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