Division Description Test method
Phoria test -
(Fixation point of
cross phoria)
This test is for
measuring
vertical/horizontal
fixation disparity of
right or left eye by
using Red/Green
filter.
1. Show cross phoria test type to a patient.
2. Let a patient wear Red/Green glasses (right eye = red filter, left
eye = green filter). The patient sees « » mark in a right eye and
« » mark in a left eye on cross phoria test type. The binocular
condition would be ideal, if the patient could see « » mark.
3. Judge a patient's binocular function as below, while asking him
how the type is seen.
