A pupillometric correlate of scotopic visual acuity
While not easily fit into the classic descriptions of the pupillary light reflex, previous studies reported that changes in the spatial composition of the retinal image can evoke a pupillary response. The present study extends this observation by showing that the pupil constricts in response to scotopic as well as photopic spatial patterns. Moreover, the amplitude of the scotopic response decre...
متن کاملPeripheral visual acuity with special reference to scotopic illumination.
The capacity of the retina to discriminate form decreases rapidly just outside the fovea and continues to diminish peripherally. Wertheim's classical data^ show a steep drop in relative visual acuity from 1.00 at the fovea to 0.46 at 5 degrees , and then a slower drop to 0.20 at 10 degrees. An acuity of 0.20 could still be measured at 20 degrees. Ludvigh's meas-urements' roughly parallel these,...
متن کاملIndividual Differences in Scotopic Visual Acuity and Contrast Sensitivity: Genetic and Non-Genetic Influences
Despite the large amount of variation found in the night (scotopic) vision capabilities of healthy volunteers, little effort has been made to characterize this variation and factors, genetic and non-genetic, that influence it. In the largest population of healthy observers measured for scotopic visual acuity (VA) and contrast sensitivity (CS) to date, we quantified the effect of a range of vari...
متن کاملEffect of differential binocular adaptation on scotopic acuity.
Monocular scotopic acuity thresholds were determined for three observers when both eyes were dark adapted and also when only the observing eye was dark adapted while the nonobserving eye was exposed to a brightness of 100 ft-L between the target presentations. Although the observers reported that the targets looked quite different under the two conditions, acuity remained substantially the same...
متن کاملSymptomatic Rathke’s Cleft Cyst Presenting With Decreased Visual Acuity
Background and Importance: Symptomatic Rathke’s cleft cyst is a rare lesion that often presents without any symptoms. Case Presentation: We report a 40-year-old female with symptomatic Rathke’s cleft cyst located in the sellar and suprasellar region. She presented with visual disturbance, headache, weight gain, hypothyroidism and amenorrhea. The patient underwent surgery and ...
