Visual Training – Sport Vision

Abstract Background Common paediatric perimetry techniques require central fixation and subjective responses, which may be challenging for young or cognitively impaired children. The Saccadic Vector Optokinetic Perimeter (SVOP) was designed to overcome these challenges by using infra‐red eye tracking to...

Abstract Background Visual impairment is globally among the most prevalent disabilities. Research concerning the health consequences of visual deficits is challenged by confounding effects of age, because visual impairment becomes more prevalent with age. This study investigates the influence of...

Abstract Reading is slow and difficult for people with central vision loss who must rely on their peripheral vision. It has been shown that practicing on a letter-recognition task can increase peripheral reading speed, and that the training-related improvement is...

Highlights • Playing a custom child friendly action videogame resulted in improved visual acuity. • Improvement of 1.4 lines after 20 h compared to more than 100 h of patching. • The action videogame approach may be an effective adjunct treatment for amblyopia....

Background To determine the test‐retest reproducibility of accommodative facility (AF) measures in an unselected sample of UK primary school children. Methods Using ±2.00 DS flippers and a viewing distance of 40 cm, AF was measured in 136 children (range 4–12 years, average...

SIGNIFICANCE Currently, treatments for amblyopia are occlusion or penalization of the stronger fellow eye. Fewer than 30% of patients improve stereoacuity using these treatments. In order to improve these outcomes, this group proposes a treatment to stimulate the stereoacuity through perceptual...

SIGNIFICANCE Prior studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of vergence-accommodative therapy in the treatment of convergence insufficiency (CI). These results show the changes in brain activation following therapy through the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). PURPOSE The purpose of this study...

Abstract This study investigated the influence of five days of moderate intensity aerobic exercise on the acquisition and consolidation of visual perceptual learning using a motion direction discrimination (MDD) task. The timing of exercise relative to learning was manipulated by...

Abstract Israeli Air Force (IAF) pilots continue flying combat missions after the symptoms of natural near-vision deterioration, termed presbyopia, begin to be noticeable. Because modern pilots rely on the displays of the aircraft control and performance instruments, near visual acuity...

Abstract Purpose To compare visual acuity (VA) improvement in teenagers with amblyopia treated with a binocular iPad game versus part-time patching. Methods One hundred participants aged 13 to <17 years (mean 14.3 years) with amblyopia (20/40 to 20/200, mean ∼20/63)...

Abstract Background Ocular dominance can be defined as the preference of an individual for viewing with one eye over the other for particular visual tasks. It is relevant to monovision contact lens wear, cataract surgery and sports vision. Clinically, the...

To compare Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey scores for required reading for school versus scores for leisure reading. Sorgente: Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey scores for required reading versus leisure reading in school-age children...
