title: Referral recommendations for binocular function and/or developmental perceptual deficiencies.
abstract: The complexity of the area of binocular function and perceptual development has resulted in the necessity of intraprofessional referrals. We have divided this specialty into systems. These include the accommodative, vergence, ocular motor, sensory and perceptual systems. In each system we have provided symptoms and clinical findings, which can be utilized for tentative diagnostic purposes. It is incumbent on those practitioners whose interests do not lie in this area to be sufficiently knowledgeable relative to both the patient's difficulty, and to the referral source who might best serve the patient's needs.
