Meridional anisotropy in contrast sensitivity and visual evoked potential in adults with high myopic astigmatism by Siu Sang Anthony Wu, Tsz Wing Leung, Tsz Wing Leung, Tsz Wing Leung

“…PurposeAstigmatism can lead to meridional amblyopia, an orientation-specific visual deficit. This study investigated the effects of astigmatism on meridional anisotropy in contrast sensitivity (CS) and steady-state visual evoked potential (ssVEP) across a range of spatial frequencies.MethodsThirty-two young adults with a best-corrected distance visual acuity of logMAR 0 or better were categorized into two groups: highly astigmatic (HAS, n = 16) with spherical-equivalent error (SE) ≥ −6.00 D and a cylindrical error (Cyl) ≥ 2.00 DC, and non-astigmatic (NAS, n = 16) with SE ≥ −6.00 D but Cyl ≤ 0.50 DC. …”
