2. 1. Eccentric correction in central visual field loss

   Author : Jörgen Gustafsson; Certec - Rehabiliteringsteknik och Design; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Synskador och blindhet; Optik och seende;

   Abstract : It is not often that one is instantaneously able to apply the results of basic research. This work is an example of such an exception. A widely held conviction has been that human peripheral vision could not be improved through optical correction. It w. READ MORE

4. 2. Optics for Low Vision Enabling

   Author : Jörgen Gustafsson; Certec - Rehabiliteringsteknik och Design; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Eccentric viewing; Low vision optics; Low vision rehabilitation; People with low vision; Preferred retinal; locus PRL ; Resolution; Visual acuity; Ophtalmology; Medicinsk teknik; Medical technology; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ; rehabilitation; revalidation; kinesitherapy; Oftalmologi; Physical medicine; Contrast sensitivity; Detection; Eccentric correction; CFL ; Central visual field loss; Central scotoma; Aberrations; Astigmatism;

   Abstract : For people with central visual field loss, eccentric vision is all that they have to rely on. Even for those who learn how to correctly utilize their eccentric vision, it will never be as good as the central for two entirely different reasons: the off-axis optics of the eye can result in large refractive errors, and the low function of the peripheral retina.

5. 3. Transverse Chromatic Aberration and Vision: Quantification and Impact across the Visual Field

   Author : Simon Winter; Linda Lundström; Stephen Burns; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; transverse chromatic aberration; lateral chromatic aberration; visual optics; peripheral vision; central vision; dispersion; ophthalmic optics and devices; optical effects on vision; retinal imaging; myopia; human eye; Fysik; Physics;

   Abstract : The eye is our window to the world. Human vision has therefore been extensively studied over the years. However, in-depth studies are often either limited to our central visual field, or, when extended to the periphery, only correct optical errors related to a narrow spectrum of light. READ MORE

6. 4. Vision Beyond the Fovea: Evaluation and Stimuli Properties

   Author : Abinaya Priya Venkataraman; Linda Lundström; Hema Radhakrishnan; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Peripheral vision; Visual optics; Optical correction; Orientation; Stimulus extent; Moving stimulus; Contrast sensitivity; Visual acuity; Central vision loss; Myopia; Biological Physics; Biologisk fysik;

   Abstract : This research is about evaluating vision in the periphery. Peripheral vision is of fundamental importance in the performance of our everyday activities. The aim of this thesis is to develop methods suitable for the evaluation of peripheral vision and to assess how different visual functions vary across the visual field. READ MORE

7. 5. Improving Peripheral Vision Through Optical Correction and Stimulus Motion

   Author : Peter Lewis; Peter Unsbo; Linda Lundström; Jörgen Gustafsson; Michael Crossland; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; absolute central scotoma; central visual field loss; eccentric viewing; preferred retinal locus; open-view aberrometer; off-axis refractive errors; eccentric correction; dynamic visual acuity; spatial contrast sensitivity; temporal contrast sensitivity; spatio-temporal contrast sensitivity; Optometry; Optometri; Biomedical Sciences; Biomedicinsk vetenskap;

   Abstract : The loss of central vision subsequent to macular disease is often extremely debilitating. People with central field loss (CFL) must use other peripheral areas of the retina in order to see; areas with inferior resolution capacity, which are also affected by off-axis optical errors.
