Accommodation and vergence mechanisms in the visual system /

This book gives new answers to and insights into how we receive and process visual information from the external world. It focuses on the linkage between accomodation and vergence in the visual system. Since many scientific disciplines contribute to this field of study, the book combines a number of...
