Measuring the Interocular Delay and its Link to Visual Acuity in Amblyopia.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Research on interocular synchronicity in amblyopia has demonstrated a deficit in synchronization (i.e., a neural processing delay) between the two eyes. Current methods for assessing interocular delay are either costly or ineffective for assessments in severe amblyopia. In this study, we adapted a novel protocol developed by Burge and Cormack based on continuous target tracking to measure the interocular delay on a wide range of amblyopes. Our main aims were to assess the accessibility of this protocol and to investigate the relationship between interocular delay and visual acuity.

Methods

This protocol, which consists of tracking a target undergoing random lateral motion with the mouse cursor, is performed both binocularly and monocularly. The processing speed of a
