Contour integration in anisometropic amblyopia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Contour integration was measured in a group of anisometropic amblyopes to test the idea recently put forward that positional uncertainty sets a fundamental limit to contour integration in amblyopia. Anisometropic amblyopia, unlike strabismic amblyopia, has little or no positional uncertainty once the initial filtering loss has been taken into account. Therefore, according to the explanation put forward to explain strabismic amblyopia, anisometropes should exhibit normal contour integration. We show that this expectation is realized for five of our six anisometropic amblyopes.

Contour integration deficits in anisometropic amblyopia.
PURPOSE Previous retrospective studies have found that integration of orientation information along contours defined by Gabor patches is abnormal in strabismic, but not in anisometropic, amblyopia. This study was conducted to reexamine the question of whether anisometropic amblyopes have contour integration deficits prospectively in an untreated sample, to isolate the effects of the disease fro...
متن کاملRecovery of contour integration in relation to LogMAR visual acuity during treatment of amblyopia in children.
PURPOSE In several studies, researchers have found that integration of orientation information along contours defined by Gabor patches is abnormal in patients with strabismus and in untreated patients with anisometropic amblyopia. In this study, the rate and degree of recovery of contour-integration deficits were compared with the recovery of logMAR (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution...
متن کاملExperience-expectant development of contour integration mechanisms in human visual cortex.
Extended contours are a common feature of natural images. Most previous studies have considered contour integration as a two-dimensional process of linking like-oriented elements along their common orientation axis. Yet contours exist in a three-dimensional world, and one might therefore ask about the relationship between contour integration and binocular vision. Using an event-related potentia...
متن کاملVisual Acuity Improvement in Continuous vs Divided Occlusion in Anisometropic Amblyopia
Purpose To compare visual acuity improvement between continuous and split part-time occlusion for the treatment of moderate and severe anisometropic amblyopia. Methods Randomised clinical trials in 6 - 13 y.o children with moderate and severe anisometropic amblyopia. Each patient was consecutively selected with continuous or split part-time occlusion. Best corrected visual acuity's improvemen...
متن کاملPattern Visual Evoked Potential as a Predictor of Occlusion Therapy for Amblyopia
PURPOSE This study was conducted to investigate the role of the pattern visual evoked potential (pVEP) as a predictor of occlusion therapy for patients with strabismic, anisometropic, and isometropic amblyopia. The secondary aim was to compare the characteristics of pVEP between strabismic and anisometropic amblyopia. METHODS This retrospective comparative case series included 120 patients wh...
