Abstract
Maddox suggested the existence of different types of convergent movements: 1) tonic convergence, 2) accommodative convergence, 3) fusional convergence. Furtherly, 4) voluntary convergence and 5) “proximal convergence” were recognized. Voluntary convergence is the only disjunctive movement influenced by will power.
