The term that represents how well the two eyes work together is known as

  1. Strabismus

  2. Astigmatism

  3. Binocular vision

  4. Pupillary distance

The correct answer is: Binocular vision

Binocular vision is the term used to describe how well our two eyes work together to see one image with depth perception. This is achieved through nerve connections in the brain called binocular cells. The other answer choices are incorrect for a variety of reasons. Strabismus is a condition where the eyes are misaligned, causing double vision. Astigmatism is a refractive error that causes blurry vision due to an irregularly shaped cornea. Pupillary distance is the distance between the pupils, which is used to determine the correct placement of eyeglass lenses. While these terms are related to vision and eye health, they do not specifically refer to the coordination and cooperation of both eyes.
