Binocular vision

Binocular vision is seeing with two eyes. The field of view that can be surveyed with two eyes is greater than with one eye. To the extent that the visual fields of the two eyes overlap, binocular depth can be perceived. This allows objects to be recognized more quickly, camouflage to be detected, spatial relationships to be perceived more quickly and accurately (stereopsis) and perception to be less susceptible to optical illusions.

In secion Medical attention is paid to the occurrence, defects and sharpness of binocular vision. In section Biological the occurrence of binocular vision in animals is described.
