Twenty-seven observers performed intensive visual search tasks with curved and flat monitors. Based on a 22-item eyestrain questionnaire, fewer subjects reported eyestrain, difficulty-tofocus and blurred-vision symptoms with a curved monitor than with a flat monitor. Fewer subjects had reduced saccade peak speed following the curved monitor use. Author

Augmented-vision devices that we are developing to aid people with low vision (impaired vision) employ vision multiplexing- the simultaneous presentation of two different views to one or both eyes. This approach enables compensation for vision deficits without depriving the wearers of their normal views of the scene. Ideally, wearers would make use of the simultaneous views to alert them to pot...

PURPOSE To our knowledge, studies comparing binocular eye movements during reading task in strabismic children are scarce. The goal of our study was to examine binocular coordination of saccades during reading in strabismic children. METHODS Binocular eye movements were recorded by an infrared system (mobile EBT) in 18 strabismic children 6.8 to 16 years old (mean age 10.2 ± 3) who were asked...

BACKGROUND/AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the potential correlation between clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with retinoblastoma (Rb). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 314 Rb patients. Clinical data including laterality of eyes, sex, age, presenting signs, lag time, and survival were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS Leukocoria is the most...

In individuals with abnormal binocular vision, such as strabismics and anisometropes, it is common for all or part of one eye's view to be suppressed so binocular confusion and diplopia are eliminated. We examined the relation between the depth of suppression (the amount by which the monocular contrast increment threshold for an eye was elevated by stimulation in the contralateral eye) and the ...

Binocular vision is obviously useful for depth perception, but it might also enhance other components of visual processing, such as image segmentation. We used naturalistic images to determine whether giving an object a stereoscopic offset of 15-120 arcmin of crossed disparity relative to its background would make the object easier to recognize in briefly presented (33-133 ms), temporally maske...

A comparison was made between results obtained through the Titmus Vision Tester and those obtained through more common open field optometric procedures. Specific tests performed with the Titmus Vision Tester included near and distance visual acuities, distance lateral and vertical phorias, color discrimination, and stereo acuity. Results were also obtained using Snellen near and distance charts...

Despite the development of experimental methods capable of measuring early human color vision, we still lack a procedure comparable to those used to diagnose the well-identified congenital and acquired color vision anomalies in older children, adults, and clinical patients. In this study, we modified a pseudoisochromatic test to make it more suitable for young infants. Using a forced choice pre...

The fusion of data provided by different sources of knowledge produces sensor systems showing higher robustness, signal to noise ratio, and adaptability. In the context of machine vision, a system can be designed as a group of indipendent visual modules acting as individual knowledge sources. An integration scheme is then needed to obtain a fused output. This text is a tutorial intended as an i...

purpose: to report a case of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (aion) after ingestion of tadalafil (a drug for management of erectile dysfunction). patient and findings: a healthy 26-year-old male was referred due to loss of vision and visual field defect in his left eye a few days after using tadalafil. visual loss was progressive during the following days. examination revealed disc swelling ...
