✦ Synopsis

Purpose~background: Many visual functions change with age. Hyperacuity vernier thresholds, however, seem to remain practically invariant with age. Methods: We critically review reports on age-related changes in hyperacuity thresholds and present new data using two and three-point vemier hyperacuity thresholds. Results: It appears as though the vernier (two dot or two line) alignment hyperacuity thresholds are not sensitive to age.
