    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuroscience
    • Visual Perception

    Background:

    • Strabismus, or eye misalignment, affects visual localization.
    • Understanding the mechanisms of visual localization in strabismic individuals is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of surgical eye rotation on visual localization in strabismic patients.
    • To test the predictions of the outflow theory of visual localization.

    Main Methods:

    • Strabismic patients performed monocular pointing tasks towards visual targets.
    • One eye underwent surgical rotation, and subsequent pointing responses were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Thirteen out of fourteen patients showed pointing responses shifted in the direction opposite to the surgical rotation.
    • Observed shifts largely aligned with predictions from the outflow theory.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical eye rotation significantly influences visual localization in strabismic patients.
    • The findings support the outflow theory of visual localization, with minor deviations explained by strabismic ambiguity.
