orthopic fusion
A form of binocular fusion achieved by voluntarily diverging the eyes to fixate on two laterally separated fusible targets. The right eye directly fixates the right target, while the left eye fixates the left target. This differs from normal fusion, where both eyes converge to fixate a single target.
