Revealing the benefit of eye motion for acuity under emulated cone loss

Retinal degenerative diseases progressively erode the cone photoreceptor mosaic, reducing the retina’s spatial sampling power, yet visual acuity is remarkably resilient to cone loss. Prior work has shown that clinically normal visual acuity (20/25 or better) can persist despite up to 50% of cone cells being lost (Ratnam et al., 2013; Foote et al., 2018). However, studies on individuals with…
