Peripheral motion detection and refractive error.
Motion thresholds were determined for the fovea and peripheral retina with and without correction for peripheral refractive error. With correction, motion thresholds decreased and inidividual differences disappeared. These results imply that under normal observation conditions, peripheral sensitivity is limited mainly by dioptric rather than retinal variables.
