Crowding, generally defined as the deleterious influence of nearby contours on visual
discrimination, is ubiquitous in spatial vision. Crowding impairs the ability to recognize …

There is growing evidence that abnormal binocular interactions play a key role in amblyopia.
In particular, stronger suppression of the amblyopic eye has been associated with poorer …

Purpose: Adult brain plasticity, although possible, is often difficult to elicit. Training regimens
in adults can produce specific improvements on the trained task without leading to general …

This review aims to disentangle cause and effect in the relationship between anisometropia
and amblyopia. Specifically, we examine the literature for evidence to support different …

To evaluate the effects of perceptual learning on contrast-sensitivity function and visual
acuity in adult observers with amblyopia, 23 anisometropic amblyopes with a mean age of …

Visual sensitivity varies across the visual field in several characteristic ways. For example,
sensitivity declines sharply in peripheral (vs. foveal) vision and is typically worse in the …

Unilateral amblyopia is a visual disorder that arises after selective disruption of visual input
to one eye during critical periods of development. In the clinic, amblyopia is understood as …

Within the last five years, there have been a number of exciting new advances in our
knowledge and understanding of amblyopia. This article reviews recent psychophysical …

Task-specific improvement in performance after training is well established. The finding that
learning is stimulus-specific and does not transfer well between different stimuli, between …

Amblyopia is a developmental visual disorder of cortical origin, characterized by crowding
and poor acuity in central vision of the affected eye. Crowding refers to the adverse effects of …
