Overview

Binocular vision is the ability to use both eyes together to produce a single, unified visual perception, enabling depth perception, or stereopsis, and an expanded field of view. It depends on precise alignment of the eyes, coordinated eye-muscle control, and the brain's capacity to fuse the slightly different images from each eye into one. When binocular coordination breaks down, the result can be double vision, suppression, strabismus, or impaired depth perception, making the assessment and management of binocular function an important part of ophthalmic and optometric care. The study of binocular vision links optics, ocular motility, and the neural processing of visual information. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to binocular vision and visual assessment published in Ophthalmic Science and related OpenAccessPub journals. On-topic work includes a pilot study on eye examination in the virtual world, which explores how visual function can be evaluated using virtual and digital tools, an area relevant to testing alignment, acuity, and binocular performance. Together with the journal's broader coverage of eye structure, function, and disease, this material reflects the clinical and technological dimensions of evaluating how the two eyes work together to support normal vision.
