Spatial summation across the central visual field: implications for visual field testing.
In the present study, we measured the extent of spatial summation in the detection of image contrast within the central 40° visual field. Contrast detection thresholds (in 28 observers) were measured for a spot of light of 10 different sizes [area: 0.03-1.92(°)(2)] at different retinal meridians (0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 225°, 270°, and 315°) and eccentricities (0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, and 20°). Con...
متن کاملDetermining Spatial Summation and Its Effect on Contrast Sensitivity across the Central 20 Degrees of Visual Field
PURPOSE Recent studies propose that the use of target stimuli within or close to complete spatial summation reveal larger threshold elevation in ocular disease. The Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer (HFA) is used to assess visual function yet the spatial summation characteristics are unexplored for the central macular region. We therefore wanted to establish the relationship between contrast sensi...
متن کاملBinocular Summation within the Binocular Visual Field
To study the influence of binocular summation on the threshold values of the central visual field in normal subjects, the authors modified the Octopus 201 by combining it with the space synoptophore. They tested ten normal subjects between 20 and 30 years of age. A space synoptophore was built into the cupola of the Octopus 201 so that the authors could confirm the conditions of binocular visio...
متن کاملCentral visual field in diabetes.
Little detailed work has been reported on the central visual field in diabetes. Scott (I957) stated that "the causation of scotomata by endogenic toxins is extremely rare"; DuboisPoulsen (1952) reported a study of diabetic patients using rod scotometry (Livingston, 1943) in which central field scotomata were found in eyes with no visible retinopathy. The original reference to diabetic patients ...
متن کاملPerceived length in the central visual field: evidence for visual field asymmetries
Visual performance for judging the length of a simultaneously presented pair of radial lines, reciprocally opposed by 180 degrees at a central fixation point, was assessed for 24 radial positions of test lines, for three viewing conditions (binocular, left and right monocular) and five different standard line sizes (1.43-7.13 degrees ). Generally, the results showed underestimation of the test ...
