Objective:
To observe the differences between anisometropic amblyopes and normal people when all of them were asked to discriminate those topological and non-topological pictures embedded in Gauss noises.
Methods:
Stimulus pictures (noise variance were 0.04, 0.08, 0.12 respectively) were run using Matlab software, the error ratios of identification of amblyopia groups and control groups were recorded.
Results:
The P-values of anisometropic amblyopes were 0.06 (closure pictures) and 0.088 (disclosure pictures) under the different experimental lasting time. No matter whenever the experimental lasting time and whatever the characteristics of the pictures, the error ratios of identification of amblyopia groups were higher than that of control groups, except for closure pictures at 5 s.
Conclusion:
The capabilities of amblyopes when discriminate the different pictures were lower than that of normal groups. We found that different outcomes of amblyopia groups were caused by their own perception defect.
