Non-parallel Non parallel visual axes.<br />

Fixation<br />

Central Fixation<br />

Using Using the fovea <strong>to</strong> fixate<br />

Eccentric Fixation<br />

Using Using both foveas <strong>to</strong> fixate the same<br />

object at the same time.<br />

Convergence amplitudes<br />

Measure with base out<br />

prism bar at distance<br />

and near.<br />

Minimum normal<br />
