TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Stereo vision and strabismus JO - Eye A1 - Read, J. C. A. SP - 214 EP - 224 VL - 29 IS - 2 N2 - Binocular stereopsis, or stereo vision, is the ability to derive information about how far away objects are, based solely on the relative positions of the object in the two eyes. It depends on both sensory and motor abilities. In this review, I briefly outline some of the neuronal mechanisms supporting stereo vision, and discuss how these are disrupted in strabismus. I explain, in some detail, current methods of assessing stereo vision and their pros and cons. Finally, I review the evidence supporting the clinical importance of such measurements.Eye advance online publication, 5 December 2014; doi:10.1038/eye.2014.279.
