Scotopic Optokinetic Nystagmus Thresholds
Although it is now well established that a variety of ocular and systemic diseases, including diabetes, are harmful to the SWS cone pathway, causing a decrease in SW sensitivity,"the site(s) of the loss is not well known. The loss in SW sensitivity in diabetes has been variously attributed to changes in the lens, loss of SWS cone receptors due to their greater vulnerability to insult, the reduc...
متن کاملObjective assessment of visual acuity by induction of optokinetic nystagmus.
Optokinetic nystagmus is the term applied to the nystagmus evoked by a succession of moving objects passing before the eyes (Brain, 1962). It has proved useful as a diagnostic tool in the examination of patients with neurological disease (Cogan, 1956; Huber, 1961; Smith, 1963; Walsh, 1957). Methods of inducing and suppressing optokinetic nystagmus have also been used as the basis for objective ...
متن کاملStudy of congenital nystagmus: optokinetic nystagmus.
A severe defect of optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) was found in 46 patients with congenital nystagmus. Abnormal patterns of OKN, such as superimposition of pendular oscillations on the optokinetic slow component and inversion of OKN, were observed. Optokinetic gain (eye movement velocity/drum velocity) was decreased compared to that in normal subjects, and optokinetic after-nystagmus, or transient ...
متن کاملEffect of visual attention on the properties of optokinetic nystagmus
It has been demonstrated that optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) gain increases through attention to peripheral motion when the central visual field is occluded. However, how the properties of OKN change when two areas containing motion in different directions are presented in the peripheral visual field is still unclear. In this study, we investigated whether OKN corresponding to the attended motion ...
متن کاملVertical optokinetic nystagmus and optokinetic afternystagmus in humans.
Vertical optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) and optokinetic afternystagmus (OKAN) were recorded in 6 normal subjects using the magnetic scleral search coil technique in order to reevaluate the up-down symmetry of these responses. The effects of body position relative to gravity were investigated by comparing OKN and OKAN elicited with the subjects in an erect and in a lateral side position. No consist...
