    Cone spacing in primate retinas increases with eccentricity, impacting visual acuity. The sampling theorem, using average cone spacing, accurately predicts visual limits up to 5 degrees using a new aliasing technique.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuroscience
    • Visual Science

    Background:

    • Cone photoreceptors form the mosaic responsible for high-acuity vision.
    • Understanding cone distribution is crucial for predicting visual performance across the retina.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify cone spacing and lattice disorder in primate retina from fovea to 5.75 degrees eccentricity.
    • To evaluate the predictive power of cone spacing for visual acuity and Nyquist limits.

    Main Methods:

    • Digitally analyzed cone center positions in retinal strips using lattice windows.
    • Scaled monkey retinal data to human foveal resolution for comparison.
    • Applied the sampling theorem and orientation reversal technique to estimate visual limits.

    Main Results:

    • Cone spacing increases monotonically with retinal eccentricity.
    • Cone positional disorder (jitter) increases beyond 1.5 degrees eccentricity.
    • Average cone spacing predicts visual acuity to 1.5 degrees but overestimates it eccentrically; however, it predicts Nyquist limits to 5 degrees using the orientation reversal technique.

    Conclusions:

    • Average cone spacing alone predicts the Nyquist limit across a wide retinal area (0-5 degrees).
    • The sampling theorem's applicability to visual acuity is limited at higher eccentricities due to increased cone disorder.
    • The orientation reversal technique provides reliable Nyquist frequency estimates in primate retina.
