fixation disparity
Fixation disparity is a subtle misalignment of the eyes that occurs during binocular viewing, where each eye slightly deviates from perfect alignment while still maintaining single vision. It can cause symptoms such as eyestrain and headaches, particularly during tasks that require sustained visual attention.
