description: The forward placement of the eyes in the head as a result of the phylogenetic development of binocular vision in vertebrates has been made functionally possible by the simultaneous development of vergence eye movements. The function of these disjunctive eye movements is to support depth-finding and range-finding mechanisms. Binocular vision in humans is based on the physiological combination of information processed by the two eyes so that binocular disparate images referenced to the horopter can stimulate stereoscopic depth perception.
