Reliability of fixation disparity curves.
Fixation disparity curves were recorded in three normal subjects once per week over a period of 10 weeks. Results indicate that measurements of fixation disparity are reliable within limited ranges of forced convergence and forced divergence. Increases in the demand to maintain fusion lead to increases in observed variability of fixation disparity. It is suggested that variability of fixation disparity might be related to the ease with which the two eyes are used as a team.
