Summary: Within the population of humans with otherwise normal vision, there exists some proportion whose ability to perceive depth from binocular disparity is poor or absent. The prevalence of this “stereo-anomaly” has been reported to be as small as 2%, or as great as 30%. We set out to investigate this discrepancy. We used a digital tool to measure stereoacuity in tasks requiring either the detection of disparity or the discrimination of the direction of disparity. In a cohort of 228 participants, we found that 98% were able to consistently perform the detection task. Of these, only 69% consistently performed the discrimination task. The 31% of participants who had difficulty with the discrimination task could further be divided into 17% who were consistently unable to perform the task and 14% who showed limited ability. This suggests that identification of the direction of disparity requires further processing beyond merely detecting its presence. |
