Journal ArticleDOI
Advantages of binocular vision for the control of reaching and grasping.
Dean R. Melmoth,Simon Grant +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that these benefits derive from binocular disparity processing linked to changes in relative hand–target distance, and that this depth information is independently used to regulate the progress of the approaching hand and to guide the digits to the (pre-selected) contact points on the object, thereby ensuring that the grip is securely applied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prehension deficits in amblyopia.
TL;DR: Visuomotor adaptations in amblyopes are relatively minor and limited to aspects of movement planning, but their deficits in movement execution should benefit from treatments that restore spatial acuity and binocularity to progressively normal levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eye–Hand Coordination Skills in Children with and without Amblyopia
TL;DR: The importance of binocular vision for eye-hand coordination normally increases with age and use of online movement guidance, and restoring binocularity in children with amblyopia may improve their poor hand action control.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Functional Consequences of Glaucoma for Eye-Hand Coordination
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that patients with glaucoma exhibit deficits in eye-hand coordination compared with the age-matched normally sighted control, and deficits correlated with both increasing severity of VF defect and impaired stereoacuity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grasping Deficits and Adaptations in Adults with Stereo Vision Losses
TL;DR: High-grade binocular stereo vision is essential for skilled precision grasping and reduced disparity sensitivity results in inaccurate grasp-point selection and greater reliance on nonvisual information from object contact to control grip stability.
