Worth 4 dot test flashlight projects onto a central retinal area of 1 degree or less when viewed at ten feet well within the 1 to 4 degrees of small angle deviations. The four dot test is commonly used to test the sensory status of patients with phorias or tropias in cooperative patients. We performed the test on 35 patients who had strabismus. A masked examiner predicted what will be the response of the patient, the test was then performed and the results compared with the masked examiner. We did not find any difference between the results of the masked examiner and the interpretation of the patient. If surgery is performed early in life what is the implication of sensory testing and what is consequences on the binocular vision later in life? These questions remain to be answered.
