Background:

A previous study introduced a novel method for monitoring binocular fixation performance based on fixation eccentricity's effect on border enhancement.
This method offers advantages over conventional techniques by being independent of interocular nonius alignment.

Purpose of the Study:

To address the ambiguity in interpreting binocularly presented border stimulation measurements.
To refine the method for monitoring binocular fixation performance by eliminating monocular versus binocular perception uncertainty.

Main Methods:

A modified border stimulation technique was employed, where a section of the border presented to one eye was removed.
The other eye viewed a monocularly presented border segment, creating a distinct visual condition.

An optimum size artificial pupil was utilized to control for confounding factors.

Main Results:

The modified method successfully eliminated the ambiguity between monocular and binocular perception of the enhancement band.
It was confirmed that convergence-associated accommodation does not significantly impact enhancement measurements when using an optimum artificial pupil.

Conclusions:

The refined method provides a more reliable way to measure binocular fixation performance.
This advancement enhances the accuracy and interpretability of visual function assessments.
