Amblyopia and binocular vision
- E. Birch
- Biology, Medicine
- Progress in Retinal and Eye Research

While there is a large body of data on the effects of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation of infant formula on visual and cognitive maturation during infancy, longterm… Expand
Circular contour frequency in shape discrimination
- B. Jeffrey, Y. Wang, E. Birch
- Physics, Medicine
- Vision Research
- 1 November 2002
Circular contour frequency (the number of radial cycles per degree of unmodulated contour length measured in degrees of viewing angle) is an important factor in determining the deformation threshold… Expand
Stereoacuity at age 3.5 y in children born full-term is associated with prenatal and postnatal dietary factors: a report from a population-based cohort study.

- Medicine
- The American journal of clinical nutrition
- 1 February 2001
BACKGROUND
Observational studies suggested that breast-feeding benefits the visual development of preterm children, which has been attributed to the presence of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in breast… Expand
