Summary: The study evaluated the reliability of the Bagolini filter bar and striated lenses for measuring fusion maintenance scores in intermittent exotropia patients. Results showed a good intra-class correlation coefficient of the fusion maintenance score, which was significantly associated with distance and near office control scores.

Summary: In patients with intermittent exotropia, occlusion of both eyes reveals a state of alignment different from orthotropia, demonstrating that the deviation angle is actively mediated by visual feedback, which the fixating eye is capable of providing alone.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of congenital ptosis on binocular function in patients with intermittent exotropia (IXT). The results showed that patients with IXT and ptosis had worse distance stereoacuity and a higher proportion of suppression on the Bagolini test compared to patients with IXT only.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed ocular motor findings in 84 patients with anti-GQ1b antibody-associated ophthalmoplegia and found that 13% of patients showed acute comitant strabismus. Patients with acute comitant strabismus frequently exhibited abnormal ocular motor findings, suggesting that the cerebellum and/or brainstem may be the primary targets of anti-GQ1b antibodies.

Summary: The study demonstrates a method to quantify the depth of unbalanced interocular suppression by balancing the interocular luminance differences, which can be applied in children with intermittent exotropia (IXT) to provide a quantitative assessment of interocular suppression and its association with the clinical characteristics of IXT.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the impact of moderate intermittent exotropia (IXT) on myopic progression in school-aged children and the effects of IXT surgery. The results showed that moderate IXT may slow down the progression of myopia in school-aged children, but the effects of IXT surgery on myopic progression still need further investigation.

Summary: The study demonstrates that binocular function significantly improves in adolescents with IXT after successful corrective surgery and continues to improve over time. However, there is no significant correlation between binocular functions at 1 month postoperatively and ocular alignment stability.

Summary: The Korean Intermittent Exotropia Multicenter Study (KIEMS) involved 65 strabismus specialists from 53 institutions in Korea and aimed to present ophthalmologic findings of intermittent exotropia. A total of 5385 participants were included, and the study collected data on visual acuity, refraction, deviation angles, ocular dominance, fusion control, muscle function, and sensory outcomes. The study found that intermittent exotropia is mostly diagnosed in childhood and patients generally have good binocular functions.

Summary: Electrophysiological recordings in awake monkeys raised with strabismus show that individuals with acquired childhood strabismus can prevent diplopia, but visual neurons in the primary visual cortex do not appear to reflect suppression, suggesting that the elimination of double vision may occur at a higher cortical level.

Summary: The study found that visual scene perception is shared by both eyes in hemianopia and exotropia, and suppression only occurs in the peripheral temporal retina of the eye contralateral to the brain lesion.

Summary: This study explores the usefulness of eye tracking glasses in measuring the occurrence of exotropia in patients with intermittent exotropia. The study used eye tracking glasses to monitor the vergence angle in 44 patients, and found that 31 patients had intermittent exotropia with an average exotropia angle of 19.3 degrees and an average occurrence rate of 40%.

Summary: Motion discrimination of large stimuli is impaired at high contrast and short durations, potentially linked to center-surround suppression in neurons of area MT. Physiology results indicate that surround suppression strength is higher under binocular viewing than monocular viewing, suggesting potential involvement of MT neurons in surround suppression.

Summary: During smooth pursuit eye movements, repeatedly exposing observers to background motion with a fixed direction relative to the pursued target can lead to a shift in their point of subjective stationarity (PSS), reflecting a recalibration of the reference signal in response to prevailing retinal motion during pursuit. This recalibration effect is specific to the exposed visual hemifield.

Summary: The article presents a study on determining absolute and differential vibrotactile thresholds in different areas of the torso to develop reliable haptic patterns for enhancing user performance in human-machine interaction systems. Results suggest the possibility of setting a unique minimum vibration for creating haptic patterns and estimating upper or lower differential thresholds using a K-value.

Summary: Most animals have some degree of binocular overlap, which raises the question of integrating information from two different perspectives into a coherent whole. Binocular vision offers advantages such as increased ability to see around obstacles and enhanced contrast sensitivity. Studying stereopsis in different animals provides insights into the various forms of stereopsis beyond human vision.

Summary: This study proposes a simple computational model to describe the prey capture response in praying mantises. The model, based on behavioral observations and neurophysiological data, is able to qualitatively reproduce unexplained characteristics of the training data and predict key observations in additional empirical data. This is the first image-computable model of insect stereopsis and reproduces key features of both neurophysiology and striking behavior.

Summary: Recent research shows that there are no significant differences between males and females in contrast and duration thresholds for motion discrimination, contradicting previous studies. While males have been found to have lower duration thresholds for motion direction discrimination, the association between sex and contrast and duration thresholds is generally not significant. Only one out of four studies revealed different duration thresholds between males and females, supporting previous results.

Summary: Recent developments in AI and machine learning have made it possible to use 3D scans of the retina for screening and early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. The value of such screening depends not only on scientific metrics but also on public attitudes and acceptance. This literature review examines various factors that may affect the uptake of early screening tools for neurodegenerative diseases using AI, and identifies ethnicity, social influence, the use of AI, and previous screening experience as the strongest predictors.
