Abstract The evaluation of intermediate visual performance in Monovision using Simple Reaction Times. Methodology: In the present study, the participants were 11 healthy adults (mean age: 29±6 years and mean visual acuity: -0,23±0,07 logMAR) without any ophthalmopathological disorders or refractive surgery background and without amblyopia or anisometropia. To simulate Monovision, positive dioptric defocus was sed (from +0.50 D to +3.00 D, in 0.50 D steps), which was inserted in the dominant or the non– dominant eye, in addition to refraction for best corrected vision. Additionally, recordings were repeated under binocular viewing conditions. The stimulus used for reaction times recordings was a sinusoidal grating [5] with contrast 10%, spatial frequency of 4 c/deg and horizontal orientation. All recordings were performed at 1m distance. Reaction times were recorded for 1) a stimulus which was presented at the center of the visual field (foveal vision), 2) by using pupil apertures (3 and 6mm) under cycloplegia, for the stimulus’ presented in the periphery (up to 10deg). 3), and lastly. Visual acuity was also measured with ETDRS charts. Results: Defocus, whether monocular or binocular, leads in all cases to an increase in the reaction times although is more pronounced for the Binocular Defocus. No statistical significant differences were found between the two Monovision conditions. Statistical differences occurred between the two Monovision conditions and the Binocular Defocus (for defocus levels ≥1.0D). Also, performance with Monovision was better with the 6mm compare to 3mm. In the case of eccentricity, statistical significant differences were found between monovision conditions and binocular viewing with the effect being non- significant for 10deg eccentricities. Through quadratic equations obtained from Monovision and Binocular defocus conditions, it was calculated the value of the binocular dioptric defocus where the values of Monovision (reaction times, visual acuity) were corresponding (for defocus +1.00, +2.00, +3.00 D). Lastly, the results from Reaction times/ Effective Contrast were combined with Visual Acuity. Small changes in Visual Acuity lead to more abrupt changes in reaction times under Monovision compare to Binocular defocus. Conclusions: The results demonstrate that an increase in the amount of monovision (ie the addition) leads to an increase in reaction times, which is less pronounced compared to Binocular Defocus. The faster reaction times for 6mm aperture may show that the luminance is a more important factor for monovision compare to Depth of Focus (resulting from small apertures). Lastly, Monovision seems to affect more the foveal vision than the periphery vision.
