Eye Movements Actively Reinstate Spatiotemporal Mnemonic Content

Jordana S. Wynn, Kelly Shen, Jennifer D. Ryan · 18 May 2019

Eye movements support memory encoding by binding distinct elements of the visual world into coherent representations. However, the role of eye movements in memory retrieval is less clear. We propose that eye movements play a functional role in retrieval by reinstating the encoding context. By overtly shifting attention in a manner that broadly recapitulates the…

Effect of Intraocular Lens Tilt and Decentration on Visual Acuity, Dysphotopsia and Wavefront Aberrations

Zahra Ashena, Sundas Maqsood, Syed Naqib Ahmed et al. · 14 Sep 2020

Tilt and decentration of intraocular lenses (IOL) may occur secondary to a complicated cataract surgery or following an uneventful phacoemulsification. Although up to 2-3° tilt and a 0.2-0.3 mm decentration are common and clinically unnoticed for any design of IOL, larger extent of tilt and decentration has a negative impact on the optical performance and…

Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery: A Review of the Literature

Michael Balas, David J. Mathew · 21 Aug 2023

Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) has emerged as a novel approach in the glaucoma treatment spectrum, offering a range of diverse procedures and devices aimed at reducing intraocular pressure (IOP). MIGS can be broadly classified into several categories: those that enhance trabecular outflow (Trabectome, iStent, Hydrus Microstent, Kahook Dual Blade, high frequency deep sclerotomy, and…

The Evolution of the Pulvinar Complex in Primates and Its Role in the Dorsal and Ventral Streams of Cortical Processing

Jon H. Kaas, Mary K. L. Baldwin · 30 Dec 2019

Current evidence supports the view that the visual pulvinar of primates consists of at least five nuclei, with two large nuclei, lateral pulvinar ventrolateral (PLvl) and central lateral nucleus of the inferior pulvinar (PIcl), contributing mainly to the ventral stream of cortical processing for perception, and three smaller nuclei, posterior nucleus of the inferior pulvinar…

Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NA-AION): A Comprehensive Overview

Maria Letizia Salvetat, Francesco Pellegrini, Leopoldo Spadea et al. · 9 Nov 2023

Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NA-AION) represents one of the most important causes of blindness or severely impaired vision in middle-aged and elderly people. Unilateral optic disc edema and abrupt, painless vision loss are its defining features. It is commonly assumed that NA-AION is caused by an ischemic infarction of the optic nerve head, and,…

Vision template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Vision format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Vision template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Vision use?
