Effect of target size on anomalous sensory responses in the Bagolini striated lens test.
Different results obtained by different methods of retinal correspondence testing are generally accepted to be a sign of the depth of the anomalous sensory adaptation. The Bagolini striated lens test is considered a standard "natural" test to which others are compared. In this study, the Bagolini striated lens test was performed on 25 strabismic subjects using three target sizes in order to determine if target size might be a factor in response variability. Kappa Measure of Agreement, used to analyze the results statistically, showed a moderately high to high level of agreement among the three targets. This indicates that practitioners can feel confident of consistent test results on the striated lens test using any of the three readily available target sizes selected. A brief literature review has been provided as a guide to the theories of strabismus and correspondence and to emphasize the purpose of this research.
