This study examines the effects of the tenotomy and reattachment procedure on visual function, using model predictions and patient data. It explores the impact of target timing, pursuit gain, eye switching, and various conditions on target acquisition. The findings suggest that the procedure improves visual function, but there is still room for improvement in target timing for better target acquisition.

Human Data Bad Target Timing = Poor Target Acquisition Half Speed Lt > 2 s
Human Data Good Target Timing = Fast Target Acquisition Half Speed Lt ~= 0.8 s Also: Good Pursuit Gain!
Human Data Same Patient, Different Pursuit Gains vs. Direction Half Speed Lt > 2 s Bad Pursuit Gain = Poor Target Acquisition
Human Data Eye Switching Contributes to Longer Lt Half Speed Lt ~= 1 s INS + Strabismus = Poorer Target Acquisition

T&R means seeing MORE, BETTER, and FASTER, but... Seeing Faster Improves Visual Function and is Necessary for Most Activities in a Full Life I may still miss the bird!
