    Fusional vergence involves two stages: initiating and sustaining. This study found these stages are independent, with sustained convergence influencing disparity-induced divergence, not convergence.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuroscience
    • Vision Science

    Background:

    • Fusional vergence is crucial for maintaining single binocular vision.
    • It is proposed to operate via two distinct components: fusion-initiating and fusion-sustaining.
    • The precise relationship between these vergence components requires further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the interrelationship between fusion-initiating and fusion-sustaining vergence components.
    • To compare the amplitude of disparity-induced vergence across the sustained fusional vergence operating range.

    Main Methods:

    • Experimental comparison of disparity-induced vergence amplitudes.
    • Measurements were taken across varying levels of sustained fusional vergence.
    • Analysis focused on disparity-induced convergence and divergence.

    Main Results:

    • Disparity-induced divergence significantly increased as sustained convergence levels rose.
    • Disparity-induced convergence remained relatively constant across the tested range.
    • These findings suggest independent functioning of the vergence components.

    Conclusions:

    • The fusion-initiating and fusion-sustaining components of vergence appear to operate independently.
    • Increased sustained convergence may influence disparity-induced divergence through accommodation.
    • Accommodation's role in uncrossed retinal disparities warrants further investigation.
