Description
Fascinating set of 10 antique stereoscope cards originally created for optometry and vision therapy use. These stereoview cards were designed to be viewed through a stereoscope such as a Holmes or Brewster stereoscope to help patients develop binocular vision, improve depth perception, and assist in treatment for conditions including strabismus and amblyopia.
A wonderful piece of early medical history and visual science, these cards make an excellent addition to collections of antique medical instruments, ophthalmology memorabilia, optical devices, or Victorian/early 20th century ephemera.
The cards feature paired photographic or printed images intended to merge into a single 3D image when viewed through a stereoscope. Originally used in professional vision training and therapeutic exercises.
