  • Title: The visual deprivation syndrome.
    Author: Crawford ML.
    Journal: Ophthalmology; 1978 May; 85(5):465-77. PubMed ID: 97607.
    Abstract:
    The variety of experimental manipulations shown to induce amblyopia in young cats and monkeys is described. A brief monocular eye closure of only one week or an artificial strabismus of only two weeks produces profound long-lasting changes in the electrophysiology and anatomy of the visual system. A poor quality of visual experience, an image imbalance between the two eyes, or any spatial or temporal incompatibility can produce these symptoms of amblyopia.
