The Change After Visual Training of Forced Vergence Fixation Disparity Curve

Vergence Dynamics Predict Fixation Disparity

The neural origin of the steady-state vergence eye movement error, called binocular fixation disparity, is not well understood. Further, there has been no study that quantitatively relates the dynamics of the vergence system to its steady-state behavior, a critical test for the understanding of any oculomotor system. We investigate whether fixation disparity can be related to the dynamics of op...

Vergence Control in Fixation with Minimal Disparity Information

Disparity vergence responses before versus after repetitive vergence therapy in binocularly normal controls

This study sought to determine whether significant changes would be observed between vergence eye movements before and after 12 hr of repetitive vergence therapy (1 hr per day on different days) in subjects with normal binocular vision compared to controls. Disparity vergence responses from 23 subjects were studied. An assessment protocol that minimized the influence of the near dissociated pho...

The contribution of vergence change to the measurement of relative disparity.

The relative disparity between two objects in a scene can in principle be measured directly from the retinal images, without knowledge of eye position. But relative disparity increment thresholds are lowest when the relative disparity is small and the objects are not widely separated in the visual field: thus, some relative disparities are easier for the visual system to measure than others. We...

Dynamic assessment of disparity vergence ramps

Previous work has shown that the disparity vergence eye movement system responds to inward (i.e., convergent) ramp stimuli with both smooth and step-like behavior depending on target velocity. The responses to diverging ramp stimuli have not been previously studied, but convergence and divergence responses to other stimuli often show different behaviors. Converging and diverging 6 degrees/s ram...
