Muscular activity and perimetric thresholds.

Static and kinetic peripheral luminance thresholds were measured by means of a Goldmann perimeter along oblique meridians in monocular vision. In a main group of 33 young and healthy subjects these measurements and visual reaction time assessments were made successively at rest, when cycling without load, when cycling with load using aerobic energy supply, when cycling with load using anaerobic energy supply and twice again at rest. Another group of subjects did not pedal and served as controls. The results show that peripheral visual sensitivity increases faintly but significantly during muscular exercise. When assessed by static perimetry the sensitivity increase is grossly proportional with load and is thus greatest in anaerobic condition, while kinetic sensitivity differs by a sensitivity decrease when passing from aerobic to anaerobic exercise. The reported modifications in perimetric sensitivity during dynamic muscular exercise seem related to changes in alertness.

A new assessment of the normal ranges of the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-hue test scores.

We gave the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-hue color vision test to 232 normal subjects between 10 and 80 years of age. One half the subjects underwent binocular testing followed by monocular testing. In the other half monocular testing preceded binocular testing. Performance was better with both eyes than with either eye alone. The worst performance occurred on monocular tests in subjects without previous experience with the task (that is, those for whom this was the first test). The well-known age trend was apparent (children and elderly have the worst color vision). New data are provided for judging the point at which the total error score may be considered pathologic.

In vitro study of lysosomal particles in corneal epithelium cultures after type I herpes virus infection.

The lysosomal cycle has been studied in the primary cultures of corneal epithelium infected with type I herpes virus. Immediately after the infection, the lysosomal system develops. There is a great dispersion in the morphometric analysis of the lysosomal particles. They represent a heterogeneous population with regard to their size. The number of lysosomal particles increases very rapidly during the first hours after the herpetic infection. Finally, many cells become round and die.
