(14) 270 children of the "Blindeninstituts-stiftung Würzburg" were followed up between 1960 and 1987. ad 1) Optic atrophy was the leading cause of visual impairment (24%) followed by cataract and retinopathy of prematurity (both found in 17%), malformations of the anterior segment (12%), cortical amblyopia (8%) and refractive error (6%).
(15) All the cases of squint and amblyopia referred to both hospital and school clinics in one district during one calendar year have been reviewed in order to clarify when, where, and how these cases first present to the ophthalmologist.
(16) The most important squints to diagnose are the concomitant squints of childhood as they can lead to amblyopia, which is irreversible after the age of ten years.
(17) Twenty-seven children with anisometropic amblyopia and four children without amblyopia participated.
(18) Furthermore, the vision of the other eye is often reduced as well, with the result that the eventual outcome is a condition of bilateral amblyopia.
(19) The reduced visual acuities in one case appeared to be caused at least partly by astigmatism and the associated astigmatic amblyopia.
(20) The Titmus stereotest was found to be an effective means of screening for amblyopia.
Amblyopic
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to amblyopy.
Example Sentences:
(1) If aberrations contribute significantly to the decreased visual function of strabismic amblyopic eyes, one would predict that (1) the pupil size for optimum resolution should be smaller in the amblyopic than in the normal eyes, (2) increasing target contrast by a constant ratio should not compensate for defocus of an amblyopic eye, and (3) the contrast sensitivity of the amblyopic eye should improve when tested with a stimulus that bypasses the eye's optics.
(2) Dark adaptation curves were determined for an amblyopic and a normal control subject following a variety of preadaptation conditions.
(3) We investigated the possibility that the spatial imprecision of amblyopic eyes can be accounted for by the relative insensitivity to contrast that has been documented for these eyes.
(4) Visual evoked potentials, like forced preferential looking, may grossly overestimate the acuity of the amblyopic patient.
(5) Increased saccadic latencies were observed in the amblyopic eyes of 6 of 11 subjects, with or without strabismus; saccadic latencies were similar in each eye of 2 subjects having intermittent strabismus without amblyopia.
(6) For the first time two cases are described with disturbances of binocular vision caused by subjective perception of positive scotomata in the amblyopic eye.
(7) Contrast (modulation) sensitivities for gratings of various spatial frequencies and orientations have been determined for meridional amblyopes.
(8) The elevation of the contrast threshold found in both amblyopic and non-amblyopic eyes of the anisometropes reflects the relative strength of the binocular inhibition mechanism present.
(9) Records of horizontal components of unsteady fixation by amblyopic eyes were characterized by abnormally large saccades and a nasalward bias for slow drifts.
(10) In the absence of saccades, amblyopic eyes continued to fixate eccentrically, using slow drifting movements.
(11) Phenomena related to nystagmus include: amblyopic, voluntary, and convergence-retraction nystagmus, ocular dysmetria, ocular flutter, opsoclonus, ocular bobbing, and ocular myoclonus.
(12) Successful treatment of some of these children means that 1.9% will remain amblyopic as adults.
(13) Previous experiments that have compared monocular vernier acuity in amblyopic, monocularly blind, and normal binocular subjects have been confined to the center of the retina.
(14) The vision of the amblyopic eye was also improved when an appropriate prism was held in front of either eye.
(15) In comparison with a control group of normal subjects, spatial modulation sensitivity function of the amblyopes was markedly impaired in each experimental condition, i.e.
(16) In general, pursuit gains were higher for nasalward than temporalward motion, for both amblyopic and nonamblyopic eyes.
(17) The latency of wave a was also delayed in some severe amblyopes.
(18) Spatio-temporal contrast sensitivities to horizontally-oriented Gaussian-weighted patches of sinusoidal grating stimuli were determined across the nasal and temporal visual fields of strabismic and non-strabismic, anisometropic amblyopes.
(19) In one child initial visual-evoked potential testing incorrectly identified the amblyopic eye but repeat testing did identify it.
(20) This larger discrepancy is attributed to increased probability summation of amblyopic eyes for low spatial frequencies.
