Ocular Motor System— Binocular Mechanisms
1. In humans, two-thirds of the visual field is projected onto the retina of both eyes. One important function of the ocular motor system, therefore, is to control eye movements and position each eye so that an object of interest projects to corresponding points on each retina and is thus perceived as only a single object. The neural systems designed to achieve these goals operate both automati...
متن کاملX linked ocular albinism in Japanese patients.
Thirteen affected Japanese male patients and 13 female carriers with X linked ocular albinism from seven families were examined to assess their clinical findings and to compare them with those of white and black patients. Affected Japanese patients had poor visual acuity, horizontal nystagmus, macular hypoplasia, and loss of stereopsis. Some affected patients had non-albinotic fundus with moder...
متن کاملOcular albinism with changes typical of carriers.
OCULAR albinism is a form of incomplete albinism in which the lack of pigment is chiefly confined to the eyes. The condition is relatively rare, but since it was described for the first time by Nettleship (1909), it has occasionally been demonstrated in various families. Nettleship was aware that the disease-producing gene was sex-linked, but assumed it to be recessive; recent investigations ha...
متن کاملCloud Cavitation with Particular Attention to Pumps
In many cavitating liquid flows, when the number and concentration of the bubbles exceeds some critical level, the flow becomes unsteady and large clouds of cavitating bubbles are periodically formed and then collapse when convected into regions of higher pressure. This phenomenon is known as cloud cavitation and when it occurs it is almost always associated with a substantial increase in the c...

retinal detachment were also found in one case by Cleary et al.4 Review of the current literature failed to identify any cases where retinal vasculitis predominated or where choroidal infarction occurred. Optic disc swelling is a recognised feature of posterior scleritis. In this case with such extensive vascular involvement it is possible that direct infarction of the optic nerve head could ha...
