Puntos clave

The study aims to explore how reductions in visual acuity affect sensitivity to blur in different groups of subjects.
Comparison of blur sensitivity in subjects with long-standing reduced visual acuity compared to those with induced reduced acuity.
Analysis of score distributions against a baseline of subjects with normal acuity.
A noticeable shift in blur sensitivity distributions was observed in both groups.
The second group, with induced reduced acuity, exhibited a greater shift in sensitivity compared to the first group.

Resumen

Abstract Sensitivity to blur was investigated in a group of subjects having long‐standing reduction of visual acuity, and in another group of subjects whose acuity was reduced for the purpose of the study. The distributions of scores was compared with those of a previous study of subjects with normal acuity. The reduction of acuity produced a shift in both distributions, the greater shift occurring in the second group.
