    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To compare standard orthoptic tests with a novel digital 3D orthoptic platform, 3DeltaEasy(©) from Orthoptica(®). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study tests the 3D digital orthoptics platform, 3DeltaEasy(©) from Orthoptica(®) and compares it to the corresponding standard orthoptic tests. This platform consists of a computer equipped with dedicated software, a video projector and 3D liquid crystal glasses. Three tests were compared: Wirt test, measurement of horizontal and vertical phorias, and the horizontal fusional amplitude in convergence and divergence. A total of 102 subjects, 53 males (52 %) and 49 females (48 %), aged between 9 years and 72 years (mean age 33±16.4 years) were examined at the ophthalmologic department of the Brest Hospital (France) and included in this observational cross-sectional study. Subjects recruited in this study were patients requiring orthoptic screening or therapy. Patients without their optimal visual corrections were excluded. All patients underwent both ophthalmological and orthoptic examination including Wirt fly stereotest with polarizing spectacles, cover tests to evaluate and measure the horizontal and vertical deviation of the lines of sight, horizontal vergence ranges using prism bar and their equivalent tests implemented in the digital 3D orthoptic tests 3DeltaEasy(©) from Orthoptica(®). RESULTS: All data were processed using MedCalc Statistical Software version 14.12.0 (MedCalc Software bvba, Ostend, Belgium). The main result of this study is that 3DeltaEasy(©) and the classical Wirt test are correlated (Spearman's coefficient of rank correlation: ρ=0.74; P<0.0001), cover tests are equivalent for intermediate and far vision (paired t-test; P=0.46 and P=0.51), and horizontal and vertical vergence range are comparable for distance vision (paired t-test; P=0.34 and P=0.94). CONCLUSION: New digital 3D tools could easily substitute for some orthoptic tests with better ergonomics. Eventually, by increasing the number of tests performed, it could substitute for nearly all tests.
