Article Synopsis
- During the first two years of life, many infants experience astigmatism, which causes blurriness in vision but usually corrects itself by age 5, so treatment is often unnecessary.
- The study examined the long-term impacts of early optical distortions on how adults perceive shapes, particularly focusing on those who had astigmatism corrected.
- Results showed that corrected astigmatic adults have a noticeable bias in shape perception and take longer to make decisions, suggesting a developmental mismatch in visual processing components.
Binocular rivalry (BR) is a visual perception phenomenon that occurs when each eye perceives different images and stimuli, causing alternating monocular dominance. To measure BR, many studies have used two monocular conflicting images to induce monocular alternations. Here we chose a group of participants with oblique astigmatism (OA) and who produced blur on the orthogonal oblique meridian in each eye, resulting in two conflicting images, which may enhance the stimulation of monocular alternations.

It was shown that the development of collinear facilitation is experience dependent and that it may be impaired when the visual input is distorted in one meridian (meridional amblyopia). In oblique astigmatism, the blurring is on the opposite oblique meridian in both eyes, resulting in two conflicting images, which may affect the development of binocular vision.
