Why clinicians choose Frisby

A direct, intuitive way to assess stereopsis.

The patient identifies a target that appears in depth within a random-pattern field. Because the effect is created by a genuine difference in depth, testing can take place under natural binocular viewing conditions.

Observe natural responses

No test glasses obscure the eyes, helping the examiner observe eye movements, pointing and preferential looking.

Screen or measure

Choose rapid screening with the pocket format or quantify stereoacuity with the three-plate near test and FD2 distance test.

Accessible across ages

The simple target-location task is especially useful with young, shy or pre-verbal children and remains appropriate for adults.

Natural viewing. Real depth.
How the near test works

Real depth, presented in a simple clinical task.

Each transparent plate contains random-pattern areas. In one area, a circular target is printed on the opposite surface of the plate, creating a true depth difference when viewed binocularly.

Present the plate correctly

Hold the plate square to the patient and above a plain background according to the test instructions.

Ask the patient to locate the target

The patient points to or looks toward the random-pattern square containing the circle that appears raised or recessed.

Screen or establish threshold

Vary target position and, when measuring stereoacuity, use plate thickness and viewing distance to determine the lowest reliably detected disparity.

Choose the right Frisby test

One family. Three clinical formats.

Select a portable screener, a comprehensive near stereoacuity test, or a real-distance assessment system.
