Binocular vision, i.e. where both eyes are used together, is a fundamental component of human sight. It also aids hand-eye co-ordination, and the perception of the self within the environment. Clinical anomalies pose a wide range of problems to the sufferer, but normal binocular operation must first be understood before the eye specialist can assess and treat dysfunctions. This is a major new textbook for students of optometry, orthoptics and ophthalmology, and also of psychology. Chapters span such key topics as binocular summation, fusion, the normal horopter, anatomy of the extra-ocular muscles, oculomotor control, binocular integration and depth perception. Fully illustrated throughout, the book includes self-assessment exercises at the end of each chapter, and sample experiments in binocular vision functioning.

Clinical Orthoptics has become established as a basic reference text providing fundamental information on anatomy, innervation and orthoptic investigation, plus diagnosis and management of strabismus, ocular motility and related disturbances.

In this edition, the author has maintained the goal of producing a user-friendly, clinically relevant and succinct book, while revising it to reflect a variety of developments in the field. FEATURES Essential reading for students of orthoptics and ophthalmolology Now fully revised and updated Generously illustrated with photographs and line drawings Includes diagnostic aids, case reports, and helpful glossary

Denise Drace-Brownell identified this unmet need of over 12% of the population in developed countries, with some studies showing a prevalence greater than 30%. These numbers can be expected to increase from society's expanded use of digital devices. She did breakthrough work in technology with the likes of John Bardeen, the only scientist to win two Nobel Prizes in physics. But because of this underdiagnosed vision problem, her fatigue was so great she had to leave her pioneering work behind. Decades later she obtained the diagnosis of her condition, invented technology to resolve her challenges, and wrote this patient guide which contains new and valuable information to help patients find their own resolution. This paper discusses common symptoms of binocular vision disorder, available resources, and typical therapeutic approaches. Binocular vision disorder impacts corporate productivity, life choices, and ability to make a living. Annual economic damage assessments in the US alone are conservatively estimated at $236.5 billion. Special considerations concern an individual's limitations in working with formulas, such as those in equations, chemical compositions, spreadsheets, and algorithms. The visual process of reading a formula is different from reading a word. Enhanced visual skills are needed, which are not elaborated upon in this paper. The transformation to a digital age demands a transformation in vision diagnostics, treatments, and technologies. About the Author: During her career as a science and technology innovation executive, Denise Drace-Brownell has created successful businesses and furthered breakthrough ideas for emerging growth and Fortune 500 companies. Denise is an expert in vision capabilities required for next-generation digital economies. Denise holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Illinois; a Master's in Public Health/Engineering from Columbia University Medical Center's Mailman School of Public Health; and a law degree from Rutgers, with advanced work at the University of Pennsylvania.
