Abstract
Eye movements during fixation were recorded in 55 normal subjects with ages ranging from 21 to 81 years. We analysed ocular fixation recordings using measurements of saccadic intrusion amplitudes and frequencies along with fixation periods and mean fixation displacement. Viewing conditions included monocular, binocular and presence or absence of a visual fixation target. Visual feedback reduced the saccadic intrusion amplitudes but had no effect on fixation periods or mean fixation displacements. Binocular viewing had no effect on saccadic intrusion amplitudes, fixation periods or mean fixation displacements. A decrease in fixation periods and an increase in the number of saccadic intrusions with age was observed. This approach could be a clinically useful tool to quantify ocular fixation in neurological disease.
