  2. Binocular vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_vision

    Binocular vision anomalies include: diplopia (double vision), visual confusion (the perception of two different images superimposed onto the same space), suppression (where the brain ignores all or part of one eye's visual field), horror fusionis (an active avoidance of fusion by eye misalignment), and anomalous retinal correspondence (where ...

  3. Stereopsis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereopsis

    Binocular vision has further advantages aside from stereopsis, in particular the enhancement of vision quality through binocular summation; persons with strabismus (even those who have no double vision) have lower scores of binocular summation, and this appears to incite persons with strabismus to close one eye in visually demanding situations.

  4. Human eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_eye

    The human eye is a sensory organ in the visual system that reacts to visible light ... It is an area of 4.17 steradians or 13700 square degrees for binocular vision. ...

  5. Field of view - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view

    For example, binocular vision, which is the basis for stereopsis and is important for depth perception, covers 114 degrees (horizontally) of the visual field in humans; [7] the remaining peripheral ~50 degrees on each side [6] have no binocular vision (because only one eye can see those parts of the visual field). Some birds have a scant 10 to ...

  6. Visual acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity

    A reference value above which visual acuity is considered normal is called 6/6 vision, the USC equivalent of which is 20/20 vision: At 6 metres or 20 feet, a human eye with that performance is able to separate contours that are approximately 1.75 mm apart. [9] Vision of 6/12 corresponds to lower performance, while vision of 6/3 to better ...

  7. Visual field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_field

    The binocular visual field is the superimposition of the two monocular fields. In the binocular field, the area left of the vertical meridian is referred to as the left visual field (which is located temporally for the left, and nasally for the right eye); a corresponding definition holds for the right visual field.

  8. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    The visual system is the physiological basis of visual perception (the ability to detect and process light).The system detects, transduces and interprets information concerning light within the visible range to construct an image and build a mental model of the surrounding environment.

  9. Binocular disparity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_disparity

    Figure 1. Definition of binocular disparity (far and near). Human eyes are horizontally separated by about 50–75 mm (interpupillary distance) depending on each individual. Thus, each eye has a slightly different view of the world around. This can be easily seen when alternately closing one eye while looking at a vertical edge.
