ABSTRACT
Interocular suppression is commonly estimated by the contrast "balance point" between the eyes in individuals with amblyopia, in which the depth of suppression is defined as the increased contrast in the amblyopic eye that is perceptually matched to the fellow eye. However, this method may not be suitable for individuals with strabismus who have normal or even better contrast sensitivity in the non-fixating eye. In this study, I introduced a new approach that can be used for measuring interocular suppression for both amblyopia and strabismus without balancing contrasts between the eyes. The method consists of the following components â¢The stimuli have equal contrasts in both eyes.â¢The percepts of objects seen monocularly and binocularly are compared.â¢Interocular suppression is defined as the percept of object in the amblyopic eye is suppressed when an object is presented in the fellow eye.
