PURPOSE: This study evaluated newly designed tests to measure near heterophoria, comparing them to the Maddox Wing and Howell card, and assessed whether accommodative responses differed between the different heterophoria test targets.
METHODS: Near horizontal heterophoria of 20 visually normal young adults was measured using the Maddox Wing, Howell Card and two versions of a newly designed Huddersfield Heterophoria Test (HHT) card. The HHT cards are based on the Prentice method, either with or without an additional spatially defined grating superimposed on the scale. The addition of a spatially defined grating has been suggested to control accommodation better. A single examiner was used to take measurements on two separate occasions, presenting each test in a random order. Monocular accommodative responses to each heterophoria target were also obtained in a separate session by another examiner.
RESULTS: Heterophoria measurements between the four tests were not significantly different, neither clinically nor statistically. Differences in test-retest measurements between test and retest conditions were small and not significantly different. Mean accommodative responses were also not significantly different between the test targets.
CONCLUSIONS: Differences in target configurations in the Maddox Wing, Howell card or new HHT cards did not influence accommodative responses in a sample of young adults. The newly designed HHT cards (or other variations of the Prentice method) may be used to measure near horizontal heterophoria in a young adult population either with or without additional horizontal lines superimposed on the scale.
