Summary The basis of our understanding of binocular vision and amblyopia in clinical practice has not changed much since Claud Worth formulated three grades of binocular vision in 1903 – well over a century ago. Despite many scientific advances in the neuroanatomical and neurophysiological aspects of binocular vision it may – or may not – come as a surprise that the treatment of strabismus and amblyopia has not fundamentally changed since. This part of the Special Interest Symposium “contains nothing new” [p.1 Squint: its causes, pathology and treatment. Worth C. London, John Bale, Sons & Danielsson Ltd, 1903], to an extent, but is intended as a refresher of the anatomical and physiological basis of binocular vision and to prime the attendants for the symposium's subject: the presentation of recent advances in the research of the corpus callosum and its role in binocular vision.
