Effect of reduced accommodative response on isoluminance stereothreshold.
A previous study has shown that stereothreshold varies as a function of the luminance difference between a target and its background. On the average, the stereothreshold at the isoluminance point is three times higher than when there is maximum luminance difference between the target and the background. One of the possible reasons for this finding is the effect of less than optimum accommodative response for isoluminant targets. This possibility has been investigated in this study. The results show that the suboptimal accommodative response cannot explain the high stereothreshold at isoluminance.
