Fast Recovery of the Amblyopic Eye Acuity of Kittens following Brief Exposure to Total Darkness Depends on the Fellow Eye

Figure 6

The grating acuity of the deprived eye acuity (orange symbols) and the binocular acuity (green symbols) of two monocularly deprived littermates C445 (square symbols) and C447 (cross symbols) surrounding 10 days of total darkness followed immediately by a 2-day period of fellow eye occlusion (FEO). Whereas the period of FEO effectively blocked any improvement of the acuity of the deprived eye following the period of darkness, it did not result in any reduction of the acuity of the nondeprived eye.
