title: Are the dominant eyes of amblyopes normal?
abstract: The common assumption that the dominant eyes of unilateral amblyopes are normal eyes is shown to be unjustified. The dominant eyes of unilateral amblyopes are shown to have reduced sensitivity, reduced acuity, and a horizontal eccentricity of fixation when compared to eyes of persons with normal acuity and normal binocular fixation.
