Summary
This paper discusses the study of individual differences in perception at absolute threshold, the absolute limit of vision, and the implications of this for emerging treatments for retinal diseases.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the study of vision at the absolute threshold, including the physical and physiological basis of absolute threshold and dark adaptation, and the implications of this for retinal diseases.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how tests that assess vision at or near absolute threshold also place cognitive and motor demands on patients.
Aging: The paper discusses how many retinal diseases that affect photoreceptor function at absolute threshold are more common in older individuals.
