Abstract

This chapter discusses binocular vision, its disorders, as well as sensorial adaptations. A single object produces two separate retinal images, one in each eye, and binocular vision allows fusion of these two images together into a single image. Binocular vision allows for separate and dissimilar images arising in each eye to fuse together into a single image. Disorders of binocular vision result in sensorial adaptations that differ between visually mature and immature systems. In the visually immature system, adaptations of suppression and anomalous retinal correspondence prevent diplopia. Adults with mature visual systems are unable to develop these sensorial adaptations causing diplopia or visual confusion. A number of tests can be utilized to determine retinal correspondence, diplopia, suppression, and stereovision.
