  2. Binocular summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_summation

    The mechanism can be explained by some combination of probability summation, neural summation, and effects due to binocular-monocular differences in pupil size, accommodation, fixation, and rivalry. Probability summation comes from the principle that there is a greater chance of detecting a visual stimulus with two eyes than with one eye.

  4. Stereoblindness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoblindness

    Stereoblindness (also stereo blindness) is the inability to see in 3D using stereopsis, or stereo vision, resulting in an inability to perceive stereoscopic depth by combining and comparing images from the two eyes. Individuals with only one functioning eye have this condition by definition since the visual input of the second eye does not exist.

  5. Binocular vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_vision

    Neurological researcher Manfred Fahle has stated six specific advantages of having two eyes rather than just one: [1] It gives a creature a "spare eye" in case one is damaged. It gives a wider field of view. For example, humans have a maximum horizontal field of view of approximately 190 degrees with two eyes, approximately 120 degrees of which ...

  6. Ocular dominance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_dominance

    Ocular dominance, sometimes called eye preference or eyedness, [1] is the tendency to prefer visual input from one eye to the other. [2] It is somewhat analogous to the laterality of right- or left- handedness ; however, the side of the dominant eye and the dominant hand do not always match. [ 3 ]

  7. Anisometropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisometropia

    Consider a pair of spectacles to correct for myopia with a prescription of −1.00 m −1 in one eye and −4.00 m −1 in the other. Suppose that for both eyes the other parameters are identical, namely t = 1 mm = 0.001 m, n = 1.6, P = 5 m −1 , and h = 15 mm = 0.015 m.

  8. Amaurosis fugax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaurosis_fugax

    In one study, only 23.8 percent of patients with transient monocular vision loss experienced the classic "curtain" or "shade" descending over their vision. [4] Other descriptions of this experience include a monocular blindness, dimming, fogging, or blurring. [ 5 ]

  9. Retinal scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinal_scan

    It is not to be confused with other ocular-based technologies: iris recognition, commonly called an "iris scan", and eye vein verification that uses scleral veins. The human retina is a thin tissue made up of neural cells that is located in the posterior portion of the eye.
