10 Days of Darkness Does Not Restore Neural or Visual Plasticity in Adult Cats
(2014-12-11)Recently it was demonstrated that 10-days of darkness could restore visual plasticity and promote fast and complete recovery from amblyopia in juvenile kittens (Duffy and Mitchell, 2013). To test whether 10-days of darkness ... -
Dark-rearing promotes drastic improvement of visual acuity in the amblyopic eye of lid-sutured kittens
(2013-04-05)This report extends findings (Duffy & Mitchell, 2013) of a dramatic recovery of vision in the deprived eye of amblyopic kittens following a short ‘dark-pulse’ (a 10 day period of darkness) to situations of clinical ... -
THE IMPACT OF OCCLUSION THERAPY AND PREDICTORS ON AMBLYOPIA DOSE-RESPONSE RELATIONSHIP AND SUCCESS OUTCOMES
(2021-05-28)Amblyopia is a decrease in visual acuity caused by abnormal binocular interaction or pattern vision deprivation in one or both eye(s) with no organic abnormalities which is reversible by therapeutic measures. Current ... -
IS THE RAPID VISUAL RECOVERY IN THE AMBLYOPIC EYE OF KITTENS FOLLOWING A SHORT PERIOD OF DARKNESS GUIDED BY VISUAL ACTIVITY IN THE NON-DEPRIVED EYE?
(2016-08-23)Recent study has shown that 10-days of complete darkness imposed 2-months after monocular deprivation in kittens can provoke full and rapid recovery of vision in the deprived eye without affecting the acuity of the fellow ... -
Radial Deformation Acuity In Children With Amblyopia
(2013-04-16)Purpose: To examine the relationship between visual acuity (VA) and radial deformation acuity (RDA) in children 6 to 12 years of age with amblyopia. Methods: RDA was measured in 35 participants with the Manchester RDA ... -
Susceptibility to monocular deprivation following immersion in darkness just prior to the critical period peak
(2017-08-08)Immersion of animals in complete darkness highlights that the maturation and plastic capacity of visual circuitry is regulated by visual experience. Recent investigations have shown that imposing 10-days of darkness exposure ...
