Assessment of Stimulus Field Size for Strabismic Amblyopes

Key Points

To examine how field size affects visual loss in individuals with strabismic amblyopia.
Conducted an experiment with 4 strabismic amblyopes.
Measured visual performance at low- and high-frequency levels.
Assessed both normal and amblyopic eyes under varying grating field sizes.
Found equal effects of field size on both normal and amblyopic eyes.
Determined foveas of amblyopes did not outperform eccentric areas for high-frequency discrimination.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Recently, small‐screen measurements have suggested different types of visual loss in strabismic amblyopia. The present experiment examined the influence of field size on this conclusion for low‐ and high‐frequency measurements. The original findings are believed to be independent of the grating field size, because (1) in the present study of 4 amblyopes, normal and amblyopic eyes were affected equally by increasing the number of cycles, and (2) the amblyopes' foveas did not have high‐frequency discrimination superior to that of the eccentric area used for fixation.
