Description |
It has been suggested that ocular dominance column (ODC) shrinkage may be a neuronal mechanism to account for the elevated contrast required by the ambylopic eye to detect a visual target. However, this does not explain the observation that the amblyopic eye perceives contrast as being the same as that perceived by the fellow eye when contrast is well above this detection threshold. |
