The greatest advantage of Hess/Lancaster screens is the excellent possibility to
measure and report any development of muscle palsy/insufficiency over a period
of time
measure and report the angle of squint in concomitant unilateral tropia
measure and report the angle of squint in intermittent unilateral tropia
measure and report the quality of stereoscopic sensation
The classic Fixation Disparity definition says, that
 if the patient fixates with both eyes, the fixation point will lie, at least in one eye,
off centre, but within Panum’s area
 if the patient fixates with one eye, the fixation point will lie out of the fovea
centralis
 if the patient fixates with both eyes, the fixation point will lie, at least in one eye,
out of Panum’s area
 if the patient fixates with both eyes, the fixation point will lie, in both eyes, in
the exact centre of Panum’s area

The amount of measured Exo-Fixation Disparity may be read out from the
forced vergence grid (for example from Sheedy measurement),
above the x-axis on y-intercept
below the x-axis on y-intercept
on the right of the vertical axis on x-intercept
on the left of the vertical axis on x-intercept
