A. Visual acuity charts screen for near sightedness, far sightedness, astigmatism, and anisometropia (visual acuity differences between the two eyes). However, it is also important to screen for muscle balance deficiencies with corneal light reflection and the cross cover test. MDH recommends the Random Dot E or the Stereobutterfly to check for stereopsis.
