Description |
Central acuity is the most important and most familiar measurement of visual function. The fine degree of spatial resolution measured by Snellen acuity (better than 1 minute of arc).is the result of numerous anatomic specializations. But what accounts for the other standard measures of vision? For instance, what are the mechanisms that account for motion detection, or contrast sensitivity? In this talk I will describe some aspects of retinal anatomy and physiology that form the substrate for certain visual functions. |
