Abstract
We determined how saccades were used in the experiments described in Epelboim, Steinman, Kowler, Edwards, Pizlo, Erkelens and Collewijn (1995) [ Vision Research, 35, 3401–3422], where unrestrained subjects looked at or tapped nearby targets. We report: (i) the size of binocular saccades; (ii) how well saccade size matched in the two eyes; and (iii) saccadic vergence. A representative sample (3375 saccades) was measured: 83% were <15°, 53% were <5°. Only two were ‘microsaccades’. Saccade sizes were very similar in the two eyes. These results imply that subjects prefer avoiding large saccades. They can do this simply by re-orienting the head appropriately. Subjects under-verged by 25–35% and preformed well. None experienced diplopia.
