Normal binocular vision: theory, investigation and practical aspects

Binocular vision, i.e. where both eyes are used together, is a fundamental component of human sight. It also aids hand-eye co-ordination, and the perception of the self within the environment. This is a major new textbook for students of optometry, orthoptics, and ophthalmology, and also of psychology.
