Term
Binocular Summation
Definition
VA and contrast threshold is better with 2 eyes
Term
Aiming of the 2 eyes can produce:

Use of two eyes gives -->
Definition
amblyopia
suppresion
diplopia

Larger field of view
Term
panoramin vision
Definition
no overlap b/w the 2 eyes and can see almost 360 around them
Term
Human have VF that overlaps :
Definition
120 degrees
Term
Binocular VF




Temporal cresents
Definition
overlapping part of the VF is seen by both eyes at the same time

lies b/w the temporal cresents

VF seen by one eye alone
Term
interocular distance




septum
Definition
60-65 mm; why we see 2 different scenes mono,
the image on the retina's of both eyes are NOT indentical

nose divides and cuts the extreme nasal part of each eye's VF
Term
Real advantage of bino vision :

STEREOPSIS
Definition
bino form of depth perception
allows more precise hand-eye coordination
grasping near objects is more accurate under bino
lower detection thresholds
increased VA
Term
Can judge some things with mono cues to get depth perception ( depth is still better bino)
Definition
- perspective
- occlusion
- elevation
- texture gradient
- motion parallax
Term
people with bino vision abnormalities
Definition
- judge distances differently
- see objects in the wrong location
- see the world as distorted
Term
diplopia
Definition
misalignment of the eyes
Term
sensory fusion
Definition
integrate the images of objects viewed by the 2 eyes as a single image
Term
Limits of depth perception :

1. steroacuity
2. panum 's ranges
Definition
small depth without loss of fusion

largest depth without loss of fusion
Term
Improper conditions to see singly:

1. diplopia
2. binocular rivalry
3. Binocular suppression
Definition
each eye's image does not combine fully but instead fights to win out over the other eyes image

- one eye shuts off
Term
The location of an object in space is determined by:

VISUAL DIRECTION
DISTANCE
Definition
- 2D localization of objects, taking account only the lateral and vertical position of the object regardless of distance

- is a measure how far away the objects is, depends on visual direction, interrelated with object size
Term
Directionality
Definition
what direction the light of an image is coming from

used to build an interpretation of the 3D world ( visual space)
Term
LOCAL SIGN

made possible by :
Definition
capacity of visual neurons to process direction

Retinotopic mapping of neurons in the visual system and labeled lines

- an image formed on a specific retinal location will stimulate a retianl location, LGD, or striate cortex
Term
KEY POINT:

Visual space is not exactly the same as real space.

OPTICAL ILLUSIONS
Definition
- are the result of mismatches b/w visual space and physical space
Term
Visual Line/line of sight
Definition
representation of visual direction

- projects from a given point on the retina passing thru the nodal pt. of the eye into physical space

- ALL points in space falling on this line at any distance appear in the same direction in the VF
Term
VISUAL AXIS
Definition
visual line that passes from the fovea to object of regard
Term
Visual Direction
Definition
is a relative judgement
Term
Principle visual direction
Definition
- reference in which we compare all
direction

zero direction
direction signaled by the fovea/where the eye is fixating
Term
Secondary Visual Direction
Definition
area's around the fixation pt

signaled by retinal pts eccentric to fovea

rt, lt. above below fixation pts
Term
Oculocentric
Definition
"eye centered" visual direction so that as the eye shifts position so does the oculocentric direction

- is determined by the line of sight of an object thru the nodal pt. of the eye to the retina
Term
Law of occulocentric visual direction
Definition
superimposed retinal images will be seen in the same occulocentric visual direction
Term
central serous maculopathy
Definition
fluid beneath the retina dislodges the PRs

results in metamorphospsia (spatial distortion of vision)
Term
Eccentric fixation
Definition
point other than the fovea is used for fixation

- common consequence of strab's and contributes to vision loss of amyblopia
- a pt. who fixates at an extrafoveal retinal locus does not necessarily have eccentric fixation
- neurological remapping of monocular principal visual direction to a new locus
Term
Eccentric viewing
Definition
- in low vision pt. may chose an extrafoveal fixation pt
- pt. selects a retinal locus w/ better resoln. than the diseased fovea
- pt. still uses destroyed fovea as zero direction /principal visual direction is unchanged
Term
Eccentric fixation
Definition
1, develops in childhood in concert with strab and amblyopia

