OBJECTIVE To compare binocularity in central and peripheral vision of people with early-onset strabismus and people with normal binocular vision. METHODS Ten subjects with early-onset strabismus, and nine subjects with normal binocular vision were tested. To assess binocularity, interocular transfer (IOT) of a rotary movement aftereffect (MAE) was measured. The MAE stimuli were either confined to the central 2.8 degrees of the visual field or were presented 10 degrees into peripheral vision. RESULTS In peripheral vision, there was no significant difference in IOT for the two groups of subjects. In central vision, there was a significant decrease of IOT in subjects with early-onset strabismus. Their IOT was, however, significantly greater than zero. CONCLUSIONS Early-onset strabismus appears to spare binocularity in peripheral vision but reduces it in central vision. It does not abolish binocularity assessed by IOT of MAE, suggesting that some binocular connections survive early-onset strabismus, even in central vision.

D008297 Male Males
D009039 Motion Perception The real or apparent movement of objects through the visual field. Movement Perception,Perception, Motion,Perception, Movement
D009068 Movement The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior. Movements
D012160 Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Ora Serrata
