  2. Strabismus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strabismus

    Strabismus is a vision disorder in which the eyes do not properly align with each other when looking at an object. [2] The eye that is pointed at an object can alternate. [3] The condition may be present occasionally or constantly. [3] If present during a large part of childhood, it may result in amblyopia, or lazy eyes, and loss of depth ...

  3. Exotropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exotropia

    The brain's ability to see three-dimensional objects depends on proper alignment of the eyes. When both eyes are properly aligned and aimed at the same target, the visual portion of the brain fuses the two forms from the two eyes into a single image. When one eye turns inward, outward, upward, or downward, two different pictures are sent to the ...

  4. Amblyopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amblyopia

    Amblyopia, also called lazy eye, is a disorder of sight in which the brain fails to fully process input from one eye and over time favors the other eye. [1] It results in decreased vision in an eye that typically appears normal in other aspects. [1] Amblyopia is the most common cause of decreased vision in a single eye among children and ...

  5. Stereopsis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereopsis

    Stereopsis. Stereopsis (from Ancient Greek στερεός (stereós) 'solid' and ὄψις (ópsis) 'appearance, sight') is the component of depth perception retrieved through binocular vision. [1] Stereopsis is not the only contributor to depth perception, but it is a major one. Binocular vision happens because each eye receives a different ...

  6. Pseudostrabismus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudostrabismus

    Pseudostrabismus is the false impression that the eyes are misaligned, which may lead to the incorrect diagnosis of strabismus. Pseudostrabismus is more likely to be observed in East Asian or Native American infants, due to the presence of epicanthic folds obscuring the medial aspect of each eye. Pseudostrabismus generally occurs in infants and ...

  7. Binocular disparity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_disparity

    Binocular disparity is the angle between two lines of projection . One of which is the real projection from the object to the actual point of projection. The other one is the imaginary projection running through the nodal point of the fixation point. In computer vision, binocular disparity is calculated from stereo images taken from a set of ...

  8. Cover test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover_test

    A cover test or cover-uncover test is an objective determination of the presence and amount of ocular deviation. It is typically performed by orthoptists, ophthalmologists and optometrists during eye examinations. The two primary types of cover tests are: the alternating cover test. the unilateral cover test (or the cover-uncover test).

  9. Autostereogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostereogram

    The top and bottom images produce a dent or projection depending on whether viewed with cross- () or wall- () eyed vergence. An autostereogram is a two-dimensional (2D) image that can create the optical illusion of a three-dimensional (3D) scene. Autostereograms use only one image to accomplish the effect while normal stereograms require two.
