Vergence Reflex – the ability to converge or diverge the lines of sight to fixate on objects at various distances.
Fusion Range – the amount of prism interference needed to break the
lines of sight apart from a fixation point.
We use prisms to measure deviations, to measure the strength of compensating fusional reflexes, and to correct deviations.

Verticals will require further evaluation by your physician or specialist i.e. Park Three Step test for isolating vertical muscles.
