Benefits from vergence rehabilitation: evidence for improvement of reading saccades and fixations
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2016 We hypothesize that binocular coordination of saccades is based on continuous neuroplasticity involving interactions of saccades and vergence. To test this hypothesis we study reading saccades in young students who were diagnosed for vergence disorders ...

Differentiation between vergence and saccadic functional activity within the human frontal eye fields and midbrain revealed through fMRI. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Eye movement research has traditionally studied solely saccade and/or vergence eye movements by isolating these systems within a laboratory setting. While the neural correlates of saccadic eye movements are established, few studies have quantified the ...

A role of eye vergence in covert attention. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Covert spatial attention produces biases in perceptual and neural responses in the absence of overt orienting movements. The neural mechanism that gives rise to these effects is poorly understood.

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015 PURPOSE: This study examined the relationship between the near dissociated phoria and disparity vergence eye movements. Convergence insufficiency (CI) patients before vergence therapy were compared to: 1) the same patients after vergence therapy and 2 ...

Bidirectional Synergistic Vergence [PDF]
Neuro-Ophthalmology, 2015 A 14-year-old boy presented with left ptosis and squint since his childhood. In primary position he had left hypotropia with ptosis (levator function 2 mm). With elevation of the right eye, the left eye depresses and adducts; with depression of the right eye, the left eye elevates and abducts. Forced duction test revealed no restrictive pattern.

Differential diagnosis of vergence and saccade disorders in dyslexia
Scientific Reports, 2020 Previous studies suggest vergence and saccade abnormalities in dyslexic adolescents. However, these studies are mainly clinically based and do not provide objective measurements of eye movements, but rather subjectively evaluate vergence using haplosopic

Error Correction in Vergence Eye Movements: Evidence Supporting Hering’s Law
Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2012 In pure symmetrical vergence eye movements, a fusion initiating component quickly brings the eyes close to the desired position. A small error usually remains after this response which must be corrected to attain the small final vergence error (i.e ...

Vergence anomalies in a sample of high school students in South Africa
Journal of Optometry, 2016 Aim: To study the prevalence of nearpoint vergence anomalies (convergence insufficiency, convergence excess and fusional vergence dysfunction) and association with gender, age groups, grade level and study site (suburban and rural).

Do standard optometric measures predict binocular coordination during reading?
Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2021 In reading, binocular eye movements are required for optimal visual processing and thus, in case of asthenopia or reading problems, standard orthoptic and optometric routines check individual binocular vision by a variety of tests.

Changes in vergence and accommodation parameters after smartphone use in healthy adults
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2021 Purpose: To assess pre and post vergence and accommodation parameters after monitored reading on a smartphone device. Methods: This prospective comparative study was performed in a tertiary eye care center for a duration of 6 months (December 2017 – May ...
