In order to have a comfortable vision without any asthenopia in work place, it is very necessary to make a complete binocular correction in addition to the perfect correction of refractive deficits. For this, At first, the exact understanding of the required corrective value of the existing angular ametropia(associated phoria) is needed. The fact likely seems fact that a correction of refractive deficits could not to be reached with single optotype, the corrections of angular ametropia(associated phoria) with single optotype is impossible. The reason is that a most ametropia(associated phoria) is accompanied with the fixation disparity. To make a perfect measurement of ametropia(associated phoria), at least, 3 kinds of optotype is essential. This fact could be explained by stating the fusional stimulus in the binocular refraction tests on each eye. If these types of three tests have not practical practice. The most of many cases may result in undercorrection.
