Fixation Disparity in Vertical Vergence Movements

  • Chapter
Strabismus Symposium Amsterdam, September 3–4, 1981

Part of the book series: Documenta Ophthalmologica Proceedings Series ((DOPS,volume 32))

  • 49 Accesses

Abstract

The vertical vergence response generally is smaller than the presented disparity. Yet fixation disparity seems not obligatory for the vertical fusional response. Fixation disparity is modeled as a phenomenon due to interaction of a fast and a slow vergence system.
