Prevalence of Non Strabismic Binocular Vision Disorders in Patients with Asthenopia
Journal of Multidisciplinary Research in Healthcare, 2014Co-Authors: Diwakar RaoAbstract:Non-strabismic Binocular Vision disorders are highly prevalent conditions. Patients report to eye care practitioners with symptoms of eyestrain, headaches, blurred Vision etc. These conditions are generally missed out unless a complete orthoptic and Binocular Vision examination is performed. Treatment of these conditions is very successful with Vision therapy, lenses and prisms. Successful treatment leads to a significant improvement in the quality of life of the patients. This study was aimed towards finding the prevalence of non-strabismic Binocular Vision disorders in patients complaining of asthenopia.

Binocular Vision in amblyopia: Structure, suppression and plasticity
Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, 2014Co-Authors: Robert F. Hess, Benjamin Thompson, Daniel H BakerAbstract:The amblyopic visual system was once considered to be structurally monocular. However, it now evident that the capacity for Binocular Vision is present in many observers with amblyopia. This has led to new techniques for quantifying suppression that have provided insights into the relationship between suppression and the monocular and Binocular visual deficits experienced by amblyopes. Furthermore, new treatments are emerging that directly target suppressive interactions within the visual cortex and, on the basis of initial data, appear to improve both Binocular and monocular visual function, even in adults with amblyopia. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of recent studies that have investigated the structure, measurement and treatment of Binocular Vision in observers with strabismic, anisometropic and mixed amblyopia.

Development of Binocular Vision and Implications for Clinical Testing
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2011Co-Authors: P McgrawAbstract:Purpose It is now clear that newborn infants are not a tabula rasa as once thought. Instead, they are born with the cortical circuitry required to process rudimentary visual information already in place. Early in life, these circuits are shaped by experience-dependent plasticity and a range of new visual abilities are brought on-line. Any disruption to normal sensory input can, and often does, result in marked functional impairment of Binocular Vision. A comprehensive understanding of the neurodynamics of Binocular visual development is critical to determining how and why certain functions deviate from the developmental plan and the most appropriate ages at which these problems can be detected. Methods The essential components of Binocular Vision are simultaneous perception of monocular images, fusion, oculomotor control and stereopsis. Each of these aspects has a distinct developmental trajectory and sensory and motor function must develop in concert to provide the neural basis for normal Binocular experience. Results Early in life, infants superimpose dichoptic images rather than alternating perception between eyes. Stereopsis has a sudden onset around 3-5 months of age and fusion develops at around the same time. Following the onset of stereopsis, disparity thresholds improve rapidly over a period of several weeks while at the same time inter-ocular differences in acuity decline. Conclusion This talk will summarise research relating to Binocular Vision in early life, with an emphasis on the methods used to assess visual function and the factors that constrain the development of normal Binocular Vision. The implications for clinical testing in children will also be discussed.

The impact of Binocular Vision disorders on 3D display viewing
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2011Co-Authors: Nc StrangAbstract:Purpose Recent advances in display technology have led to 3D display viewing becoming a commonplace activity. This exciting development has a number of implications for the Vision science community. From a scientific point of view 3D displays allow us the opportunity to develop new types of tests to examine Binocular function, while clinically a number of issues arise relating to visual symptoms and treatment. Methods Here we review the range of methods employed to create a 3D viewing environment and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these technologies from a Binocular Vision perspective. Results We will summarise the recent research findings relating to the influence of 3D viewing on visual measures such as the AC/A and CA/C ratio and discuss how these changes may induce visual symptoms in certain patient groups. The impact of 3D viewing upon the visual system during the earlier stages of visual development will also be considered. Conclusion Findings suggest that in the mature visual system 3D display technology may induce visual symptoms in patients with normally insignificant Binocular anomalies. In the immature Binocular Vision system, consideration should be given to the possibility of developmental problems arising from prolonged 3D display viewing. However, continued advances in 3D display technology also offer great potential for the assessment and restoration of Binocular Vision in patients with Binocular Vision anomalies such as amblyopia and strabismus.
