An Assessment of Stereovision Acquired in Adulthood.

Significance: Increasing evidence indicates that childhood binocular vision disorders that lead to stereodeficiency may be treated in adulthood. Reports of patients who gain stereopsis as adults indicate that this achievement provides for a qualitatively different and dramatically improved sense of space and depth.

Purpose: Increasing evidence suggests that stereopsis can be achieved in adult patients despite long-standing binocular disorders.
