title: Actual measurement of fixation disparity and its use in diagnosis and treatment.
abstract: An instrument and technique are described which, for the first time, enable the eye care practitioner to measure the angle of fixation disparity. A forced vergence fixation disparity curve can be quickly measured in the office. Research findings and patient examples are used to show how a fixation disparity curve is analyzed to diagnose and prescribe for an oculomotor imbalance.
