Further followup: (Part IV) A case of acute loss of binocular vision and stereoscopic depth perception.
(Combined case report followup) This is a continuation of a personal report by a knowledgeable vision scientist, of the loss of binocular vision due to a major vitreous hemorrhage. Please see the initial report for further details. (Romano PE. A case of acute loss of binocular vision and stereoscopic depth perception. (The misery of acute monovision, having been binocular for 68 years) Binocul Vis Strabismus Q 2003; 18:51-55; and followup Binocul Vis Strabismus Q 2003; 18:101-103, Binocul Vis Strabismus Q 2003; 18:174-175. This report covers months nine and ten following the hemorrhage. In the two months since the last report, Visual acuity continues to improve to 20/20 with correction, one line less than the fellow eye. Residual ring shaped floaters only occasionally interfere with visual function which is normal now for virtually all extents and purposes. The previously reported observation that binocular ocular sighting dominance is gaze dependent is confirmed by prior recently published research: Khan AZ, Crawford JD. Ocular dominance reverses as a function of horizontal gaze angle. Vision Research 2001; 41:1743-1748.
