A Study Of The Relationship Between A Dynamic Retinoscopic And Dynamic Cover Test Technique.

This study indicates a direct correlation exists between the alternating cover test and retinoscopy when an accommodative target is moved through a range of near distances. Correlation between the two techniques suggests that only one of them needs to be performed to identify subjects with or are at risk for binocular dysfunction. The other conclusion to be drawn is that one of these techniques should be included as a portion of a full and complete optometric examination.
