Functional Binocular Vision: Toward a Person-Centered Metric

Abstract

A research program investigating correctable issues in Functional Binocular Vision (FBV) related optometric variables to responses from a symptom survey and reading test results. The study was mounted with no explicit attention to measurement modeling. Data from this research program were retrospectively analyzed with the aims of evaluating the potential for learning from the existing observations, and for improving the study design in future iterations. Results suggest that the physical and psychological measurements of vision combine into a model of FBV that could be standardized and deployed for use in diagnosing significant numbers of untreated vision problems negatively impacting learning outcomes.
