Rapid Derivation of the Stiles-Crawford Function Using Electrophysiological Responses

Abstract

Since its discovery1, the Stiles-Crawford effect has been extensively investigated by means of psychophysical techniques2. Studies were motivated in part by possible application of the effect for the assessment of receptor function in patients. However, as yet, relatively little is known concerning changes of the Stiles-Crawford function in retinal pathology. This may be due to the fact that the psychophysical measurements are time consuming for the operator and demanding on the patient.
