Cheiroscopic Testing Protocol

Dr. Wolff's Stand-Up Stereoscope and Testing Protocol

Dr. Wolff adapted the stereoscope into a stand-up instrument, based on the principle that natural human posture is upright, balanced on two feet, and oriented toward distant vision. From this foundational stance, the full range of human movement emerges.

The testing protocol was designed to assess visually directed movements in a structured, sequential manner. It consists of three key sections:

  • Direct Cheiroscopic Tracings
  • Indirect Cheiroscopic Tracings
  • Van Orden Star

1. Direct Cheiroscopic Tracings

The first two tracings assess eye-hand coordination on each side of the body separately:

  • The first tracing uses one eye and one hand on the same side to trace a simple rectangle.
  • The second tracing uses the opposite eye and hand for the same task.

These direct tracings provide an initial evaluation of eye-hand coordination and serve as a baseline for comparison with the subsequent indirect tracings.

2. Indirect Cheiroscopic Tracings

In indirect cheiroscopic tracings, the patient uses both eyes but only one hand:

  • One eye sees only the pattern to be traced.
  • The other eye sees only the pencil.

Through normal binocular function (assisted by the stereoscope's optics), the brain fuses the two images, creating the perception that the pencil is tracing directly over the pattern--when, in reality, the reproduction is being made to the side of the original pattern.

Two separate tracings are performed by shifting the pattern from one side to the other, ensuring that:

  • One tracing is completed with the right hand.
  • The other is completed with the left hand.

These tracings offer insights into binocular function, including quality, stability, and potential suppression issues.

3. Van Orden Star

The final phase of testing, the Van Orden Star, engages both eyes and both hands simultaneously:

  • The patient must match corresponding points on both sides and draw lines that appear to connect at the center.
  • This task requires precise spatial coordination and an organized visual approach.
  • Beyond the final pattern, how the patient completes the task provides valuable insights into their visual processing and organizational skills.

Utilization of Test Results

Each test yields physical tracings that serve as graphic evidence of visual function. These:

  • Illustrate specific visual difficulties a patient may experience.
  • Provide a baseline for future comparisons, allowing assessment of progress over time.
  • Allow lens trials, as the instrument includes lens wells, enabling the use of trial lenses for additional evaluations.

By combining structured assessments with recorded visual data, this testing protocol provides clinicians with a powerful tool for understanding and improving binocular vision function.

Enhance your visual training and binocularity with our Padula Basic Diamond Drawings Tracing Pad. This tracing form was designed to help you assess and improve binocular vision by guiding you through a precise drawing technique that reveals any instability in eye alignment.

Created by Dr. William V. Padula, OD, this cheiroscopic tracing form allows clinicians to assess eso or exo deviations, as well as binocular instability. Comes as a pad of 100 tracing sheets.

Diamond Drawing Cheiroscopic Tracing Exercise

Enhance your binocular vision and assess the stability of your eye alignment with our Diamond Drawing Stereoscope Exercise. Designed for individuals seeking to strengthen their visual skills, this exercise offers an effective way to monitor and improve binocular stability, crucial for everyday tasks that require precise visual coordination.

How It Works

Using the included diamond drawing sheet and stereoscope, you'll be able to assess your binocular stability in just a few simple steps. When you look through the stereoscope, you should see three horizontal lines. If you see fewer, it may indicate suppression in your visual field. The exercise involves using a pencil in each hand to draw a diamond shape, helping you gauge the coordination and stability of your eyes.

Key Features

  • Line Visibility Check: Quickly identify any suppression issues by ensuring all three horizontal lines are visible through the stereoscope.
  • Binocular Coordination Test:
    • Use two pencils to draw a diamond shape, following a precise pattern that helps you evaluate the alignment and stability of your vision.
    • Aim the pencil tips to the center line, making them appear to touch, and draw a small dot.
    • Move the pencils to the top line, noting the distance from the center.
    • Draw lines to create a diamond shape, first down and left, then up and right, keeping the pencil tips appearing to touch throughout.
  • Customizable Exercise Routine:
    • Repeat the diamond drawing five times to reinforce your visual skills.
    • Experiment with drawing in different directions for varied exercises.
    • Use both pencils simultaneously to draw in opposite directions for a more challenging workout.
  • Immediate Feedback:
    • Observe any shifts or irregularities in the diamond shape to detect potential deviations.
    • Identify eso or exo deviation, which may indicate instability in your binocular vision.

Benefits

  • Enhances binocular vision and eye alignment stability.
  • Improves consistency and accuracy in binocular tasks.
  • Valuable addition to vision therapy programs.
  • Provides insights into binocular stability and potential issues.

Strengthen your visual skills and gain valuable insights into your binocular stability with the Diamond Drawing Stereoscope Exercise--an essential tool for anyone looking to improve their visual coordination and eye alignment.
