متن کاملMotion perception deficits in glaucomatous optic neuropathy
The mechanisms mediating impaired motion perception in glaucoma were investigated. Direction discrimination thresholds for low (4.2 deg/sec) and high (12.5 deg/sec) velocity random-dot kinematograms were measured in controls and patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Thresholds were elevated significantly in glaucoma patients and individual ocular hypertensives. Threshold elevations wer...
