Threshold vision in amblyopia: orientation and phase.
PURPOSE The visual deficit in amblyopia involves both elevated contrast thresholds and distorted suprathreshold percepts at high spatial frequencies. It is currently unclear whether these two anomalies are part of the same neural disturbance or whether they reflect different neural dysfunction. METHODS The quality of the spatial percepts in amblyopia was assessed at detection threshold. The a...
متن کاملAmblyopia and binocular vision.
Amblyopia is the most common cause of monocular visual loss in children, affecting 1.3%-3.6% of children. Current treatments are effective in reducing the visual acuity deficit but many amblyopic individuals are left with residual visual acuity deficits, ocular motor abnormalities, deficient fine motor skills, and risk for recurrent amblyopia. Using a combination of psychophysical, electrophysi...
متن کاملFoveal vision in amblyopia.
THE reduced visual acuity in amblyopic eyes has presented a.problem ever since the condition was recognized. Most of the evidence so far favours the cortex as the site of inhibition (Vogt, 1939; Wald and Burian, 1944; Dyer and Bierman, 1952). Clarke (1941) thought that the cause might be an atrophy from disuse affecting the cells of the lateral geniculate body which rely for their vitality on t...
متن کاملOrientation tuning in human colour vision at detection threshold
We measure the orientation tuning of red-green colour and luminance vision at low (0.375 c/deg) and mid (1.5 c/deg) spatial frequencies using the low-contrast psychophysical method of subthreshold summation. Orientation bandwidths of the underlying neural detectors are found using a model involving Minkowski summation of the rectified outputs of a bank of oriented filters. At 1.5 c/deg, we find...
متن کاملOrientation variance discrimination in amblyopia.
Our previous results showed that while amblyopes can efficiently integrate visual signals, they are poor at segregating signals in noise. This could be either because integration detectors have broader bandwidths or because of a selective extrastriate segregation anomaly. One consequence of the former would be poorer variance discrimination. Using a two-alternative forced-choice paradigm, obser...
