Figure 1
Schematic depicting retinal stimulation by virtual stereoimages with traditional stereoacuity testing and reverse stereoacuity testing. The solid lines in both the traditional stereoacuity (A) and reverse stereoacuity (B) schematic depict the projection of light from a point located in the plane of the stereoacuity book (vertex of each pair of solid lines) onto the fovea of each retina. In traditional stereoacuity testing (A) the virtual image projects closer to the patient (represented by the vertex of the dashed lines). Light rays from this virtual image (dashed lines) project to the temporal retina corresponding to the nasal visual field. In reverse stereoacuity testing (B) the virtual image projects further from the patient (represented by the vertex of the dashed lines). Light rays from this virtual image (dashed lines) project to the nasal retina corresponding to the temporal visual field.
