Ask your Eye Person - Depth Perception

mardi 31 mars 2015

Hi all,



Because we as shooters rely so much on our eyes for our skills, besides checking your eye dominance, ask for a depth perception test or stereopsis test. Ophthalmologists should have this in their office, maybe optometrists will, maybe not.



A depth perception test can be a really quick test on a Titmus II vision tester or newer equipment where you can determine how good your depth perception is with both eyes. This quick and dirty test can help explain why one might inexplicably miss more skeet/trap/sporting clays at distance. The Titmus II uses a 9-point scale from excellent (9/9) to very very bad 0/9).



You wouldn't believe how this measurement can vary in the population. I've had more than a few Soldiers come in for research that score 2/9 or 3-4/9 on a 9/9 possible scale (Titmus II). They had no idea.



Shouldn't cost anything extra. Might help you understand your own vision capabilities better.



Cheers,
