Dashevsky-Samoilov Test

The Dashevskaya-Samoilov test is a method for studying vision and oculomotor function, developed by Soviet ophthalmologists A. I. Dashevsky and A. Ya. Samoilov. This test is used to assess the patient's ability to correctly focus vision on an object.

The essence of the test is that the patient is asked to look at two points located at different distances from the eyes. In this case, one point is close and the other is far. The patient's task is to correctly focus vision on each of the points without changing the position of the head and eyes.

The Dashevskaya-Samoilov test allows you to assess the patient’s ability to focus on objects located at different distances. It can also be used to determine the degree of nearsightedness or farsightedness.

The Dashevskaya-Samoilova test method is widely used in ophthalmological practice and allows you to quickly and accurately determine the patient’s vision condition.
