“…As most ophthalmic surgeons are only willing to operate on one eye at a time in patients with bilateral cataracts, due to the potential risk of simultaneous complications to both eyes, the presence of the spontaneous Pulfrich effect in patients with unilateral cataracts after the first cataract surgery may be useful in assessing the need for second-eye cataract surgery with acceptable visual acuity and stereoacuity [25]. In patients with central serous elevation of the macula, the spontaneous Pulfrich effect resolved upon resolution of the maculopathy [26].…”

“…On top of a reduction in retinal illumination, it has been suggested that a unilateral cataract can also cause a spontaneous Pulfrich effect through retinal defocusing, i.e., blurring, which also slows retinocortical transmission and increases visual latency [23]. However, Cetinkaya et al [23,24] Corneal opacity [21] Iatrogenic, e.g., uniocular mydriasis, X-chrom lens [19] Traumatic anisocoria [21] Affecting neural conduction Post retinal detachment repair [21] Macular disease [26,27] Asymmetric pigmentary glaucoma [22] Central pathway conditions Optic neuritis/multiple sclerosis [21,[33][34][35][36][48][49][50] Mid-facial injuries [31,32] Other optic nerve pathologies [28][29][30]51] Pituitary tumours and temporoparietal astrocytomas [38] Anisometropic amblyopia [16] reported that the magnitude of the spontaneous Pulfrich effect in patients with unilateral cataracts did not correlate with visual acuity, but correlated with the presence of binocular symptoms [25]. Indeed, it has been suggested that the presence of the Pulfrich effect may account for visual symptoms in patients with unilateral cataracts that are independent of visual acuity, stereoacuity and contrast sensitivity [23].…”

“…In our experience, most patients with subacute or chronic optic nerve disorders have only small spontaneous Pulfrich phenomenons, with delays of 5 ms or less [20]. Some patients with retained gross stereovision may have delays up to 30 ms [11,26]. Since a viewing angle of 90°is usually only adopted at slower car speeds, most probably only patients with large relative delays of more than 5 ms will experience distance misjudgements at slower speeds.…”

“…A bedside test allows estimation of the size of the illusion with just a black pen [20]. A spontaneous Pulfrich phenomenon was reported in the following diseases: drusen of the optic nerve [2], glaucoma [13], pituitary tumours and temporoparietal astrocytoma [5], anisometropic amblyopia [31], strabismus [13,25,31], serous sensory retinal detachment of the macula [11], diabetic retinopathy [13], cataract [13,18], corneal opacity, vitreous opacity, aphakia, anisometropia [18,19,31], anisocoria [30] and after midfacial injuries [14]. All these heterogeneous conditions must introduce a relative conduction delay between the images of the right and left eye.…”
