  • It may be due to a disorder of a part of the brain controlling eye movements or it may be caused by weak eye muscles, heredity, cataract and nerve conditions. (ambayeye.com)
  • In a working environment that is arguably the most dangerous of any current profession, image intensification and thermal imaging have extended the normal perceptual capabilities of the soldier and allowed vision to operate in conditions in which the unaided eye would be ineffective.

  • Therefore, impaired AME fixational stability could not be explained on the basis of reduced VA. Experiment-II The objective of Experiment - II was to study whether is there any advantage of binocular fixation over monocular fixation and if there is any advantage, whether is it noted at all contrast levels. (uwaterloo.ca)
  • The results showed that the fixational stability was significantly improved during binocular fixation compared to monocular fixation for all contrast levels. (uwaterloo.ca)
  • Image from each eye is superimposed on each other in occipital cortex to obtain binocular single vision. (optography.org)
  • Accommodative convergence is convergence of the eyes stimulated by accommodating or focusing on a near target. (medscape.com)
  • Accommodative Infacility - a clinical condition in which the individual has difficulty changing eye focus from distance to near. (retinalaser.com)
  • 27. Should the presence of emboli in the eye found on a routine exam prompt a workup for their source? (stanford.edu)
  • Objective The relationship between retinal structure and function of glaucomatous eyes has attracted a great deal of research attention. (bmj.com)
  • The locus of object points in space that stimulate corresponding retinal points of the two eyes when the eyes are fixating binocularly one of these object points. (optography.org)
  • Individuals with long eyes were found to use a larger retinal area during fixation compared to short-eyed individuals. (heraldopenaccess.us)
  • The retinal area covered by the microsaccadic and drift movements during fixation has been shown to vary substantially in both normal test persons [11-12] and in patients with macular disease. (heraldopenaccess.us)
  • In patients with macular disease, a large fixation area may be due to two or more separated preferred retinal loci of fixation and/or increased microsaccadic amplitudes [13-16]. (heraldopenaccess.us)
  • in 2014 showed that dyslexic children have a significantly longer latency during binocular movements, a mean speed compared to non dyslexic children (Tiadi, Seassau, Bui-Quoc, Gerard, & Bucci, 2014) . (scirp.org)
  • Fixation target contrast was varied from 0% to 100% while control participants fixated monocularly (fellow eye occluded) and binocularly. (uwaterloo.ca)
  • However, when occurring involuntarily, it results in impaired function of the extraocular muscles, where both eyes are still functional, but they cannot turn to target the desired object. (optography.org)
  • Furthermore, when the target was at fixation depth, crowding was generally more pronounced when the flankers were behind the target as opposed to in front of it. (elifesciences.org)
  • However, when the flankers were at fixation depth, crowding was generally more pronounced when the target was behind the flankers. (elifesciences.org)
  • When presented with two different-sized targets at the same distance, both monocular and intact subjects usually preferred the larger target within a 1°-10° range, even though monocular animals chose the larger object less consistently. (biologists.com)
  • Monocular bulldog ants snapped at the same mean target distance as binocular animals, although only 14% of the ants tested responded when one eye was occluded ( Via, 1977 ). (biologists.com)
  • It is clear can be to me that our eyes can independantly move relative to each other in order to fixate on a target. (optometryforums.com)
  • We used a novel Vergence double-step (Vd-s) protocol: the target stepped to a second position before the vergence movement completion. (arvojournals.org)
