| Description |
Amblyopia is a spatiotemporal visual impairment caused by abnormal visual experience early in development. Recent studies have shown that amblyopia impacts visuomotor behaviors in addition to impairing sensory functions. Here we investigate the effects of anisometropic amblyopia on smooth pursuit eye movements responsible for accurately maintaining moving objects on the fovea. We hypothesize that given the visual processing delays in amblyopia there will be a significant delay in the initiation of pursuit in patients during amblyopic eye viewing. |
