OBJECTIVE This review examines generic preference-based measures and their ability to reflect health-related quality of life in patients with visual disorders. METHODS A systematic search was undertaken to identify clinical studies of patients with visual disorders where health state utility values were measured and reported. Data were extracted to assess the validity and responsiveness of th...

By 1985 newly devised behavioral and electrophysiological techniques had been used to track development of infants' acuity, contrast sensitivity and binocularity, and for clinical evaluation of developing visual function. This review focus on advances in the development and assessment of infant vision in the following 25 years. Infants' visual cortical function has been studied through selectiv...

Purpose: Postural balance deficit is one of the common post-stroke disabilities. Providing visual biofeedback while balance activities are performed is a way to improve postural balance disorders following stroke. But among the research published, there is incoherency about the positive effects of visual biofeedback therapy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of usin...

The accurate integration of audio-visual emotion cues is critical for social interactions and requires efficient processing of facial cues. Gaze behavior of typically developing (TD) individuals and individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) was measured via eyetracking during the perception of dynamic audio-visual emotion (DAVE) stimuli. This study provides information about the regions ...

Hydrocephalus in children has many aetiologies, and can cause multiple ophthalmic and visual disorders. This study sets out to detect and quantify visual and visuoperceptual dysfunction in children who have received surgical treatment for hydrocephalus with and without myelomeningocele, and to relate the results to the associated diagnoses and results from a comparison group. Seventy-five schoo...

The Dissociative Identity Disorder – Trait Mapper (DID-TM) is a system for use by clinicians and researchers in the treatment and study of dissociative disorders. In these disorders, individuals manifest multiple identities that must be understood and tracked through treatment. The system’s visual representations assist the user in gaining insight into the structures of personalities, patterns ...

Research into the development of visual functions, especially during the last three decades, has produced strong evidence in favour of early treatment of visual disorders (Lyle and Foley, 1957, Sauberli, I962). The most important and most damaging of these disorders are amblyopia, eccentric fixation, and anomalous retinal correspondence. The aim of the present investigation was to design a test...
