Japanese term or phrase: 両眼開放
I think it means "both eyes open" but the 開放 part and the way the word is used in the sentence make me wonder if there is an equivalent English medical term.

One website that led me to the translation "both eyes open": http://www.sugiura.to/ryouganshi/ryouganshi.html

Context:
本法は決まった手順で、健眼に+5.0D以上付加した等価球面値のレンズと1.5~2.0mmのPinholeを、患眼には3.0mmのPinhole(と矯正レンズ)を挿入して両眼開放の状態をつくり、健眼のみ検査していると錯覚させて患眼の視力を測定する方法である。
