    Strabismic and atropinized monkeys show reduced contrast sensitivity and accommodation range. Deficits in accommodation correlate with contrast sensitivity, mirroring human amblyopia.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Ophthalmology
    • Vision Science

    Background:

    • Strabismus and pharmacological interventions can affect visual function.
    • Contrast sensitivity and accommodation are key visual parameters.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between spatial contrast sensitivity and accommodation range in monkeys with induced strabismus or atropinization.
    • To compare visual deficits in animal models with human amblyopia.

    Main Methods:

    • Monkeys with induced strabismus or chronic atropinization were tested.
    • Spatial contrast sensitivity functions (CSFs) and accommodative ranges were measured.
    • Interocular differences and correlations between visual parameters were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • All affected eyes showed deficits in both contrast sensitivity and accommodation.
    • Strabismic monkeys exhibited interocular differences in CSFs and accommodation.
    • A significant correlation was found between high-frequency CSFs and accommodative range.

    Conclusions:

    • Deficits in accommodative range accompany contrast sensitivity losses in monkeys.
    • These findings suggest a potential link between these visual functions, relevant to understanding human amblyopia.
