Course objectives
Binocular vision is ability to see with both eyes easily. It is not congenital; it develops from first year and consolidates until six year. You can divide it artificial on three levels. Binocular vision is important for carrier choice and also for social life. Disorders of binocular vision are strabismus( cross – eye) and amblyopia(blunt – sight). Strabismus can be treated by glasses and pleoptic, surgery and ortoptic(re – creation of binocular vision). Paralytic strabismus occurs as result of oculomotorical nerve or muscles paralysis, or CNS disorder. Paralysis also expresses itself as deviation of eye and binocular vision disorder.
