AIM:To compare the inspection result of computerized random-dot stereotest(CRDS)with TNO test and to study the clinical value of CRDS.

METHODS: Seventy-eight patients who received bilateral phacoemulsification from Januray, 2011 to June, 2011 were involved. The operations were performed by the same surgeon. Three months after the operation, CRDS and TNO test were used to evaluate the patients' stereopsis respectively. The inspection results of the two methods were compared.

RESULTS:All patients presented stereoscopic vision. There were 26 patients with foveal stereoacuity, 14 with macular stereoscopic vision and 38 with peripheral stereovision measured with CRDS, while it was 24, 11, 43 measured with TNO test. There were 32 patients with normal stereopsis, 46 patients with abnormal stereopsis and 35 patients with normal stereopsis, 43 patients with abnormal stereopsis respectively measured with CRDS and TNO test. No significant differences were found between the two methods.

CONCLUSION: The inspection result of CRDS has a high coherence with that of TNO test. It suggests that the CRDS is a reliable method for stereoaeuity evaluation in post-operative patients.
