  • Title: Vergence adaptation: a review.
    Author: Sethi B.
    Journal: Doc Ophthalmol; 1986 Sep 30; 63(3):247-63. PubMed ID: 3536367.
    Abstract:
    The present review aims to discuss the current researches on the ability of the vergence system to adjust to new information. A concomitant or non-concomitant binocular retinal disparity caused by a prism or an anisometropic prescription can be adapted to such that the induced phoria of fixation disparity reduces back to the original value. The features and mechanisms of this normal adaptation and also the response in subjects with abnormal binocular vision are discussed. The less extensive work on the adaptive ability of the accommodative vergence system is also reviewed.
