ABV goals include diagnosing and treating which disorders?

• A. Color vision deficiencies.
• B. Glaucoma.
• C. Cataracts.
• D. Vergence and accommodation disorders, and improving fusion and stereopsis.

Answer: (D)

ABV focuses on how the two eyes work together and how the brain fuses the images from each eye into a single, stable perception with good depth. The main goals are diagnosing and treating problems with vergence (how the eyes align and converge or diverge) and accommodation (how the eyes focus), along with improving fusion and stereopsis (depth perception). In practice, this means evaluating and rehabilitating binocular coordination, reducing symptoms like double vision or fatigue, and enhancing the brain’s ability to merge images from both eyes. Color vision deficiencies, glaucoma, and cataracts are not primary ABV targets. Color vision issues involve photoreceptor and color-processing function, while glaucoma and cataracts are ocular diseases affecting eye structure or optics. ABV’s emphasis is on binocular function and depth perception, not these non-binocular disorders.
