Efficient coordination between the eyes is crucial for depth perception, reading, and spatial orientation. This book examines the fundamentals of binocular vision and the mechanics of eye movements, including vergence, accommodation, and versional control. It covers assessment methods such as cover tests, stereopsis evaluation, and fusional reserve measurements. Disorders like strabismus, convergence insufficiency, and amblyopia are discussed with emphasis on diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning. Vision therapy and prism correction strategies are also detailed. The book equips optometry students and clinicians with a deep understanding of visual coordination and its clinical significance.
Riley Patterson is a vision science educator and clinician specializing in binocular vision, vergence disorders, and eye movement analysis. With a practice based in North America, Riley has worked with both children and adults experiencing diplopia, convergence insufficiency, and tracking difficulties. He incorporates advanced techniques such as prism therapy and oculomotor training into personalized care plans. Riley’s academic work focuses on understanding neural control of eye movements and enhancing visual coordination for reading and spatial orientation.
