Comparison of Depth-Related Visuomotor Task Performance in Uniocular Individuals and in Binocular Controls With and Without Temporary Monocular Occlusion.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Do one-eyed (uniocular) humans use monocular depth cues differently from those with intact binocularity to perform depth-related visuomotor tasks that emulate complex activities of daily living? If so, does performance depend on the participant's age, duration of uniocularity and head movements?

Methods

Forty-five uniocular cases (age range 6-37 years; 2.4 months-31.0 years of uniocularity) and 46 age-similar binocular controls performed a task that required them to pass a hoop around an electrified wire convoluted in depth multiple times, while avoiding contact as indicated by auditory feedback. The task was performed with and without head restraint, in random order. The error rate and speed were calculated from the frequency of contact between the hoop and wire and
