Philadelphia, Pa. (September 26, 2013) - - Blurred images that are unidentifiable as still pictures become understandable once the images are set in motion. That’s because of a phenomenon called "optic flow"—which may be especially relevant as a source of visual information in people with low vision, reports a study ‘With an Eye to Low Vision: Optic Flow Enables Perception Despite Image Blur’, (published online ahead of print, September 3, 2013) in the October issue of Optometry and Vision Science official journal of the American Academy of Optometry. The journal is published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, a part of Wolters Kluwer Health.
