Catford, G. V., and Oliver, A. (1973). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 48, 47. Development of visual acuity. A hand-held electrically operated instrument has been devised to assess visual acuity by means of the phenomenon of optokinetic fixation nystagmus. An accurate determination of visual acuity has been obtained from an early age, and a graph of the normal visual acuity development produc...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) are hypothesized to affect visual acuity development in infants. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been conducted to assess whether supplementation of LCPUFAs of infant formulas affects infant visual acuity. This meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate whether LCPUFA supplementation of infant formulas improves infa...

PURPOSE To characterize the effect of passive vertical head motion on dynamic visual acuity of young, normally sighted subjects wearing telescopic spectacles, and to relate this to the velocity of images on the retina. METHODS Static visual acuity was measured without motion. Dynamic visual acuity was measured during vertical, sinusoidal motion of either optotypes or of a servo-driven rotatin...
