Measurement of acuity variations within the central visual field caused by neurological lesions.

چکیده
We describe a method capable of quantitatively measuring the visual acuity of small, eccentrically-located areas of the visual field, even within the macular area. Fixation errors are minimized by presenting stimuli briefly and in random order. The method is more sensitive than Bjerrum screen campimetry in detecting hemianopic and quadrantic losses.

Visual acuity and behavior of monocularly deprived monkeys after retinal lesions.
One eyelid of each of three Macaca nemestrina monkeys was sutured shut at 3 weeks of age. One animal had the central 10 degrees of the open eye retina lesioned at 3 weeks of age (EL1), a second at 9 months of age (LL1), and the third had no lesion (MD1). After a reverse suture at 9 months of age, the deprived eye was tested for grating acuity, visual behavior, and visual field. EL1 tested posit...

متن کاملThe effects of parvocellular lateral geniculate lesions on the acuity and contrast sensitivity of macaque monkeys.
The effects of ablating the visual pathway that passes through the parvocellular (dorsal) LGN were tested in 2 macaque monkeys by measuring acuity and both luminance and chromatic contrast sensitivity. Thresholds were tested monocularly before and after ibotenic acid was used to lesion parvocellular layers 4 and 6 of the contralateral geniculate. The injections were centered at the representati...

Orbital apex syndrome (OPS) is determined by ophthalmoplegia, vision loss, and involvement of cranial nerves III, IV, VI, and the first branch of the trigeminal nerve. The disease is commonly caused by invasive fungal infections such as mucormycosis and aspergillosis in immunocompromised or immunocompetent patients. Rarely, herpes zoster virus may cause OPS. This report presents the case of a 4...
