Nystagmus Does Not Limit Reading Ability in Albinism
PURPOSE Subjects with albinism usually suffer from nystagmus and reduced visual acuity, which may impair reading performance. The contribution of nystagmus to decreased reading ability is not known. Low vision and nystagmus may have an additive effect. We aimed to address this question by motion compensation of the nystagmus in affected subjects and by simulating nystagmus in healthy controls. ...
متن کاملPeriodic alternating nystagmus in humans with albinism.
PURPOSE To quantify the spatial and temporal nature of congenital periodic alternating nystagmus (PAN) and to test the hypothesis that PAN results from a temporal shift in the null zone. METHODS Twenty-five subjects with oculocutaneous albinism (16 tyrosinase negative and 9 tyrosinase positive) and 7 with ocular albinism (5 x-linked and 2 autosomal recessive) participated in the study. Using ...
متن کاملSemantic interference in picture naming during dual-task performance does not vary with reading ability.
Previous dual-task studies examining the locus of semantic interference of distractor words in picture naming have obtained diverging results. In these studies, participants manually responded to tones and named pictures while ignoring distractor words (picture-word interference, PWI) with varying stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) between tone and PWI stimulus. Whereas some studies observed no se...
متن کاملNystagmus in a female carrier of ocular albinism.
account for the phenotypic variability in these cases would be the expression of recessive genes present on the hemizygous segments of the normal chromosome 18. Our patient clearly had some thyroid tissue, as indicated by physical examination and the presence of some 13"I accumulation in the neck. But whether the hypothyroidism is a result of a structural malformation in the gland or a defect i...
متن کاملReading strategies in infantile nystagmus syndrome.
PURPOSE The adaptive strategies adopted by individuals with infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) during reading are not clearly understood. Eye movement recordings were used to identify ocular motor strategies used by patients with INS during reading. METHODS Eye movements were recorded at 500 Hz in 25 volunteers with INS and 7 controls when reading paragraphs of text centered at horizontal gaz...
