Binocular single vision

(BSV)

 Binocular single vision
• It may be defined as state of simultaneous vision, which is achieved by the
coordinated use of both eyes, so that separate and slightly dissimilar images
arising in each eye are appreciated as a single image by the process of fusion
 Visual direction
• Visual direction is the projection of a given retinal element in a specific
direction in a subjective space
 Projection
• It is the subjective interpretation of the position of the object in space the
basis of stimulated retinal elements
 Corresponding points
• These are the areas on each retina that share the same subjective visual
direction
 Horopter
• It’s an imaginary plane in external space relative to both the observers eye for
a given fixation target. This plane passes through the intersection of both
visual axes and thus includes the point of fixation in BSV
 Panum fusional space
• It’s a zone in front of or behind the horopter in which objects stimulate
slightly non corresponding retinal points ( retinal disparity)
 Steropsis
• It is the perception of the depth due to slightly different prespectives that
our two eyes have of the world
