Individual differences in visual function
Billy R. Hammond, John Buch
Abstract
A significant proportion of research on the visual system focuses on general principles that apply to samples and/or populations. Many questions, however, are more suited to the specific characteristics of an individual. The visual system, like most systems of the body, is extremely variable with respect to function and susceptibility to disease. Understanding this variation is an important avenue to better measurement, disease prevention and treatment.
