Contribution of stereopsis, vergence, and accommodative function to the performance of a precision grasping and placement task in typically developing children age 8–14 years
2020, Human Movement ScienceCitation Excerpt :The motor aspect of binocular vision is horizontal fusional vergence, which refers to convergent and divergent eye movements to fixate stimuli that are at different distances in depth (Howard & Rogers, 2002). Fusional vergence develops postnatally at approximately 3 months of age (Aslin, 1977; Bharadwaj & Candy, 2008), and is stimulated by a retinal disparity between the two eyes, in order to achieve single binocular vision. Although the gain, peak velocity, and duration of vergence movements are similar to adults by 4 years of age (Yang & Kapoula, 2004), the latency of vergence response continues to improve, and becomes adult-like around the age of 10–12 years (Yang, Bucci, & Kapoula, 2002).
Different surgical outcomes in infantile exotropia according to onset time
2019, Journal of AAPOSEarly versus late surgery for infantile exotropia
2018, Journal of AAPOSCitation Excerpt :In the current study, however, early surgeries were associated with better results in infantile exotropia, especially for patients with constant exotropia. Primary infantile exotropia, which is likely to be expressed as a constant deviation,10 reflects deficient development of the convergence system during the early vulnerable period of life and disruption of normal binocular processing in the visual cortex16,17; it differs from childhood intermittent exotropia in terms of etiology. Earlier surgery may offer more chance for restoration of binocular vision in children with infantile constant exotropia.
Vergence driven accommodation with simulated disparity in myopia and emmetropia
2018, Experimental Eye ResearchCitation Excerpt :The human visual system undergoes development into adulthood (Aslin, 1977; Banks, 1980; Fioravanti et al., 1995; Haynes et al., 1965; Yang and Kapoula, 2003).
Contribution of binocular vision to the performance of complex manipulation tasks in 5-13 years old visually-normal children
2016, Human Movement ScienceCitation Excerpt :Visually-normal preschool children (3–6 years old) attain a stereoacuity threshold between 60–120 s of arc (Afsari et al., 2013; Ciner et al., 2014), and achieve adult levels (i.e., <10 s of arc) later than 14 years of age (Giaschi, Narasimhan, Solski, Harrison, & Wilcox, 2013). Ocular vergence also emerges during the first few weeks after birth and continues to develop during childhood (Aslin, 1977; Bharadwaj & Candy, 2008; Horwood & Riddell, 2013; Yang, Bucci, & Kapoula, 2002; Yang & Kapoula, 2004). Infants at 6 months of age are capable of executing convergent eye movement to re-fixate the target upon introduction of 5 and 10 diopter base-in prisms (Aslin, 1977).
