Binocular vision

In visual science, binocular vision focuses on visual perception with two eyes instead of one. Two main areas are directional vision and depth perception (stereopsis). Both eyes can positively or negatively influence each other's vision through binocular interaction.

In medical science, binocular vision refers to binocular vision disorders and tests and exercises to improve binocular vision. In biology, binocular vision refers to the placement of the eyes and its effects on the capabilities of depth perception and directional vision in animals. In society, binocular vision refers to applications for seeing stereoscopic images and aids for binocular vision.
