Abstract
We continued our study of the mechanisms of visual acuity (VA) in ontogenesis. We measured the VA and sensitivity to lines orientation and determined the minimal length of lines for discrimination of the vertical and the horizontal ones in subjects aged 7–25 years. It was found that the thresholds of discrimination of vertical and horizontal lines in subjects with normal VA decreased with age up to 9–10 years and then remained constant, while the orientation selectivity was improving up to the age of 14–16 years. The average VA almost did not depend on age. Individual thresholds of line lengths and orientation discrimination correlated with the VA of subjects.
