The effect of magnification and contrast on reading performance in different types of simulated low vision [PDF]
Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2017 Low vision therapy, such as magnifiers or contrast enhancement, is widely used. Scientific evidence proving its efficacy is scarce however. The objective of this study was to investigate whether the benefits of magnification and contrast enhancement ...

The Relationship between Binocular Summation in Contrast Sensitivity and Stereopsis: Cross Sectional Study [PDF]
مجله پژوهش در علوم توانبخشی, 2021 Introduction: Binocular summation occurs in the presence of normal visual function of both eyes. Stereopsis is considered to be the finest function of binocular vision. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of binocular summation

Harmonizing motion and contrast vision for robust looming detection
Array, 2023 This paper presents a novel neural model of insect’s visual perception paradigm to address a challenging problem on detection of looming motion, particularly in extremely low-contrast, and highly variable natural scenes.

The importance of contrast features in rat vision
Scientific Reports, 2023 Models of object recognition have mostly focused upon the hierarchical processing of objects from local edges up to more complex shape features. An alternative strategy that might be involved in pattern recognition centres around coarse-level contrast ...

Attentional modulation of temporal contrast sensitivity in human vision. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Recent psychophysical studies have shown that attention can alter contrast sensitivities for temporally broadband stimuli such as flashed gratings. The present study examined the effect of attention on the contrast sensitivity for temporally narrowband ...

VI-OCR: "Visually Impaired" optical character recognition pipeline for text accessibility assessment. [PDF]
Sci RepLow vision adversely impacts daily activities, particularly reading. However, quantifying text accessibility for different levels of low vision is challenging, leading to product designs that often overlook the vision status of low vision readers.

Simulating Visibility and Reading Performance in Low Vision
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 PurposeLow vision reduces text visibility and causes difficulties in reading. A valid low-vision simulation could be used to evaluate the accessibility of digital text for readers with low vision.

Vision Rehabilitation is Part of AMD Care
Vision, 2018 AMD does not just affect the retina. It severely affects people’s lives. Paying attention to this aspect will only become more important as the population ages and more otherwise healthy individuals become affected.

The effect of serifs and stroke contrast on low vision reading
Acta Psychologica, 2023 Purpose: Patients with low vision are generally recommended to use the same fonts as individuals with normal vision. However, we are yet to fully understand whether stroke width and serifs (small ornamentations at stroke endings) can increase readability.