2. pt not aware of the problem
3. use visuoscopy to see if the foveal relex does not appear in the center of the target
Term
Eccentric viewing
Definition
requires conscious effort on the part of the pt

it occurs after loss of vision from injury or DZ

it is a normal adaptation to the visual loss rather than an abnormality
Term
Past Pointing
Definition
visual direction is dependant on feedback from other sensory organs and may be altered under certain cirumstances
Term
past pointing:

paretic muscle
Definition
when fixation is attempted in the field of action of the paretic muscle, the pt. will reach past an object perceiving it to be beyond its actual location
Term
Headcentric directionality
Definition
knowledge of the position of the eyes in the head
Term
Law of headcentric localization
Definition
for a given postion of the eye in the head, objects lying on the same line of sight are seen in the same headcentric visual direction
Term
Law of identical visual direction
Definition
objects with same visual direction in each eye will be seen as lying in a single visual direction under bino viewing conditions

-fovea 's of the 2 eyes signal the same primary visual direction
Term
EGOCENTER
Definition
under bino conditions we see directions not relative to each eye alone but relative to this single reference point w/in our head
Term
EGOCENTRIC LOCALIZATION
Definition
we see objects whose images are formed on both fovea's as if their images instead fell on a single pt. midway btw the 2 eyes;
Term
cyclopean eye
Definition
imaginary single eyeball in the middle of the head
Term
eye dominance
Definition
reflects the relative weighting of each eyes input into the bino precept
Term
Corresponding retinal points
Definition
pairs of points, one in each eye that when stimulated simultaneouly or in rapid succession are perceived to lie in a single common visual direction
Term
common subjective principal visual direction
Definition
zero reference for bino direction
originates from a pt. midway b/w the two eyes
Term
egocentric
Definition
binocular directionality
Term
Vieth-Muller Circle
Definition
plot of points in visual space and their corresponding retinal pts,
Term
Binocular Disparity
Definition
corresponding pt. are "zero" pts. for stereopsis
Term
Depth perception
Definition
arises from the stimulation of noncorresponding retinal pts.
Term
Disparate
Definition
images of a single object that do not stimulate corresponding retinal pts in the 2 eyes

if viewed mono images are perceived as lying in different visual directions
Term
Binocular disparity

too large of a bino. disparity
Definition
difference in position in relation to corresponding pt. bw images in the 2 eye

DIPLOPIA
Term
Vertical disparity
Definition
vertical differences in positions of similar images
Term
Horizontal disparity
Definition
horizontal differences in retinal image position
* more impt*

- allows the perception of stereoscopic depth

- can be crossed or uncrossed depending of fixation pt
Term
CROSSED DISPARITY
Definition
pt. seen as nearer than the fixation pt, fall w/in Vieth-Muller circle, and have a line of sight that cross in front of the fixation pt.

positive AL is larger than AR
temporalward shift of images in one or both eyes
Term
UNCROSSED DISPARITY
Definition
-points further away than the fixation pt. have lines of sight that meet behind the fixation pt.

- angle n is negative
- AR is larger than AL
- nasalward shift
Term
stereopsis
Definition
small differences in perceived horizontal direction btw the 2 eyes give rise t a 3d percept
Term
Diplopia and Confusion
Definition
images on widely separated noncorresponding pts or pt beyond Panum's area will not be seen as fused or single
Term
Crossed diplopia
Definition
distant object is fixed bifoveally
a nearer object in front of it will be imaged on the temporalward retina of each eye on noncoressponding pt.
-- if these pt are far enough we see double
Term
uncrossed diplopia
Definition
near object is fixated, a distant object is seen as double

each image is formed on the nasal retina
Term
Binocular confusion
Definition
two different objects seen in one direction or location
Term
Vieth Muller circle
Definition
- should be seen as single pts. lying n a single direction

- pt. lying off the circle, should be seen as arising in two distinct directions--> Diplopically

- nearer pt.-- crossed
- farer pt -- uncrossed
Term
Anamalous retinal correspondence
Definition
strab mya remap the corresponding pt. on the retina without suppression that eye
Term
diplopia and confusion may be eliminated in a strab visual system by :
Definition
1. suppressing
2. shifting the zero reference pt. for directionalty in the strab. eye
