[The influence of ocular dominance on monovision--the influence of strength of ocular dominance on visual functions].

Purpose: Monovision is a method of correction for presbyopia. We have reported the advantage of conventional monovision (the dominant eye is corrected for distance). In this study, we investigated the influence of interocular imbalance of dominancy on the visual function.

[The influence of ocular dominance on monovision--the interaction between binocular visual functions and the state of dominant eye's correction].

Purpose: To examine the interaction between binocular visual functions and the correction of the dominant eye, i.e., for far vs.

Quantitative measurement of ocular dominance using binocular rivalry induced by retinometers.

Purpose: To develop a new method using binocular rivalry and retinometers to quantitatively examine ocular dominance and to investigate the magnitude of ocular dominance in cataract patients preoperatively and postoperatively.

Setting: Eye Clinic, Kitasato University School of Medicine Hospital, Sagamihara, Kanagawa, Japan.

Methods: The duration of exclusive visibility of the dominant and nondominant eye target in binocular rivalry were measured in 60 healthy volunteers (study 1) and preoperatively and postoperatively in 10 cataract patients (study 2).

Ocular dominance and patient satisfaction after monovision induced by intraocular lens implantation.

Purpose: To elucidate the relationship between ocular dominance and patient satisfaction with monovision induced by intraocular lens implantation.

Setting: Eye Clinic, Kitasato University School of Medicine Hospital, Sagamihara, Kanagawa, Japan.

Methods: The durations of exclusive visibility of dominant- and nondominant-eye targets were measured in 16 patients with successful monovision and 4 patients with unsuccessful monovision to determine the characteristics of ocular dominance.
