Saccadic latency in amblyopia.

"Commercial relationships: none."

"This project was initiated in 1983 by John Flynn, who assembled a group of clinical and basic scientists to consider the use of psychophysical and oculomotor measurements to classify different types of amblyopia. In 1989, we obtained NEI support for a full-fledged study of visual functions in amblyopia. Nance Wilson coordinated and directed the two data collection centers (University of California, Berkeley, and the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute). We are grateful for the continuous technical support provided by Douglas Taylor during the data collection phase. We acknowledge the invaluable contribution of Kaiser Foundation Research Institute in finding many amblyopic and at-risk observers suitable for this study, and for performing their clinical examinations. We thank Dr. Susan Day for her many contributions to the design of the clinical protocol, and for performing many of the clinical examinations. We also thank Eileen Kowler for suggesting that fixation instability might affect shifts in attention. This project was supported by National Eye Institute Grant U10 EY07657."
