Abstract:
Presented here is a method for the improvement of stereopsis. It is based on covering and uncovering one eye in a particular way. A complete program for the improvement of stereopsis is described. This includes an uncovering technique, the use of an Orthofuser, and the observation of specular reflections. Examples are given which demonstrate the effectiveness of the method. Persons who are capable of stereopsis but who use it selectively or not at all in everyday life (paradoxical stereopsis) are particularly easy to cure.
