The Stiles-Crawford effect in retinitis pigmentosa.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stiles-Crawford functions were obtained from the maculas of 22 patients with different genetic types of retinitis pigmentosa and visual acuity of 20/40 or better. Reduced cone directional sensitivity was seen in the fovea with both focal cone electroretinographic testing and psychophysical testing. Functions from the parafovea determined with psychophysical testing showed either significant flattening or displaced peak locations. Results are discussed in terms of factors know to affect photoreceptor orientation and histologic findings in retinitis pigmentosa.

Origin of tapetal-like reflexes in carriers of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa.
PURPOSE To determine the origin of the tapetal-like reflex (TLR) in carriers of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa. METHODS Spectral fundus reflectance of carriers of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa was measured and compared with that of normal subjects. The influence of visual pigment was determined by measuring the density difference, that is, the difference between the logarithmically scaled spec...
متن کاملSimulating human photoreceptor optics using a liquid-filled photonic crystal fiber
We introduce a liquid-filled photonic crystal fiber to simulate a retinal cone photoreceptor mosaic and the directionality selective mechanism broadly known as the Stiles-Crawford effect. Experimental measurements are realized across the visible spectrum to study waveguide coupling and directionality at different managed waveguide parameters. The crystal fiber method is a hybrid tool between th...
متن کاملSimultaneous measurement of foveal spectral reflectance and cone-photoreceptor directionality.
An instrument for simultaneous measurement of foveal spectral reflectance and cone-photoreceptor directionality is described. The key element is an imaging spectrograph (spectral range of 420-790 nm) with its entrance slit conjugate to the pupil plane of a human eye. A 1.9-deg spot on the retina is sampled in 1 s. Video observation of the retina and the pupil facilitates proper alignment. Measu...
متن کاملSimultaneous Presence of Macular Corneal Dystrophy and Retinitis Pigmentosa in Three Members of a Family
Macular corneal dystrophy (MCD) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease. In most cases, various mutations in carbohydrate sulfotransferase 6 (CHST6) gene are the main cause of MCD. These mutations lead to a defect in keratan sulfate synthesis. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is another eye disorder with nyctalopia as its common symptom. It has been shown that more than 65 genes have been implica...

The classical clinical triad of retinitis pigmentosa is arteriolar attenuation , retinal bone-spicule pigmentation and waxy disc pallor. A 33 year old female patient is introduced here. She had unilateral posterior subcapsular cataract, heterochromic iris, and uveitis.The patient also suffered night blindness , had a family history of low vision ,and reduced visual acuity in her right e...
