Article Synopsis
- This study explores how spatial attention affects signal detection in patients with glaucoma, particularly in areas of the visual field that are damaged.
- It compares the performance of glaucoma patients with age-matched controls when identifying letters in crowded versus isolated conditions, finding that pre-cueing the target's location improves detection in patients but not in controls.
- The results suggest that glaucoma patients experience more difficulty with crowding and that directing attention can help enhance their perception in challenged visual areas.
Clinical Relevance: Crowding limits many daily life activities, such as reading and the visual search for objects in cluttered environments. Excessive sensitivity to crowding, especially in central vision, may amplify the difficulties of patients with ocular pathologies. It is thus important to investigate what limits visual activities and how to improve it.
