The Bifixation Field as a Function of Viewing Distance by Philip M. Grove, Alistair P. Mapp, Hiroshi Ono

“…Hering reported that the area over which he could bifixate a target was smaller at near convergence distances than far convergence distances and predicted that in extreme horizontal gaze positions, the temporally directed eye lags behind the nasally directed eye. We tested these predictions using a subjective index of eye position. …”
