Questions and Answers

What are the three broad headings under which proper functioning of binocular vision can be considered?

The alignment of the eyes, the distance between them, and the size of the pupils

The emotional state of the patient, the presence of distractions, and the color of the environment

The anatomy of the visual apparatus, the motor system, and the sensory system (correct)

The size of the eyes, the age of the patient, and the lighting conditions

Which area of the visual system is affected by developmental abnormalities?

Fusional reserves affecting eye movement coordination

Anatomy of the visual system (correct)

Motor fusion that helps achieve sensory lock

Sensory fusion facilitating binocular sensation

What is the correct sequence of interaction required to achieve binocular single vision?

Sensory fusion → One percept → Motor fusion → Fusion lock → Fusional reserves

Fusional reserves → Motor fusion → Sensory fusion → Fusion lock → One percept (correct)

Fusional reserves → Sensory fusion → Motor fusion → Fusion lock → One percept

Motor fusion → Sensory fusion → Fusion lock → Fusional reserves → One percept

Study Notes

Binocular Vision

Binocular vision is the brain’s ability to combine images from both eyes into a single, unified image.
Proper binocular vision requires synchronized movement of the eyes, accurate alignment of the eyes, and the ability of the brain to combine the separate images received from each eye.
Binocular vision issues can occur due to problems with the anatomy of the visual system, the motor system that controls eye movements, or the sensory system which integrates information from the eyes.
Anatomical abnormalities can be present from birth or develop later in life.

Motor System

Fusional reserves refer to the ability of the eyes to move and converge to maintain single vision.
Motor fusion refers to the act of fusing the two images together with the movement of the eyes, allowing for a single percept.

Sensory Fusion

Sensory fusion refers to the brain's ability to blend the separate images from each eye to create a unified image.
Fusion Lock occurs when the brain has successfully combined the images from both eyes into a single percept.
