Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-strabismic binocular vision dysfunctions are ocular conditions where both eyes are unable to work properly in a coordinated and efficient way. These dysfunctions occur due to unknown causes, traumatic brain injuries, medications or environmental factors, among others, and they manifest as headaches, blurred vision at different distances, problems with reading, diplopia, asthenopia, etc. All this generates difficulties in carrying out daily activities and diminishes the quality of life of the people who suffer from them. Today, technological advances in development are helping to objectify the measurements of different optometric parameters evaluated in visual examination, but more research is still needed to standardize some parameters and unify the diagnostic criteria of these conditions to carry out the most appropriate therapeutic approach in each case, paying special attention to training and visual rehabilitation.
This Special Issue invites the submission of articles or reviews focused on the characterization of normal binocular clinical parameters or studies where these parameters are altered by oculomotor (fixations, saccadic and tracking), vergence and/or accommodative dysfunctions, analyzing the results and establishing different types of therapeutic approaches.
