The present literature review is aimed at offering a comprehensive and critical view of behavioral data collected during the past seventy years concerning visuoperception in severe alcohol use disorders (AUD). To pave the way for a renewal of research and clinical approaches in this very little understood field, this paper (1) provides a critical review of previous behavioral studies exploring visuoperceptive processing in severe AUD, (2) identifies the alcohol-related parameters and demographic factors that influence the deficits, and (3) addresses the limitations of this literature and their implications for current clinical strategies. By doing so, this review highlights the presence of visuoperceptive deficits but also shows how the lack of in-depth studies exploring the visual system in this clinical population results in the current absence of integration of these deficits in the dominant models of vision. Given the predominance of vision in everyday life, we stress the need to better delineate the extent, the specificity, and the actual implications of the deficits for severe AUD.

目前的文献综述旨在对过去 70 年中收集的有关严重酒精使用障碍 (AUD) 视觉感知的行为数据提供全面和批判性的观点。为了在这个鲜为人知的领域为研究和临床方法的更新铺平道路，本文 (1) 对先前探索严重 AUD 视觉感知处理的行为研究进行了批判性回顾，(2) 确定了与酒精相关的参数和人口统计学影响缺陷的因素，以及 (3) 解决了该文献的局限性及其对当前临床策略的影响。通过这样做，这篇综述强调了视觉感知缺陷的存在，但也显示了缺乏对这一临床人群视觉系统的深入研究如何导致目前这些缺陷没有整合到主要的视觉模型中。鉴于视力在日常生活中占主导地位，我们强调需要更好地描述严重澳元缺陷的程度、特异性和实际影响。
