Our functional vision skills system that allows us to locate where in space we want to direct the eyes to look (eye teaming) and then to identify what is it we are looking at (accommodation) is highly dependent on very fine eye muscle control.
So the effects of alcohol or stress can have an impact on the accuracy of this system to perform.
