>Another condition more common in schizophrenia than the general population is strabismus (Yoshitsugu et al., 2006), or differential alignment of the eyes. Elevated rates of strabismus have also been found in children who later develop schizophrenia (Schiffman et al., 2006). This can result in amblyopia, and depth perception difficulties, and people with schizophrenia have shown poor performance on visual tasks such as contour integration that resembles that of people with amblyopia [..sources..], as well as problems with depth perception

>Patients with schizophrenia exhibited a marked deficiency of stereopsis that is unaffected by drug treatment, and is independent of disease progression. These findings suggest that there was a strong association between stereopsis defect and schizophrenia.

>Starting point is the case of an unmedicated hyperopic patient with chronic schizophrenia in whom an inability had been found to deliberately converge with the left eye from a distant to a near target in a test developed by the author [...] By correcting the resulting anisometropia with a contact lens on the hyperopic right eye instead of spectacles – which had caused an aniseikonia – binocular convergence and fixation of the target of selective attention was established and the patient's psychotic problems disappeared.
