Why Are Binocular Disabilities Often Ignored and Unrecognized?
Possible answers: • It’s a health problem that doesn’t kill (unless we were to attribute some accidents to it). • People who have never known normal depth perception don’t know what they’re missing. • Some binocular disabilities are not easily detected by untrained observers because the turning or straying of the eye(s) is not obvious or consistent. Some eye turns come and go and are not so easily noticed. That’s why early comprehensive eye examinations are so important for children.
