[Strabismus and pseudostrabismus (author's transl)].

R Pigassou-Albouy

    Archives D'Ophtalmologie
    |January 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Siamese cats possess well-developed binocular sensory-motor connections and do not exhibit strabismus. Common cats, however, show latent divergent strabismus (exophoria) with rudimentary sensory connections.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Ophthalmology
    • Comparative Neurology

    Context:

    • Clinical examination methods for strabismus in young children were adapted for feline subjects.
    • Studies focused on assessing binocular sensory-motor connections in cats.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the presence and characteristics of strabismus and binocular sensory-motor connections in Siamese and common cats.
    • To compare feline visual development with that observed in human infants.

    Summary:

    • Contrary to popular belief, Siamese cats demonstrated robust binocular sensory-motor connections without strabismus.
    • Common cats exhibited exophoria, a form of latent divergent strabismus, with less developed sensory connections.
    • Findings are based on clinical observations and require further experimental validation.

    Impact:

    • Challenges existing assumptions about Siamese cat vision.
    • Provides baseline data for feline visual development and potential strabismus research.
    • Highlights the need for experimental validation of clinical findings in animal models.
