The type and size of the squint, visual acuity, refractive er...

PURPOSE To examine accommodation and accommodative convergence relationships in naturally strabismic monkeys. METHODS Photorefraction was used to measure accommodative responses of each eye under monocular and binocular viewing conditions. These accommodative results were then compared to assessments of vergence state made under monocular viewing conditions using methods previously described....
