Retinal correspondence

Retinal correspondence is the inherent relationship between paired retinal visual cells in the two eyes. Images from one object stimulate both cells, which transmit the information to the brain, permitting a single visual impression localized in the same direction in space.[1]

Types

Normal retinal correspondence (NRC) is a binocular condition in which both foveas work together as corresponding retinal points, with resultant images fused in the occipital cortex of the brain.[1]

Abnormal retinal correspondence (ARC), also called Anomalous retinal correspondence is binocular sensory adaptation to compensate for a long-standing eye deviation (i.e. strabismus). The fovea of the straight (non-deviated) eye and non-foveal retinal point of the deviated eye work together, sometimes permitting single binocular vision.[1]

gollark: Anyway, I'm never using it myself, as they are uncool and do not support Linux.
gollark: Of course, the potatOS Privacy Policy is far superior to all these ToSes which let you keep your soul.
gollark: I looked into it, and apparently their ToS is vaguely worrying, although to be fair that's... generally the case.
gollark: "oh yes, what a horrible mistake, we accidentally accessed too much data"
