Driving with Central Visual Field Loss II: How Scotomas above or below the Preferred Retinal Locus (PRL) Affect Hazard Detection in a Driving Simulator
Bronstad, P. Matthew; Albu, Amanda; Bowers, Alex R.; Goldstein, Robert; Peli, Eli (Public Library of Science, 2015)We determined whether binocular central scotomas above or below the preferred retinal locus affect detection of hazards (pedestrians) approaching from the side. Seven participants with central field loss (CFL), and seven ... -
A Pilot Study of Perceptual-Motor Training for Peripheral Prisms
Houston, Kevin E.; Bowers, Alex R.; Fu, Xianping; Liu, Rui; Goldstein, Robert B.; Churchill, Jeff; Wiegand, Jean-Paul; Soo, Tim; Tang, Qu; Peli, Eli (The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2016)Purpose Peripheral prisms (p-prisms) shift peripheral portions of the visual field of one eye, providing visual field expansion for patients with hemianopia. However, patients rarely show adaption to the shift, incorrectly ... -
Visual Attention Measures Predict Pedestrian Detection in Central Field Loss: A Pilot Study
Alberti, Concetta F.; Horowitz, Todd; Bronstad, P. Matthew; Bowers, Alex R. (Public Library of Science, 2014)Purpose The ability of visually impaired people to deploy attention effectively to maximize use of their residual vision in dynamic situations is fundamental to safe mobility. We conducted a pilot study to evaluate whether ...
