By evaluating eye movements, optometrists can identify conditions such as strabismus (eye misalignment) or convergence insufficiency (difficulty converging the eyes), allowing for early intervention and appropriate treatment to improve binocular vision. (sunridgeeyeclinic.ca)
The misalignment (a few minutes of arc) is much smaller than that of strabismus. (wikipedia.org)
While strabismus prevents binocular vision, fixation disparity keeps binocular vision, however it may reduce a patient's level of stereopsis. (wikipedia.org)
The initial stage of diplopia workup is to identify whether it is monocular diplopia or binocular diplopia. (eyewiki.org)
Thus, the key and differentiating question between monocular and binocular diplopia is: "Does the double vision resolve with closing EITHER eye? (eyewiki.org)
because if the patient happens to close the affected (monocular diplopia) eye then the response might lead the examiner to conclude that the diplopi is binocular when in fact it is monocular. (eyewiki.org)
Binocular diplopia resolves with either eye being closed and indicates ocular misalignment as an underlying problem. (eyewiki.org)
Binocular horizontal diplopia (images displaced horizontally) is usually due to disease of the medial or lateral rectus muscle, the neuromuscular junction, or the nerves supplying these muscles (e.g., cranial nerves III or VI). (eyewiki.org)
Seeing two objects instead of one with a binocular view (diplopia) can occur when individuals with MS experience ocular misalignment caused by lesions of the brainstem and cerebellum. (medscape.com)
Ocular2
In Fig. 1, the blue lines and characters illustrate the situation of optimal binocular vision: the extra-ocular muscles adjust the vergence angle between the two visual axes so that the fixation target X is projected in each eye onto the centre of the fovea, i.e. the location on the retina with the highest spatial resolution. (wikipedia.org)
It can be due to refractive error, binocular fusion abnormalities, or neuromuscular anomalies of ocular movements. (nih.gov)
Saccades are rapid eye movements that we use to change fixation between objects, and are used to jump from one word to the next when we are reading. (beyondvision.ca)

Monocular1
Visual fields, measured by binocular Esterman and monocular Humphrey full-field analyses, improved in case 1. (frontiersin.org)
Anomalies1
Binocular vision dysfunction is frequently missed during a standard eye exam, since those suffering with these anomalies continue to have 20/20 vision. (beyondvision.ca)
Horizontal1
The misalignment may be vertical, horizontal or both. (wikipedia.org)
Refers2
Eye movement assessment can reveal issues with binocular vision, which refers to how the eyes work together as a team. (sunridgeeyeclinic.ca)
While the heterophoria refers to a fusion-free vergence state, the fixation disparity refers to a small misalignment of the visual axes when both eyes are open in an observer with normal fusion and binocular vision. (wikipedia.org)
Occur2
Binocular vision dysfunction can occur if one of the complex functions of the visual system is not working adequately. (beyondvision.ca)
Put more simply, a binocular vision dysfunction can occur when the eyes and brain do not work together in harmony. (beyondvision.ca)
Vision8
The inward movement of the eyes as they come together to maintain single binocular vision for objects at close distances. (sunridgeeyeclinic.ca)
Most observers have a so-called "normal" binocular vision in the sense that they are able to view stereoscopically, but still many of these observers can have a sub-optimal condition in terms of a fixation disparity (FD). (wikipedia.org)
If this disparity is small enough, sensory and neural mechanisms in binocular neurons still attribute the same visual direction to these slightly disparate images and single vision is provided. (wikipedia.org)
The Maddox wing, however, does not test binocular vision since no fusion target is present. (wikipedia.org)
Research has shown that at least 10% of the population suffers from binocular vision dysfunction, but this condition is still not well known. (beyondvision.ca)
A thorough binocular vision assessment can detect small amounts of binocular vision dysfunction that tests during standard eye exams may not be sensitive enough to detect. (beyondvision.ca)
Eyes1
Orthotropia is defined as the correct direction of the eyes under binocular conditions. (nih.gov)
Fusion1
These findings suggest that crowding from clutter outside the limits of binocular fusion can still have a significant impact on object recognition and visual perception in the peripheral field. (elifesciences.org)
Tracking1
If a child has poor eye tracking or struggles with saccades, it can lead to difficulties in following a line of text, skipping words, or losing their place while reading. (sunridgeeyeclinic.ca)
Images1
In the visual cortex, a binocular disparity between the two retinal images remains. (wikipedia.org)
Visual3
This means that the visual axes intersect at the fixation target X. On the level of the visual cortex there is a perfect spatial overlap, i.e. the binocular disparity is zero and best binocular summation is possible. (wikipedia.org)
The AVT includes digital tests for visual acuity, luminance and cone contrast sensitivity, motion coherence, stereopsis, and binocular motor function. (bvsalud.org)
Patients with hemianopia naturally develop oculomotor strategies (more saccades toward the blind field) to compensate for visual field loss ( 8 , 9 ), but visual rehabilitation procedure must still be developed to optimize/improve visual perception in the blind field and enhance the quality of life. (frontiersin.org)
Addressing binocular vision1
She says that addressing binocular vision concerns has been a huge patient-pleaser and a significant profitability builder. (reviewob.com)
Testing extra ocular muscles1
There are numerous approaches to binocular vision testing, including the basics: gross observations with testing extra ocular muscles, cover test (observing how the eye moves by covering and uncovering one and then both eyes), measuring stereo acuity, testing near-point convergence and accommodation and checking vergences and phorias. (reviewob.com)
Fixation5
While the heterophoria refers to a fusion-free vergence state, the fixation disparity refers to a small misalignment of the visual axes when both eyes are open in an observer with normal fusion and binocular vision. (wikipedia.org)
In Fig. 1, the blue lines and characters illustrate the situation of optimal binocular vision: the extra-ocular muscles adjust the vergence angle between the two visual axes so that the fixation target X is projected in each eye onto the centre of the fovea, i.e. the location on the retina with the highest spatial resolution.

Reading fluency and comprehension are dependent on the strength of visual skills- especially focusing, binocular vision, convergence, saccades, and visual fixation. (revisionoptix.com)
Amblyopia1
Individuals with Duane syndrome who lack binocular vision are at risk for amblyopia. (nih.gov)
Diagnosed-visual1
Binocular vision dysfunction (BVD) is a common-and under diagnosed-visual condition. (reviewob.com)
Dependent1
Effective binocular vision is dependent on both motor and perceptual function. (bvsalud.org)
Patients1
In practice, many patients present at my office for their annual eye examination, and they may not report any obvious symptoms of misalignment until I ask them key questions. (reviewob.com)
Normal1
The primary deviation is misalignment, with the normal eye fixating. (medscape.com)
Double vision1
When this development fails, eye misalignment and double vision may result. (bvsalud.org)
Motion2
The AVT includes digital tests for visual acuity, luminance and cone contrast sensitivity, motion coherence, stereopsis, and binocular motor function. (bvsalud.org)
Spatiotemporal integration of isolated binocular three-dimensional motion cues. (ucla.edu)
Vision therapy1
This is done through vision therapy using patching and binocular vision therapy. (optometrists.org)
Direction2
If this disparity is small enough, sensory and neural mechanisms in binocular neurons still attribute the same visual direction to these slightly disparate images and single vision is provided. (wikipedia.org)
Full abduction can be triggered by the doll's head maneuver, in which mild spinning of the child generates a vestibular movement in the opposite direction of the spin and a refixation saccade in the same direction. (optometrists.org)
Focus1
If a patient is symptomatic when I perform binocular cover test, I often ask the patient to focus on an object and then I ask whether the image is moving. (reviewob.com)
