CONTOUR INTEGRATION IN ANISOMETROPIC AMBLYOPIA

Contour integration was measured in a group of anisometropic amblyopes to test the idea recently put forward that positional uncertainty set s a fundamental limit to contour integration in amblyopia, Anisometrop ic amblyopia, unlike strabismic amblyopia, has little or no positional uncertainty once the initial filtering loss has been taken into accou nt, Therefore, according to the explanation put forward to explain str abismic amblyopia, anisometropes should exhibit normal contour integra tion, We show that this expectation is realized for five of our six an isometropic amblyopes.
