Two independent ophthalmologists examined the angle of deviation using the Krimsky test and prism and alternate cover test (PCT). Full-face photographs were obtained using an 8.2-megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera, and the images were analysed using the 3D Strabismus Photo Analyzer. The images were adjusted for age-dependent ophthalmic biometry and angle κ. The main outcome measures were inter-observer variability, test‐retest reliability and correlation between the angles of deviation measured by different methods.Results The 95% limit of agreement of inter-observer variability was ±3.5° (6.1 prism dioptres (PD)), ±3.1° (5.4 PD) and ±1.5° (2.6 PD) for the Krimsky test, PCT and the 3D Strabismus Photo Analyzer, respectively. The test‐retest reliability was ±2.8° (4.9 PD) for the 3D Strabismus Photo Analyzer versus the Krimsky test. The results of the Krimsky test and 3D Strabismus Photo Analyzer showed a strong positive correlation.Conclusions The 3D Strabismus Photo Analyzer is a simple and reliable tool for measuring ocular deviation. It has excellent agreement with the Krimsky test and substantially improved reproducibility. ER -
