DEFINITION State of simultaneous vision which is achieved by coordinated use of both eyes so that separate and slight dissimar images arising in each eye appreciated as single image by process of fusion
NORMAL BINOCULAR VISION REQUISITES ADVANTAGES
DEVELOPMENT OF BSV BEGINS AT 4 MONTHS OF AGE PEAKS 2 YRS WELL DEVELOPED 4 YRS SLOW DECLINE BY 9 YRS
THEORIES OF BINOCULAR VISION Theory of correspondence and disparity Neurophsiological theory Older theories Alternation theory Projection theory Motor theory Isomorphism theory
MECHANISM OF BINOCULAR VISION Visual axis Retinal correspondence Egocentric localisation Horopter Pannums fusional area
VISUAL AXIS
RETINAL CORRESPONDENCE Normal retinal correspondence Abnormal retinal correspondence(ARC) Harmonius arc Un harmonius arc HARMONIUS angle of anamoly = angle of strabismus UNHARMONIUS angle of anamoly < angle of strabismus

RETINAL RIVALRY
ABNORMALITIES IN BSV Confusion Diplopia Supression central vs peripheral monocular vs alternate facultative vs obligatory
INVESTIGATIONS For retinal correspondence For supression 1.Red filter test 2.Worth FDT 3.Bagolinis striate glass test 4.After image testing
Red glass test
WFDT MONOFIXATION SYNDROME
BAGOLINIS GLASS TEST
BAGOLINIS GLASS TEST
AFTER IMAGE TESTING
Stereopsis testing Stereo acuity is a quantitative measure of stereopsis, it represents the smallest horizontal retinal image disparity that give rise to a sensation of depth. Stereopsis is measured in seconds of arc. 1degree=60minutes of arc, 1minute=60seconds of arc. Normal stereoacuity = <60seconds of arc.
Tests for stereopsis Qualitative Random dot stereograms Synaptophore Quantitative Titmus fly test TNO test Lang test
MACULAR EXTRAMACULAR BEGINS AT 2-3 MONTHS MATURE AT BIRTH IF DEPRIVED NEVER DEVELOPS WILL NOT DEPRIVE POOR VN AND NYSTAGMUS -- SEVERES FIXATION --- ONCE DEVELOPED REINFORCEMENT REQUIRE TILL 9 YRS AGE --- OTHERWISE AMBLYOPIA DEVELOPS --- CONES AND PARVOCELLULAR GANGLION CELLS RODS AND MAGNOCELLULAR ANGLION CELLS 14’ OF ARC OF STEREOPSIS 200’ ARC OF STEREOPSIS
BV MACULAR EXTRAMACULAR SIMULTANEOUS PERCEPTION NONE EXCELLENT FUSION EXCELLENT LIMITED STEREOPSIS EXCELLENT LIMITED SO THERE ARE NO ADAPTATIONS IF MACULAR BINOCULAR VISION IS IMPAIRED AND THERE WILL BE LIMITED FUSION AND STEREOPSIS IF EXTRAMACULAR BV IS IMPAIRED SUPPRESSION AND ARC TAKES PLACE
SUMMARY BSV is not inborn,but develops in the first decade of life Abnormal visual experience results in poor or no BSV Reversible only if intervened in the plastic period of development A good understanding of mechanism of BSV is fundamental in successive treatment of its anamolies
