Convergence Maximum

Maximum convergence is the highest degree of convergence at which the ability of binocular fixation is still preserved.

Convergence is the ability of the eyes to bring the visual axes towards the bridge of the nose to fixate the gaze on an object located close to the eyes.

With maximum convergence, the eyeballs rotate as far as possible toward the nose to focus on an object very close to the face. This is the extreme degree of tension of the eye muscles necessary to maintain binocular vision when viewing an object at a minimum distance.

Exceeding the capabilities of maximum convergence leads to loss of binocular vision and the appearance of double vision. Therefore, maximum convergence is an indicator of the maximum capabilities of the human binocular vision system. Its value varies from person to person and decreases with age.



Convergence is the ability of the eye to focus on close objects when the eye muscles contract to reduce the distance between the retinas. Maximum convergence is the distance between the two eyes at which the most relaxed binocular device can still perform focusing and vision without redirecting to one image. This maximum range is measured in millimeters.

Maximum convergence is important for those who participate in sports, such as boxers or motorcyclists, since these sports involve physical activities that require a high degree of training. Another reason why people are interested in this property is the use of binoculars to view distant objects. The greater the distance to the object, the greater the maximum degree of convention. This is because the eyeball must expand quickly to allow light to penetrate it.

Today, many athletes use binocular viewing to improve their performance. Binocular glasses allow both eyes to focus on one image with complete concentration. These glasses cover one eye and create a fully focused image that captures details on an object as if you were looking at it with only one eye. There are several types of binocular glasses, some of which are designed for different activities.

For example, one type of lens is designed for sports vision. For boxing and other sports where the athlete has to move quickly, high-throughput lenses are needed that allow enough light to pass through. They can also help the athlete focus more on a small image, leaving the excess on the other eye. Highly reflective types of masks are needed in professional practice to perform small and precise tasks such as reading and letter reference (letter reading).

People with eye conditions may also need help in this area. Conditions that require binocular vision include keratoconus, astigmatism, and presbyometry with astigmatism. Bino problem
