Amblyopia is a neuro-developmental disorder of the visual cortex that arises from abnormal
visual experience early in life. Amblyopia is clinically important because it is a major cause …

Recent work has transformed our ideas about the neural mechanisms, behavioral
consequences and effective therapies for amblyopia. Since the 1700′ s, the clinical …

The gold-standard treatment for childhood amblyopia remains patching or penalizing the
fellow eye, resulting in an average of about a one line (0.1 logMAR) improvement in visual …

Abstract Research in the Visual Development Unit on “dorsal stream vulnerability'(DSV)
arose from research in two somewhat different areas. In the first, using cortical milestones for …

The development of visual function takes place over many months or years in primate
infants. Visual sensitivity is very poor near birth and improves over different times courses for …

Purpose: In order to better understand whether white matter structural deficits are present in
strabismic amblyopia, we performed a survey of the tissue properties of 28 major white …

Amblyopia is an acquired defect due to a lack of visual stimulation. Self-efficacy is one of the
factors affecting the quality of life (QoL) of individuals. Low self-efficacy can decrease …

Amblyopia is a developmental disorder resulting in poor vision in one eye. The mechanism
by which input to the affected eye is prevented from reaching the level of awareness remains …

In amblyopia, abnormal visual experience during development leads to an enduring loss of
visual acuity in adulthood. Physiological studies in animal models suggest that intracortical …

Study of the neural deficits caused by mismatched binocular vision in early childhood has
predominantly focused on circuits in the primary visual cortex (V1). Recent evidence has …
