..These results are particularly significant for any clinical and experimental testing method that requires the patient to maintain stable fixation...

..To determine and explain gaze changes during binocular versus monocular viewing in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD)...

..Here we compare the MP1 fixation quantification with the BCEA technique by correlating these values to various parameters of reading known to be related to fixation stability...

..Some modern infrared eyetrackers do not have these constraints. The purpose of this study was to compare fixation stability measurements made with these instruments...

..Here the authors use a novel statistical technique to determine whether the retinal locus used for fixating a point target is the same as that used for reading words...

..Similarities between the completion of pathologic and physiological scotomas would be consistent with large-scale reorganization of the visual system in eye disease..

..These results indicate that the TwAE involves additive noise that is pre-cortical in origin and that it is distinct from filling-in...

..The authors quantified the effects of age and fixation stability on the quality of retinotopic maps of primary visual cortex...

..The automated sentence generator would be useful for measuring reading speed with button-press response (such as within MRI scanners) and for studies requiring many repeated measures of reading speed...

..The development of such a self-diagnostic tool should be a research priority...

..Here, we determine how the PRL in macular disease is defined by researchers active in this field and, based on the responses received, propose a standardized definition of the preferred retinal locus...

..Patients with multiple PRLs were more likely to have suffered recent vision loss in the tested eye. Our technique describes fixation more fully than the traditional method of calculating a single bivariate contour ellipse area...

..This paper investigates the development of the PRL, with particular reference to the stability of fixation...

..Difficulty in reading is the most frequent complaint of patients with macular disease (MD). This article assesses whether clinical variables measured at the onset of MD can be used to predict patients' future reading ability...

..005), and were independent of changes in the number of saccades used to observe a target (r2 = 0.003, p = 0.62). These findings have important implications for the development of training programmes for patients with macular disease...

..The purposes of this study were to determine the types of low vision devices (LVDs) prescribed by clinicians in a large optometrist led hospital low vision clinic and to investigate changes in these prescribing habits between 1973 and 2003...

..To observe the development of the preferred retinal locus (PRL) in a group of patients with central scotomas caused by recent onset macular disease (MD)...

..Here the authors compare fixation stability values measured using the MP-1 microperimeter and the Rodenstock scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO; Rodenstock GmbH, Munich, Germany) in persons with and without diabetic maculopathy...

..Contrast sensitivity measurement in UK clinical practice is most commonly performed with the Pelli-Robson chart...
