A New Way to Detect Vision Loss
2008-01-12 18:36:00
Scientists at Schepens Eye Research Institute have discovered that a visual illusion called the induce twinkle after-effect (TAE) is a simple and cheap way to detect vision loss and other eye diseases in patients and also helps keep track of a patient's vision loss. According to the scientists, the induced twinkle after-effect can accurately identify the location as well as the extent of the visual loss in people suffering from retinal disease.The twinkle after-effect is what scientists call the phenomenon when a person sees a "twinkling" in a blind spot after staring at a noisy visual target and then staring at an empty screen. The "twinkle after-effect" has been discovered by scientists in as early as 1992. Scientists have discovered that when a person looks at a TV screen with static noise while part of their visual field is covered with a patch, they experience a twinkling sensation in the patched area after the noise is turned off and the person stares at an empty screen.
