Abstract
An acuity test was developed with defined space between symbols to determine the effect of crowding on visual line acuity. The test differentiates between normal-sighted subjects, those with low but uncorrected refractive errors and amblyopes. The test allows a quantitative examination of the crowding phenomenon and a measure of progress during amblyopia therapy. In normal-sighted subjects a maturational effect on visual line acuity was found, reaching the maximum test level at .apprx. the 10th yr of life.Keywords
