EYE ANOMALIES

Readers' eye movements distinguish anomalies of form and content.

Evidence is presented that eye-movement patterns during reading distinguish costs associated with the syntactic processing of sentences from costs associated with relating sentence meaning to real world probabilities. Participants (N = 30) read matching sets of sentences that differed by a single word, making the sentence syntactically anomalous (but understandable), pragmatically anomalous, or...

Imaging of developmental anomalies of the eye and the orbit.

The development of the eye and the orbit encompasses a series of stages that take place during the embryonic and fetal periods (1-4). These stages overlap each other temporally , and are interrelated. Multiple diverse genetic and acquired conditions may derange this normal pattern of development. The specific type of anomaly that results, however, depends more heavily on the time that the insul...

Eye anomalies and neurological manifestations in patients with PAX6 mutations

PURPOSE Mutations in the paired box 6 (PAX6)gene cause a wide variety of eye anomalies, including aniridia. PAX6 mutations are not well described in the Chinese population so this study is aimed at exploring the role of PAX6 mutations in Taiwanese patients with congenital eye anomalies. METHODS Seventeen patients with single or multiple congenital eye anomalies were enrolled. Genomic DNA was ...

Two Cases of Mirror-Image Eye Anomalies in Monozygotic Twins

We report two cases of mirror image anomalies in two different pairs of monozygotic twins. In case 1, the twins exhibited mirroring of strabismus and refractive errors. Twin 1 had 35 prism diopters (PD) right intermittent exotropia at distant fixation and myopic anisometropia that was spherical 2.00 diopters more myopic in the right eye. Twin 2 had 35 PD left intermittent exotropia at distant f...
