Résumé / Abstract

The results of the cover test, visual acuity, Frisby screening plate, and Lang II stereotest of 102 children aged between 3 years and 4 years and 5 months were analysed in order to evaluate the stereotests. Ninety-five children demonstrated no deviation, four heterophoria, three esotropia. There were no cases of exotropia or microtropia. No child had a visual acuity below 6/12. A significant lack of agreement was found between the results of the Lang II stereotest and the cover test, and the Frisby screening plate. The results of the Lang II stereotests had a sensitivity of 43% when compared to a visual acuity (VA) referral criterion of 6/9. No significant differences were found between the results of the Frisby screening plate and the cover test. The results of the Frisby screening plate had a poor sensitivity of 13% when compared with results of the VA tests. However, the Lang II stereotest is the more reliable of the two tests that were evaluated. These results show that the Lang II stereotest and Frisby screening plate should not be used as a replacement for an assessment of visual acuity in pre-school vision screening.
