The influence of flicker on 3-month-olds' peripheral vision

Purpose. Detection in the temporal visual field develops more rapidly than detection in the nasal visual field (Lewis & Maurer, Vision Res., 1992). Here we investigated whether, at 3 months of age, flicker affects orienting equally in both visual fields. Methods. We used static perimetry to measure detection at 30, 45, 60, and 75 deg in the temporal visual field and at 15, 30, 45, and 60 deg in the nasal visual field. After fixating centrally, …
