Abstract EN
Strabismic amblyopia “blunt vision” is a developmental anomaly that affects binocular vision and results in lowered visual acuity.
Strabismus is a term for a misalignment of the visual axes and is usually characterized by impaired ability of the strabismic eye to take up fixation.
Such impaired fixation is usually a function of the temporally and spatially impaired binocular eye movements that normally underlie binocular shifts in visual attention.
In this review, we discuss how abnormal eye movement function in children with misaligned eyes influences the development of normal binocular visual attention and results in deficits in visual function such as depth perception.
We also discuss how eye movement function deficits in adult amblyopia patients can also lead to other abnormalities in visual perception.
Finally, we examine how the nonamblyopic eye of an amblyope is also affected in strabismic amblyopia.
