSIS

Masoud Poudineh

Zahedan University of Medical Sciences, Iran

Purpose:

To evaluate the effect of age on stereopsis.

Methods:

We evaluated stereoacuity using TNO and titmus test after full

correction of refractive errors in 87 randomly selected subjects aged 5-80

years.

Results:

There was a significant relationship between stereopsis and age

such that stereoacuity increased with aging (ANOVA, P<0.001).

Conclusion:

Stereopsis decreases with aging and therefore age of the patient

should be considered in this regard.

Key words:

Stereopsis, Titmus, TNO, Age
