Abstract: In the conventional cover test, examiner cannot observe the eye position or its movements while it is under an occluder. Spielman, A. developed a translucent occluder for observing the static eye position, but for being able to see the covered eye condition more clearly and exactly, there is much room for further improvement.So we searched for a more useful translucent occluder and examined various materials with patients with intermittent exotropia or dissociated vertical deviation (D. V. D).In conclusion, a vinyl chloride sheet used inwood working was the best translucent occluder for having both the covering effect and for being able to observe the covered eye condition.
