<h4>Purpose</h4>Bangerter filters are designed to cause progressive degradation of distance optotype acuity to predicted levels (density label indicating expected decimal acuity) and are used to treat amblyopia and diplopia. Few authors have reported data regarding induced acuity deficits. We investigated the effect of Bangerter filters on distance and near optotype acuity, vernier acuity, and contrast sensitivity.<h4>Methods</h4>Fifteen subjects with best-corrected optotype acuity of at least 2 ...[more]
