| convergence nucleus of Perlia | A small cell group located between the somatic cell columns of the oculomotor nuclei. Since it is placed between the groups of motor neurons innervating, respectively, the left and right medial rectus muscles, the nucleus is considered to possibly represent an integrating mechanism for ocular convergence. Synonym: convergence nucleus of Perlia, Spitzka's nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| convergence, ocular | The turning inward of the lines of sight toward each other. (12 Dec 1998) |
| convergence-retraction nystagmus | Irregular, jerky nystagmus combining convergence and retraction of the eye into the orbit, especially on attempting an upward gaze. Synonym: Koerber-Salus-Elschnig syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| points of convergence | <microscopy> In colour video cameras and monitors, the precise alignment of the images or pictures in the three primary colours (red, green and blue). A lack of convergence gives rise to asymmetrically coloured fringes. (05 Aug 1998) |
| positive convergence | Inward deviation of the visual axes even when convergence is at rest, as in cases of convergent squint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| near point of convergence | The point to which the visual lines are directed when convergence is at its maximum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| negative convergence | The slight divergence of the visual axes when convergence is at rest, as when observing the far point or during sleep. (05 Mar 2000) |
| far point of convergence | The point to which the visual lines are directed when convergence is at rest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| unit of convergence | See: meter angle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| unit of ocular convergence | The amount of convergence required to view binocularly an object 1 meter distant and exerting 1 diopter of accommodation. Synonym: unit of ocular convergence. (05 Mar 2000) |
