Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Binocular vision is at the heart of how we perceive and interact with the world. It allows us to integrate two separate images into a unified perception, supporting depth judgment, fine motor coordination, and everyday tasks that shape our quality of life. When disrupted, binocular vision anomalies not only affect visual performance but can also influence learning, behavior, and overall well-being. Today, rapid advances in science and technology are transforming how these conditions are understood, diagnosed, and managed.
This Special Issue invites researchers, clinicians, and innovators to contribute their latest findings and perspectives on binocular vision assessment and management. We are particularly interested in studies that explore the continuum from anomalies to normative oculomotor behaviors, highlighting both challenges and opportunities for clinical practice. Submissions may include original research, clinical trials, and comprehensive reviews.
Topics of interest include new diagnostic strategies for detecting binocular dysfunctions; advances in understanding vergence, accommodation, and eye movement control; the role of binocular anomalies in daily function; and the outcomes of emerging therapeutic and rehabilitation programs. We also encourage contributions that showcase the integration of innovative tools such as eye-tracking, virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and neuroimaging into the study of binocular vision.
By bringing together diverse voices from across disciplines, this Special Issue aims to inspire fresh insights and foster collaboration. Ultimately, our goal is to advance knowledge that not only deepens scientific understanding but also leads to better diagnostic accuracy, more effective treatments, and meaningful improvements in patients’ lives.
