Abstract
Amblyopia is an abnormality of form perception that is classically defined in terms of a reduction in letter acuity. Losses of letter acuity and vernier acuity are well correlated in amblyopia, and both these acuities are more severely affected than grating acuity (Levi and Klein, 1982). Tests of vernier acuity are thus likely to be sensitive indicators of form vision losses in the treatment of amblyopia.
