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.

In an easy-to-follow format, this text offers an organized approach to the analysis of optometric data, diagnosis and treatment of accommodative and binocular vision disorders. The unique presentation of the material by diagnostic category allows the quick retrieval of information, according to the diagnostic condition. Each condition or diagnosis includes background information, symptoms, signs, case analysis and management options, with emphasis on principles of treatment and treatment alternatives. Case studies at the end of each chapter further emphasize the application to clinical care.

If you have been confused about the message of the first few chapers of Genesis, or feel uncomfortable with current interpretations of these chapters, the book, "Binocular Vision" Featuring Genesis 1-5 and Genesis 6:1-6, may be of interest to you. This word-for-word interpretation of the first few chapters of the Bible tends to take the confusion out of God's Creation, how He did it, and how different groups of people happened. Allow yourself / your group to study this book and see if it doesn't put an end to the Creative (Intelligent) Design / Darwinism debate. Also pay close attention to the "Time" segment. Don't judge the book by its cover; you need to actually read (study) the entire Genesis account and "Time" to get a Spiritual and historical understanding of the Creation and mankind's plight and progress. Great for individual study, group study, and discussion. Even though, for the Genesis study, the King James Version is readily available on the left side of the open book for your immediate reference, be prepared to check and re-check your own Bible regularly to affirm its actual message. The author of "Binocular Vision" studied for 11 years to find the answers to something entirely different (acknowledged in the Introduction, parts of Geneses and the Letter) from the most common and current interpretations; but, when the book was finished it became clear that the Genesis account of the Bible holds answers to archaeological and anthropological questions as well. "Binocular Vision" is for anyone who is interested in God's Word, especially those who have found contradiction and confusion in the first few chapters of the Bible. Be prepared for some surprises. Here's wishing you enlightening adventures in the world of Genesis.
