Cyclotropia is often associated with other disorders of strabism, can result in double vision, and can cause other symptoms, in particular head tilt.
[4] Conversely, artificially causing cyclotropia in cats leads to reduced vision acuity, resulting in a defect similar to strabismic amblyopia.
[10] Experiments have also been made on whether cyclic deviations can be assessed by purely photographic means.
[7][10] The compensation can be a motor response (visually evoked cyclovergence) or can take place during signal processing in the brain.
[12] (Nonetheless two Dove prisms can be employed to rotate the visual field in experimental settings.)
