Random-dot stereograms were found to be capable of producing fusional vergence amplitudes in the absence of monocular contours. These vergence amplitudes are not an artefact of monocular contours provided by the target borders or test instrument and are comparable in range to vergence amplitudes measured clinically with second degree fusion targets in an amblyoscope. We conclude that diplopia o...

purpose: to compare fusional vergence amplitudes in patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic near exophoria methods: this cross-sectional study included 102 patients with near exophoria and asthenopia and 86 with asymptomatic near exophoria, all of whom were aged 15-35 years and had best corrected far visual acuity better than 20/25. far and near fusional vergence amplitudes were evaluated in...

Purpose: The aims of this study were to compare fusional vergence measurements between orthophoria, esophoria and exophoria, and to determine the strength of correlations between fusional convergence and divergence and angle of deviation. Methods and materials: A cross-sectional study was performed in children with best-corrected visual acuity of 0.0 LogMAR in either eye, compensated heterophor...

The region of retinal disparity that is effective in maintaining binocular alignment of the eyes was investigated by measuring the horizontal fusional amplitudes for fixation targets consisting of a small central cross to which peripheral lines having various disparities were added. It was found that the addition of peripheral targets significantly facilitated binocular alignment, but only if t...

PURPOSE To prospectively evaluate the effectiveness of home-based computer vergence therapy for the treatment of binocular vision disorders in adults at least 3 months after an acquired brain injury. METHODS Eligibility criteria included presence of binocular dysfunction characterized by receded near point of convergence (≥6 cm break), insufficient positive fusional vergence at near (failing ...

Background: Assessment of the fusional vergence amplitudes constitutes one most important diagnostic tools to obtain information about ability maintain binocular vision. Several techniques can be used assess this function. However, those methods are not interchangeable, and measurement repeatability has been questioned. Objective: This study aimed compare range measurements using prism bars syn...

A patient with uncorrected antimetropia was found to attain motor fusion through blinking. Although this patient was also able to attain motor fusion through saccadic vergence and slow fusional vergence, he usually relied on blink vergence. In this patient, blink vergence was an efficient alternative to slow fusional vergence.

Fixation disparity or vergence noise produce instantaneous vergence errors. These errors are analogous to the imposition of a pedestal disparity, which is known to elevate stereothresholds. In this study, stereothresholds were measured as a function of induced vergence errors in subjects with normal binocular vision. Stereo half-images were viewed in the dark through a custom mirror haploscope....
