WHAT DOES HOROPTER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Horopter

In studies of binocular vision the horopter is the locus of points in space that yield single vision. This can be defined theoretically as the points in space which are imaged on corresponding points in the two retinas, that is, on anatomically identical points. An alternative definition is that it is the locus of points in space which make the same angles at the two eyes with the fixation lines. More usually it is defined empirically using some criterion.

Definition of horopter in the English dictionary

The definition of horopter in the dictionary is the locus of all points in space that stimulate points on each eye that yield the same visual direction as each other.
