Assessment of malingerers' visual acuity by Lotmar's visometer test.
The authors, after having mentioned several methods to detect malingering, have attempted to demonstrate the reliability of Lotmar's visometer test in assessing the real visual acuity of ten malingerers (five of whom denied bilateral vision). The authors confirmed their data with several other subjective and objective methods that demonstrated the reliability of the visometer test.
