Opacities in the cornea, crystalline lens, and vitreous may make conventional measurements of retinal/visual function of little value. Here, we present two psychophysical hyperacuity tests that are designed to detect and quantify retinal distortions even in the presence of substantial opacities. One test makes use of a two-dot vernier display in which directional bias as well as vernier acuity can be estimated. The second test is a multi-dot hyperacuity bisection task, which resembles a simplified Amsler grid test. By varying the spatial parameters of these stimuli, metamorphopsia may be quantified. The method is applicable both in clear and occluded ocular media.
