Currently used binocular examination tests are subjective and some patients give inconsistent answers impairing the reliability of the outcome. These tests cannot be performed on patients with limited ability to cooperate. This study demonstrates that the use of retinoscopy in the evaluation of binocular balance delivers reliable results and is a low-cost, practical approach to address the above-mentioned problems.
