Purpose.
It is common practice to administer stereopsis tests such as the Randot Stereotest to prospective employees for occupations requiring depth perception. However, there is no evidence that stereoacuity measured with tests such as the Randot Stereotest will predict an individual’s ability to perform a depth perception task at near.
Methods.
Forty-eight people with normal binocular vision were tested on 2 practical depth perception tests, and their stereoacuity was measured with the Randot Stereotest.
Results.
There was little correlation between stereoacuity and either of the practical tasks (r < ±0.1).
Conclusions.
These results show that Randot stereoacuity does not reliably predict depth perception ability for people who enjoy normal binocular vision. A better method for determining depth perception ability might be to issue a practical depth perception task.
At Amplify with Dr Wernick I was seeking help for seemingly intractable, probably age-related dryness. I've seen other doctors about it, and that has been helpful, but what he explained to me about it and the careful way he answered all my questions gave me so much more of a clear understanding of what is going on (and is not) that I am more able to implement all his and others' recommendations than I was before. And he gave me additional resources for further follow-up. I am most grateful.
Wow! This is a great Eye Care medical facility. I was thoroughly examined by Dr. Pinkhasov for over 2 hours. She made sure to check my eyes for pretty much everything and patiently explained proper care for my eyes. They definitely know how to provide great care and treat their patients right. Now I know why they have such a great reputation and been around for so long.
Dr. Kavner is a gifted diagnostician and orthoptic therapist. He treated me several decades ago for a condition similar to dyslexia. I was having migraines five times per week. I worked with him for about a year and I experienced tremendous improvement (down to 3-4 per year) that has lasted.
Dr. Kavner recommended two types of eye therapy for my daughter. One of them using bio-feedback. In just three sessions she is seeing considerably better. She shouted this morning: Ooh my God! I could not see these letters with my glasses on, and now I can see them without my glasses. If you are willing and able to invest in improving your vision, this is a good place to go to!

I have always found Dr Kavner's work, expertise and wisdom of the highest caliber. As one of the fathers of OT, occupational othomology, his depth and breadth of knowledge about the eyes' health and wellbeing of the patient is exemplary. Cannot say enough good things about him.
