Driving with Monocular Bioptic Telescope: Strabismus Might Affect Hazard Detection with the Fellow Eye

摘要

Bioptic telescopes are commonly used by visually impaired patients who frequently also have strabismus. Strong ocular dominance in strabismus may result in suppression of the non-dominant eye and therefore affect the ability of this eye to detect hazards outside of the telescope view when the dominant eye is viewing through the telescope. Strabismic participants had reduced fellow-eye detection with the bioptic on a patterned background; non-strabismics did not.
