Perceptual distortion is a key yet under-recognized feature of amblyopia that extends beyond visual acuity loss and impacts binocular vision. While various forms of distortion have been reported, discrepancies across studies may reflect the narrow focus on single stimuli or distortion types. We argue for a more comprehensive approach to studying distortion—through mapping and multi-feature assessment—as a potentially informative framework for future diagnostic and treatment-related applications, as well as for understanding the neural basis of amblyopia.
Molaei et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
