Term
Functional Requisites for Binocular Vision
Definition
1. Frontally located eyes
2. Accurate foveal fixation with each eye
3. Approximately equal visual acuity in each eye
4. Similar retinal images for each eye
5. Normal oculomotor system (motor fusion)
6. Normal retinal correspondence and fusion (sensory fusion)
Term
Stereoscopic
Definition
straight-eyed or relaxed viewing, under-convergence to image the right half-view on the right eye's retina and left view on the left retina
Term
Pseudoscopic
Definition
cross-eyed viewing over convergence to image the right half-view on the left eye's retina and left view on the right retina
Term
Absolute Disparity
Definition
Difference in the vergence angles between two objects
Term
Relative Disparity
Definition
direction and magnitude of disparity are relative to a fixation distance
Term
Crossed disparity
Definition
lines of sight intersect in front of the reference, base out disparity
Term
Uncrossed disparity
Definition
lines of sight intersect behind the reference, base in disparity
Term
Normal stereopsis requires ______ and ______ mechanisms
Definition
normal motor, sensory fusion
Term
Fixation disparities are classified as what?
Definition
Eso (over-convergence) (uncrossed) and exo (under-convergence) (crossed)
Term
Positive fusional convergence
Definition
increased convergence initated by crossed disparity (base out prism or exophoria)
Term
Negative fusional convergence
Definition
divergence movement initiated by uncrossed disparity (base in prism or esophoria)
