الوصف: Abstract Background/aims The ability to extract depth from disparity may be hindered under fusional stress, as alignment of the eyes may be more difficult to maintain consistently. Therefore we aim to determine the effect of fusional demand on stereoacuity in individuals with no known binocular vision impairments. Methods A novel static and dynamic binocular depth detection task, capable of assessing many discrete levels of stereoacuity, was presented on digital displays attached to each tube of the Synoptophore. Stereoacuity was measured with any latent deviation fully corrected and compared to that measured at the ‘recovery’ angle. This recovery angle is where single vision is restored after decompensation to diplopia, during vergence range assessment. Results Seventy-two subjects (50 Female, 22 Male; mean (SD) age 22 (6) years) were assessed. The amount of fusional demand was between 1 and 26 prism dioptres (PD), with a mean (SD) of 8(6)PD. Under zero fusion demand the mean (SD) static and dynamic depth detection thresholds were 322(53)” and 69(23)”. Under fusional stress these were 224(40)” and 77(21)”. There was no significant difference between thresholds in stressed and zero demand fusion (p = 0.08). Dynamic depth detection thresholds were significantly lower than static (P
