The aim is to assess visual acuity in eccentrically fixating amblyopes and identify contributing components to their acuity loss.
Measured visual acuity in amblyopic subjects using auditory feedback.
Examined responses to flashed and continuously presented targets at different eccentricities.
Analyzed maximum acuity at the fovea compared to peripheral regions.
Maximum visual acuity was at the fovea, declining symmetrically into nasal and temporal periphery.
Amblyopic eyes exhibited lower foveal acuity than normal eyes.
Acuity loss has a greater sensory component for slight eccentric fixation and a greater motor component for substantial eccentric fixation.
