Ocular dominance, sometimes called eye preference or eyedness, [1] is the tendency to prefer visual input from one eye to the other. [2] It is somewhat analogous to the laterality of right- or left-handedness; however, the side of the dominant eye and the dominant hand do not always match. [3]
Binocular rivalry was discovered by Porta. [6] Porta put one book in front of one eye, and another in front of the other. He reported that he could read from one book at a time and that changing from one to the other required withdrawing the "visual virtue" from one eye and moving it to the other.
Other phenomena of binocular vision include utrocular discrimination (the ability to tell which of two eyes has been stimulated by light), [6] eye dominance (the habit of using one eye when aiming something, even if both eyes are open), [7] allelotropia (the averaging of the visual direction of objects viewed by each eye when both eyes are open ...
This plasticity is so strong that if the signals from both eyes are blocked the ocular dominance columns will completely desegregate. [14] Similarly, if one eye is closed ("monocular deprivation"), [3] removed [15] ("enucleation"), or silenced [16] during the sensitive period, the size of the columns corresponding to the removed eye shrink ...
And because of its ambiguity, researchers have deemed it one of the 'weirdest things humans can do with their faces'.
Laser blended vision is a laser eye treatment which is used to treat presbyopia (ageing eyes; [1] progressive loss of the ability to focus on nearby objects) or other age-related eye conditions. [1] It can be used to help people that simply need reading glasses, and also those who have started to need bifocal or varifocal spectacle correction ...
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.
Alternative terms for cyclopean eye include third central imaginary eye and binoculus. The term cyclopean stimuli refer to a form of visual stimuli that is defined by binocular disparity alone. It was named after the one-eyed Cyclops of Homer’s Odyssey. The term cyclopean in the terms of binocular disparity was coined by Bela Julesz. [4]
