Dichoptic presentation

Dichoptic (from Ancient Greek δίχα (díkha) 'in two' and ὀπτικός (optikós) 'relating to sight') is viewing a separate and independent field by each eye.

Dichoptic perceptual training has been tested in order to stimulate the simultaneous use of both eyes.

[1] In recent years, efforts have been made to develop methods of perceptual learning in vision therapy for treating interocular suppression and improving binocular vision in patients with anisometropic or strabismic amblyopia.

[2] In these methods, data has been presented within a virtual reality environment, and has also been presented using a computer screen or handheld device[3][4] together with matched active or passive filter glasses for the user, which present a different image to each eye.

In order to balance the input of visual information from each eye to the brain, the data is presented in such a manner that the user needs to use both eyes to see the complete scene.
