Abstract Interocular differences in image blur can cause processing speed differences that lead to dramatic misperceptions of the distance and three-dimensional direction of moving objects. This recently discovered illusion—the reverse Pulfrich effect—is caused by optical conditions induced by monovision, a common correction for presbyopia. Fortunately, anti-Pulfrich monovision corrections, which darken the blurring lens, can eliminate the illusion for many viewing conditions. However, the reverse Pulfrich effect and the efficacy of anti-Pulfrich corrections have been demonstrated only with trial lenses. This situation should be addressed, for clinical and scientific reasons. First, it is important to replicate these effects with contact lenses, the most common method for delivering monovision. Second, trial lenses of different powers, unlike contacts, can cause large magnification differences between the eyes. To confidently attribute the reverse Pulfrich effect to interocular optical blur differences, and to ensure that previously reported effect sizes are reliable, one must control for magnification. Here, in a within-observer study with five separate experiments, we demonstrate that (1) contact lenses and trial lenses induce indistinguishable reverse Pulfrich effects, (2) anti-Pulfrich corrections are equally effective when induced by contact and trial lenses, and (3) magnification differences do not cause or impact the Pulfrich effect.

Purpose. To examine the interaction between a short period of hyperopic defocus and low-dose atropine upon the choroidal thickness and ocular biometrics of healthy myopic subjects. Methods. Twenty young adult myopic subjects had subfoveal choroidal thickness (ChT) and ocular biometry measurements taken before and 30 and 60 min following the introduction of optical blur (0.00 D and −3.00 D) combined with administration of 0.01% atropine or placebo. Each combination of optical blur and drug was tested on different days in a fixed order. Results. The choroid exhibited significant thinning after imposing hyperopic defocus combined with placebo (mean change of −11 ± 2 μm, p<0.001). The combination of hyperopic blur and 0.01% atropine led to a significantly smaller magnitude of subfoveal choroidal thinning (−4 ± 8 μm), compared to placebo and hyperopic defocus (p<0.01). Eyes treated with 0.01% atropine with no defocus exhibited a significant increase in ChT (+6 ± 2 μm, p<0.01). Axial length also underwent small but significant changes after treatment with hyperopic blur and placebo and 0.01% atropine alone (both p<0.01), but of opposite direction to the changes in choroidal thickness. However, the 0.01% atropine/hyperopic blur condition did not lead to a significant change in axial length compared to baseline (p>0.05). Conclusion. Low-dose atropine does inhibit the short-term effect of hyperopic blur on choroidal thickness and, when used alone, does cause a slight thickening of the choroid in young healthy myopic adults.
