The visual expertise of adult humans is jointly determined by evolution, visual development
and visual perceptual learning. Perceptual learning refers to performance improvements in …

Purpose The purpose of this review is to provide an update on current management and
recent research for amblyopia treatment. Part I will review patching, atropine penalization …

Amblyopia is a visual impairment secondary to abnormal visual experience (eg, strabismus,
anisometropia, form deprivation) during early childhood that cannot be corrected …

Purpose.: The purpose of the present study was to explore the potential for treating
childhood amblyopia with a binocular stimulus designed to correlate the visual input from …

Purpose.: New behavioral treatment methods, including dichoptic training, perceptual
learning, and video gaming, have been proposed to improve visual function in adult …

Experience-dependent plasticity is closely linked with the development of sensory function.
Beyond this sensitive period, developmental plasticity is actively limited; however, new …

Citation information: Astle AT, Webb BS & McGraw PV. Can perceptual learning be used to
treat amblyopia beyond the critical period of visual development? Ophthalmic Physiol Opt …

Purpose.: We investigated whether perceptual learning in adults with amblyopia could be
enabled to transfer completely to an orthogonal orientation, which would suggest that …

Monocular perceptual learning has shown promising performance in restoring visual
function in amblyopes beyond the critical period in the laboratory. However, the treatment …

Re-establishing normal binocular visual processing is the key to amblyopia recovery beyond
the critical period of visual development. Here, by combining perceptual learning, behavioral …
