Misleading clinical stereoacuity levels in pediatric maculopathy
Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus , 10/28/09

Parkinson J et al. – The authors report 3 cases involving pediatric maculopathy in which stereoacuity was relatively unaffected by reduced visual acuity. Along with the initial normal fundus appearance, which is frequently observed in pediatric maculopathy, good stereoacuity suggested functional visual acuity loss and delayed proper diagnosis in the first 2 cases. In the third case, visual–evoked potentials, electroretinography, and fluorescein angiography documented organic components; the eventual addition of a multifocal electroretinogram afforded a prompt diagnosis of maculopathy.
