Vision training program for myopia management.

Abstract

The use of vision training to stabilize myopia appears to be helpful for many patients, while remaining ineffective for others. The myopia management approach discussed here includes minimum use of full-powered concave corrective lenses, maximum use of convex training glasses, adherence to specific visual hygiene and visuobehavioral guidelines, and a short intense program of home and office visual training procedures aimed at developing more flexible accommodative convergence (CCA) and visuobehavioral responses.

Families of stationary patterns producing illusory movement: insights into the visual system.

A computational explanation of the illusory movement experienced upon extended viewing of Enigma, a static figure painted by Leviant, is presented. The explanation relies on a model for the interpretation of three-dimensional motion information contained in retinal motion measurements. This model shows that the Enigma figure is a special case of a larger class of figures exhibiting the same illusory movement and these figures are introduced here. Our explanation suggests that eye movements and/or accommodation changes cause weak retinal motion signals, which are interpreted by higher-level processes in a way that gives rise to these illusions, and proposes a number of new experiments to unravel the functional structure of the motion pathway.
