Résumé

On a utilisé une unité quasi-Mallett modifiée pour générer des courbes de disparité par fixation de vergence forcée chez 84 patients présentant des symptômes et 5 0 autres n 'en présentant aucun. Après avoir calculé la pente centrale pour chaque patient on n'a trouvé aucune différence importante entre Les groupes présentant des symptômes et Les groupes sans symptôme quant au type et à la pente centrale des courbes.
