RESUMO

SIGNIFICANCE: High-contrast acuity in individuals with infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) is poorer than expected from their ongoing retinal image motion, indicating a sensory loss. Conversely, acuity for larger low-contrast letters in these observers may be limited by image motion alone. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess visual acuity for letters of different contrast in normal observers and individuals with idiopathic INS under conditions of comparable retinal image motion. METHODS: Visual acuity was measured using projected Landolt C charts in 3 normal observers and 11 observers with presumed idiopathic INS. Normal observers viewed each chart after reflection from a front-surface mirror that underwent continuous 4-Hz ramp motion with amplitudes ranging from 4 to 9.6° and simulated foveation durations of 20 to 80 milliseconds. Observers with INS viewed the charts directly. By reciprocally varying the luminance of the projected charts and a superimposed veiling source, Landolt C's were presented on a background luminance of 43 cd/m2 with Weber contrasts between -12 and -89%. RESULTS: Whereas normal observers' high-contrast acuity during imposed image motion depends only on the duration of the simulated foveation periods, acuity for low-contrast optotypes also worsens systematically as motion intensity (frequency × amplitude) increases. For comparable parameters of retinal image motion, high-contrast acuity in all but one of the observers with INS was poorer than in normal observers. On the other hand, low-contrast acuity in the two groups of observers was similar when the retinal image motion was comparable. CONCLUSIONS: Reduced high-contrast acuity in observers with INS appears to be attributable primarily to a sensory deficit. On the other hand, the reduction of low-contrast acuity in observers with INS may be accounted for on the basis of retinal image motion.
