Abstract

A recent template-matching model hypothesized that simulated visual acuity loss with uncorrected refractive errors may be recovered by adding temporal defocus fluctuations up to the magnitude of the refractive error. Acuity recovery saturates or gets attenuated beyond this magnitude. These predictions were confirmed for monocular high-contrast visual acuity of 10 young, cyclopleged adults with 0.5-2.0D of induced myopia combined with the same range of temporal defocus fluctuations at 4.0Hz frequency. The outcomes reinforce that spatial resolution may be optimized by averaging time-varying defocus over the entire stimulus presentation epoch or around the point of least defocus within this epoch.
