چکیده

The classical studies of coal miners' nystagmus were monocular in outlook, but the rise of orthoptics, the work of Campbell and others (1948, 1951), and the suggestion by Browne (1951) that miners' nystagmus may be a type of disuse atrophy of the visual apparatus, have all focused attention upon the binocular vision of the miner with this disease. The objects of the present investigation are to consider the following:

Binocular vision in light adaptation and dark adaptation in normal subjects and coal-miners.

PART II. COAL-MINERS HAVING established the behaviour of the normal subject when tested on the synoptophore under specified conditions of light adaptation and dark adaptation (Campbell and others, 1951), we have used the same methods to examine a large number of coal-miners (some 09htAdapted employed on the coal-face, and '60A some certified as suffering from / \ coal-miners' nystagmus). /# ' I...

The Chair of Industrial Health in Newcastle upon Tyne was first filled in March, 1946. For about the first i2 years diseases of coalminers posed the main clinical and research problems. They stimulated surveys of pneumoconiosis in the Durham and Northumberland coalfields and led to studies of x-ray viewing techniques and of the relationship of radiological appearance to symptoms in dust disease...

Eye velocity asymmetry, ocular orientation, and convergence induced by angular rotation in the rabbit

We studied ocular asymmetries and orienting responses induced by angular rotation in rabbits with binocular video recordings. Slow phase velocities were significantly larger in the eye moving temporonasally than nasotemporally. The eyes also converged and pitched down during rotation, which increased and refocused binocular overlap in the visual fields. Eye position also shifted into the slow p...

تاثیر هم افزایی دوچشمی بر مولفه های موج پتانسیل برانگیخته بینایی

  Background : To determine the effect of binocular summation on the time domain transient VEP wave's components.   Methods : The monocular and binocular transient visual evoked potentials of 21 normally vision volunteers 18 to 24 years (mean ± SD, 20.7 ± 1.9) during a reversing checkerboard stimulus with spatiotemporal frequency of 2.18-4 cpd-Hz were recorded. The amplitude and latency of N75,...

Optokinetic nystagmus in strabismus: are asymmetries related to binocularity?

PURPOSE Strabismus may be associated with an asymmetry of monocular horizontal optokinetic nystagmus (OKN). It is unclear whether OKN asymmetries are associated with deficiency in binocular and/or stereovision. In the current study, patients with different degrees of binocularity were investigated. METHODS OKN was examined in the dominant and nondominant eyes of four groups of patients: (1) n...
