THE RELATION OF 'DUCTION' TO DYNAMIC STEREOACUITY

Abstract

The relation between duction break-recovery (B/R) ratios and localization error in a test of dynamic stereoacuity was examined in 73 young men. Positive (near) localization errors, esophoria, high negative spherical correction, high adductive and low abductive B/R ratios were found to be related. Positive errors were associated with high adductive and low abductive B/R midpoints for esophores, but the relationship for exophores was not clear. The difference between adductive and abductive B/R ratios increased with increasing positive error. The difference between adductive and abductive B/R midpoints was greater for esophores than exophores and increased with increasing positive error. The magnitude of error was related to the magnitude of the spherical correction which the subject wore during the experiment. The direction and magnitude of the localization errors were not much more predictable from the duction measures than from the phorias.
