BINOCULAR SUMMATION
Binocular summation refers to the process by which vision with two eyes is enhanced over that which would be expected with just one eye. Binocular summation enhances visual function over monocular vision in five key areas: visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, flicker frequency detection, brightness perception, and detection of objects in dim light.
