By 1985 newly devised behavioural and electrophysiological techniques had been used to
track development of infants' acuity, contrast sensitivity and binocularity, and for clinical …

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 …

The fine-tuning of circuits in sensory cortex requires sensory experience during an early
critical period. Visual deprivation during the critical period has catastrophic effects on visual …

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 …

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 …

PURPOSE: To examine macular and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness
in amblyopia. DESIGN: Population-based cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS: Of 4118 …

Introduction or background: With a prevalence of 2–5%, amblyopia is the most common
vision deficit in children in the UK and the second most common cause of functional low …

Purpose.: We investigated whether the sensory impairments of amblyopia are associated
with a decrease in eye position stability (PS). Methods.: The positions of both eyes were …

Experience-dependent plasticity is closely linked with the development of sensory function;
however, there is also growing evidence for plasticity in the adult visual system. This review …

Strabismus is a frequent ocular disorder that develops early in life in humans. As a general
rule, it is characterized by a misalignment of the visual axes which most often appears …
