How Eye Dominance Affects Fusion in Healthy Adults
Official title: A Comparative Study of Fusional Vergence According to Ocular Dominance in Healthy Subjects
Run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · NCT07697131 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether fusional vergence measurements differ when tested on the dominant eye versus the non-dominant eye in healthy adults.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–35 with no known eye conditions (any refractive error corrected if needed) and no history of eye surgery.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with existing eye disorders, strabismus, or poor visual acuity may not benefit from this measurement-focused study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
In orthoptics, fusional vergence measures how well the eyes fuse images. The study assigns the prism-bar test to either the dominant or non-dominant eye in a randomized order to see if dominant-eye testing yields greater fusion amplitudes. It also evaluates ocular dominance and basic orthoptic measures. The goal is to understand if eye dominance influences fusion assessment and rehabilitation planning.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could improve accuracy in fusion testing and tailor orthoptic rehabilitation to the eye that yields the most reliable measurements.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work has explored fusional vergence and dominance separately, but this study directly tests dominance-related differences in a randomized design.
