BVP - Introduction to Clinical Management of Binocular Vision Disorders - Week 5 Flashcards

1
Q

What is the tradeoff of having a greater vs a smaller binocular field?

A

The greater the binocular field, the better the stereopsis, but the smaller the peripheral field
The smaller the binocular field, the poorer the stereopsis, but the greater the peripheral field

Q

When blur stimulates accommodation, what happens as a result and how is this process crosslinked to vergence? what does it eventually result in (2)?

A

Fast accommodation integration occurs, which is crosslinked with vergence, resulting in a vergence error.
This leads to slow vergence integration and eventually a vergence response.

Q

When disparity stimulates vergence, what happens as a result and how is this process crosslinked to accommodation? what does it eventually result in (2)?

A

Fast vergence integration occurs, which is crosslinked with accommodation, resulting in a focus error.
This leads to slow accommodation integration and eventually an accommodation response.
