The Frisby Stereotest Near Test is a widely used tool in optometry and ophthalmology for assessing stereopsis, or depth perception, in patients. This test is particularly valuable because it does not require special glasses, making it accessible and easy to administer, especially for young children and individuals with amblyopia

The test consists of three transparent plates of varying thicknesses, each providing different levels of stereoacuity measurements ranging from 600 to 5 seconds of arc

These plates are presented to the patient one at a time against a clear background, typically provided by a fold-down flap on the storage box. The patient is asked to identify a target, which appears to stand out or recede from the background due to the stereoscopic effect

One of the key advantages of the Frisby Stereotest is its ability to test for stereopsis using natural vision. This means that even patients with reduced vision or amblyopia can be accurately assessed

The test is designed to be simple and quick, making it ideal for use in busy clinical settings. Additionally, the plates are durable and easy to handle, ensuring consistent and reliable results over time

The Frisby Stereotest is also highly regarded for its ability to provide repeatable results without the patient learning the correct responses. This is crucial for monitoring the progress of treatments and ensuring that any improvements in stereopsis are genuine.

The test is suitable for a wide range of patients, from young children to the elderly, and is used globally by optometrists, orthoptists, and ophthalmologists.
