Dynamic motion simulators cannot provide the same stimulation of sensory systems as real motion. Hence, only a subset human senses should be targeted. For providing vestibular stimulus, an automatic bodily function vestibular–ocular reflex (VOR) can objectively measure how accurate simulation is. This requires model ocular response to enforced accelerations, attempt create which is shown in thi...

PURPOSE To measure quantitatively the change in the coaxial fundus reflex with varying degrees of ocular misalignment. METHODS The coaxial fundus reflex was imaged with a charge coupled device camera under conditions of simulated ocular misalignment ranging from 0 degrees to 7 degrees of fixation eccentricity. The effects of refractive error and pupil size were controlled. Average gray scale ...

purpose: to assess foveal thickness by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (sd-oct) during acute anterior uveitis (aau) in hla–b27 patients. methods : foveal thickness was measured at baseline and after clinical resolution of the uveitis. data of the affected eyes of 11 patients were compared to those of a fellow, healthy eyes and to those of counterpart volunteers. results: at basel...

Dengue infection is epidemic but ocular complications of dengue are less reported. We report a case of dengueinfected patient with disturbing ocular symptoms. He was admitted for severe dengue. Subsequently, he presented with symptoms of bilateral central scotoma with metamorphosia. Fundus examination revealed cotton wool spots and flame-shaped haemorrhages at the macula, with dull foveal light...

A gaze-stabilization reflex that has been conserved throughout evolution is the rotational vestibuloocular reflex (RVOR), which keeps images stable on the entire retina during head rotation. An ethological newer reflex, the translational or linear VOR (TVOR), provides fast foveal image stabilization during linear motion. Whereas the sensorimotor processing has been extensively studied in the RV...

PURPOSE The purpose of this work was to describe the choroidal structure in patients with oculocutaneous albinism (OCA). METHODS 20 eyes of 10 patients with OCA and 14 eyes of 7 healthy controls were recruited for the study. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of the subjects were taken. The choroidal thickness (CT) was measured from the outer boarder of the retin...

aim: to report a patient with fundus flavimaculatus or macular dystrophy with flecks, who came to medical attention due to deteriorated vision in one eye and combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium. case presentation: a 26 year old lady was referred with history of progressive decreased vision in both eyes since childhood with recently deteriorated vision in her right ey...

Differences in visual capabilities are known to reflect differences in foraging behaviour even among closely related species. Among birds, the foraging of diurnal raptors is assumed to be guided mainly by vision but their foraging tactics include both scavenging upon immobile prey and the aerial pursuit of highly mobile prey. We studied how visual capabilities differ between two diurnal raptor ...

To report a case of bilateral isolated foveal hypoplasia in which multimodal imaging was used to confirm the diagnosis. Fundus autofluorescence imaging, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and fundus fluorescein angiography were used to describe the typical findings of a patient with isolated foveal hypoplasia. Spectral domain OCT showed absence of foveal depression and persistent inner retinal...
