A reading magnifier formed by a bundle of juxtaposed longitudinally tapered optical fibers having a viewing end and a flat base end. The flat base end is cut at a bias across the bundle of optical fibers such that a line normal to the flat base end forms an acute angle with the direction of orientation of the optical fibers. The viewing end of the bundle may also be cut at an angle relative to the optical fibers. The reading magnifier provides a cone of light admittance that is skewed at an angle relative to a cylinder normal to the flat base end. The tilted admittance cone may also be achieved by bending the bottom portion of a bundle of tapered continuous optical fibers.

A visual function tester with binocular vision testing capabilities is disclosed, which includes a video display monitor and optical means, such as stereo vision glasses, to control the patient's viewing of the display. The opening and closing of the apertures of the glasses is synchronized to the display of a variety of visual acuity images. Certain images are made visible to each eye but not visible to the other, and certain images are displayed such that they appear out of the plane of the images. Methods for use of the apparatus are also disclosed.
