[Can fixation disparity be detected reliably by measurement and correctional techniques according H.J. Haase (MKH)?].

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:The theory of the "Measuring and Correction Methods of H.-J. Haase" (MCH) states that a small misalignment of one eye, called fixation disparity, indicates a difficulty in overcoming a "vergence position of rest" that is different from ortho position. This difficulty, so the theory, can cause asthenopic complaints, such as headaches, and these complaints can be relieved by prisms. The theory further claims that fixation disparity can be ascertained by a series of tests which depend on the subject's perception. The tests most decisive for the diagnosis of a so-called fixation disparity type 2 consist of stereo displays. The magnitude of the prism that allows the subject to see the test configurations in symmetry is thought to be the one that corrects the "vergence position of rest". METHODS:Nine subjects with healthy eyes in whom a "fixation disparity type 2" had been diagnosed were selected for the study. Misalignment of the eyes was determined according to the principle of the unilateral cover test. Targets identical for both eyes were presented on the screen of the Polatest E. Then, the target was deleted for one eye and the ensuing position change of the other eye was measured, using the search coil technique. This test was performed both with and without the MCH prism. RESULTS:In all 9 subjects the misalignment was less than 10 minutes of arc, i.e. in the range of normal fixation instability. Averaging across the 9 subjects, the deviation of the eye (misaligned according to MCH) was 0.79 +/- 3.45 minutes of arc in the direction opposed to that predicted by the MCH, a value not significantly different from zero. The MCH prism elicited a fusional vergence movement the magnitude of which corresponded to the magnitude of the MCH prism. CONCLUSION:Ascertaining fixation disparity with the MCH is unreliable. Accordingly, it appears dubious to correct a "vergence position of rest" on the basis of the MCH.
