Abstract
Our eyes move constantly to search for and inspect objects of interest, to track moving objects, to read along a line of text and to prevent image fading. However, persons with amblyopia (PWA), in addition to a broad array of visual deficits, have abnormal eye movements. This review briefly describes the types of eye movements deficits in persons with amblyopia and how they are measured. We then go on to discuss what is known about how abnormal eye movements in persons with amblyopia affect their vision. Finally, we ask whether the abnormal eye movements are amenable to amblyopia treatment and whether they can be used to diagnose/classify amblyopia.
期刊介绍:
Vision Research is a journal devoted to the functional aspects of human, vertebrate and invertebrate vision and publishes experimental and observational studies, reviews, and theoretical and computational analyses. Vision Research also publishes clinical studies relevant to normal visual function and basic research relevant to visual dysfunction or its clinical investigation. Functional aspects of vision is interpreted broadly, ranging from molecular and cellular function to perception and behavior. Detailed descriptions are encouraged but enough introductory background should be included for non-specialists. Theoretical and computational papers should give a sense of order to the facts or point to new verifiable observations. Papers dealing with questions in the history of vision science should stress the development of ideas in the field.
