	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Binocular vision
		Binocular vision is vision in which both eyes are used synchronously to produce a single image.
		Binocular vision confers at least two further advantages over monocular vision: binocular summation in which the ability to detect faint objects is enhanced, and stereopsis in which parallax provided by the two eye's different positions on the head give precise depth perception.
		Binocular vision (also called stereoscopic vision) is a type of visual system common in many kinds of animals where both the eyes produce only a single image in the brain.

		Binocular vision is vision in which both eyes are used together.
		Such binocular vision is usually accompanied by singleness of vision or binocular fusion, in which a single image is seen despite each eye's having its own image of any object.
		Binocular summation means that the detection threshold for a stimulus is lower with two eyes than with one.

		Binocular vision contributes to depth perception at close distances, within 18-20 feet; beyond that, the brain relies on less precise cues, such as shadows and parallax to generate depth information.
		Binocular vision is a feature common amongst many hunting animals, but also amongst primates which rely upon it when navigating complex three-dimensional environments.

		One of the most accurate of those cues is binocular disparity, which takes advantage of the fact that most people have two eyes.
		Binocular vision results when the brain combines these disparate images to determine true stereoscopic depth.
		With stereo vision, we can see WHERE objects are in relation to us with much greater precision - especially when those objects are moving toward or away from us.

		Binocular vision is possible because some nerve cells (neurons) from the retina grow into the same side of the brain during embryonic development while others cross over into the opposite side of the brain.
		Binocular vision is essential to all predatory animals, including humans, because it provides us with depth perception.
		Thus, using this 'genetic reostat' nature appears to be able to 'dial up or down' the degree of binocular vision required in the developing animal simply by controlling the amount of Islet-2 produced by the retina.

		This is an important question to resolve since binocular cells in the visual cortex are thought to be the neural substrate for stereoscopic depth perception.
		In the normal adult, we have shown in previous work that most binocular interaction in the visual cortex can be accounted for on the basis of linear summation.
		An alternative possibility is that there is an elaborate genetic organization of binocular vision, but our study does not address this issue directly.

		However, the horse's binocular vision is not as good as its monocular vision.
		Some horses have better binocular vision than others because their eyes are set closer together.

	Journal of Vision - Does binocular vision contribute to gloss perception?, by Obein, Pichereau, Harrar, Monot, ...
		The contribution of binocular vision to gloss perception has been suggested in the literature [1][2].
		We speculate that the influence of binocular vision in gloss perception depends upon the strategy used by the observer to carry out his judgment.
		We have also noticed that the benefit from binocular vision increases as the interpupillary distance of observers decreases.

		To see how much of a difference the binocular vision system makes, have a friend throw you a ball and try to catch it while keeping one eye closed.
		The binocular vision system relies on the fact that our two eyes are spaced about 2 inches (5 centimeters) apart.
		Therefore, each eye sees the world from a slightly different perspective, and the binocular vision system in your brain uses the difference to calculate distance.

	Oxford Strabismus Surgery Policy
		The strabismus surgery policy is designed to ensure that members with eye muscle imbalance whose vision is adversely affected will have their strabismus surgery certified, if there is a reasonable chance that they will experience a functionally significant improvement in binocular vision.
		Members age 17 and older, who have had strabismus for many years, without having achieved binocular vision, are unlikely to achieve binocular vision with strabismus surgery.
		A marginal increase in “peripheral vision” that may or may not occur in a member with long-standing strabismus and long-standing loss of binocular vision is not a sufficient reason to certify strabismus surgery.
