PURPOSE To investigate the association between binocular function and vision after cataract removal and primary posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC-IOL) implantation in children with unilateral cataract and to identify visual function differences according cataract type. METHODS Clinical records of 2- to 6-year-old patients with unilateral cataract removal and primary PC-IOL implantation w...

Measurement of Stereopsis forms an important part of the clinical assessment of patients with disorders of ocular motility. The introduction of a real depth distance stereoacuity test (FD2) was evaluated in clinical practice and to what extent the introduction affected clinical management. Seventy-three patients under evaluation before and following the introduction of the test were included. C...

PURPOSE Falls are a serious and preventable problem in older adults. Impaired vision has been linked to risk of falls; however, the impact of deficits in specific components of vision on the risk of falls is not well known. METHODS Data on falls for up to 20 months were provided by 2375 individuals participating in the Salisbury Eye Evaluation (SEE). Visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, visua...

A question of increasing interest to the basic science and clinical management communities during the past decade is whether children and adults with amblyopia and associated binocular visual abnormalities experience difficulties in executing real-world actions, to which vision normally makes an important functional contribution. Here we provide objective evidence that they do, by reviewing qua...

This perspective article makes the case for evaluating and training peripheral stereopsis, particularly when central visual field is compromised in one or both eyes. Examples of clinical conditions that preferentially affect include macular degeneration, which affects region eyes, amblyopia where often affected eye, but largely intact. While binocular acuity may be preserved monocular eye affec...

In order to assess vision in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related disorders, gerontologists must use tests that make minimal cognitive demands on the subject. Using such tests, we have found a pattern of deficits in color discrimination, stereoacuity, contrast sensitivity, and backward masking that differs from that seen in healthy elderly individuals. Impaired vision predicts deficient perform...
