Presented here is a method for the improvement of stereopsis. It is based on covering and uncovering one eye in a particular way. A complete program for the improvement of stereopsis is described. This includes an uncovering technique, the use of an Orthofuser, and the observation of specular reflections. Examples are given which demonstrate the effectiveness of the method. Persons who are capable of stereopsis but who use it selectively or not at all in everyday life (paradoxical stereopsis) are particularly easy to cure.

D014792	Visual Acuity	Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast.	Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities
