Astigmatism and acuity in two primate infants.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of grating acuity was followed in two astigmatic primate infants, one a human being and one a pigtail macaque monkey. Both infants showed variations of acuity with grating orientation, predictable from the orientation and type of astigmatism present. Optical correction of the human infant during testing virtually eliminated the variation of acuity with orientation, suggesting that a neurally based meridional amblyopia had not yet been established.

Amblyopia in astigmatic infants and toddlers.
PURPOSE To determine whether reduced astigmatism-corrected acuity for vertical (V) and/or horizontal (H) gratings and/or meridional amblyopia (MA) are present before 3 years of age in children who have with-the-rule astigmatism. METHODS Subjects were 448 children, 6 months through 2 years of age with no known ocular abnormalities other than with-the-rule astigmatism, who were recruited throug...
متن کاملDepth of focus, eye size and visual acuity.
We develop formulas for calculating the approximate depth of focus of any eye. They show that the magnitude of depth of focus is inversely proportional to the size of the eye and to its visual acuity. One particular implication of these quantitative relations. which is supported by previous data from rats and human infants, is that small eyes with low acuity should have large depths of focus. W...

This study compares 8-0 vicryl (V) and 10-0 Nylon (N) suture material for induced astigmatism and its decay in time in cataract operation. This is retrospective study of consequetive case series that underwent cataract extraction and intraocular lens...
