| Fusion Reserve | Check the ability of both eyes to move inward or outward in order to maintain binocular single vision |
| Near Point Convergence | Check the ability of both eyes to move inward direction when looking at close objects for example reading |
| Accommodation (Focus) | Check the ability of both eyes together and each eye individually to focus at near, moreover check the flexibility of the visual system to check the focus from near to distance |
