As we briefly touched on before, stereoscopic vision is what occurs when our eyes work together to produce the effect of depth in our minds. Not to get too bogged down with scientific terms we have to discuss a few things to get us all on the same page. The manner in which stereo vision is produced is actually pretty straight forward. When both eyes engage and fixate on a target a few things are happening to get us to perceive true depth. The angular difference between the right and left eye, when they fixate on a target, results in the stimulation of depth perception in the mind and lets us perceive a complete and depth-filled picture.
The importance of stereo vision is something that might not be implied on just hearing the term but it is most certainly a crucial part of our visual system. Having true depth perception is a skill that is the bedrock for most of, if not all, our daily ongoings in life from playing sports, to tying our shoes and the list is endless. Not being able to see in stereo vision has an equally long list of implications such as not being able to judge distances between objects appropriately which can affect how we drive, cross the street or play catch with the kids. The personal safety aspect is one of the main things we consider when a person cannot perceive depth. If our mind can’t truly appreciate the space between objects it will change how we engage with the environment and not for the better. Also, along with external engagement, it will change how we interact with ourselves, making us overcautious or careful because we come to know the danger of not being able to see things where they truly are in space in relation to other objects, especially if they are moving.
Congratulations, You are one step closer to achieving stereo vision by pursuing treatment with Amplify EyeCare Santa Clarita. For most cases, stereovision is a skill that can be built up in vision therapy sessions. After you’ve had your comprehensive vision and sensorimotor exam and this culprit popped up we can begin to treat your needs. Throughout vision therapy there are many exercises that work to restore or completely rebuild the system which controls how we perceive depth. By getting proper motor alignment of the eyes and engaging our “feel” system we can get the patient to not only perceive depth but also to have a full appreciation of it. With continued in-office therapy this skill will translate into the outside and you’ll see it like never before. You can schedule a comprehensive eye exam by calling (661) 775-1860.

Stereoscopic vision is the ability to register objects as being three-dimensional in relation to themselves and other objects by way of visual input through the binocular system. Put simply, our eyes work together to produce the depth we ascribe to three-dimensional objects in our mind.
My eight year old daughter was terrified to go to the eye doctor for fear of her eyes being dilated. The doctor was SO KID friendly! He immediately made her comfortable by engaging her in conversation. It was a geat experience.

I have been coming to Family Vision Center for almost 20 years. Dr. Garbus has been able to help my vision when other doctors could not. Now my kids see him as well. I highly recommend this office!
The Doctor is very good. I felt on this visit he seemed rushed. I had questions to ask him but he was already with another patient. I still do not know if my eyes are the same , worse, or better.
All the staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, and has been for all the years I have been going there.
