Abstract
In a previous study, it was found that oblique gaze and the prismatic effect inherent in dynamic aniseikonia combine to affect the ability to fixate centrally. In the current study, retinal image differences were introduced, whereas prismatic effects were eliminated. This simulates static aniseikonia as opposed to dynamic aniseikonia. At the same time, oblique gaze was simulated by presenting the stimuli in directions other than straight ahead. The directions of presentation contained both horizontal and vertical components. Fixation eccentricity was monitored by using the border enhancement method, as described in previous experiments. It was found that fixation eccentricity increased as the eyes were directed toward stimuli oriented in directions other than straight ahead. When vertical and horizontal components of oblique gaze were combined, the fixation eccentricity was found to be greater than with either component alone. When differential magnification between left and right retinal images was introduced, the fixation eccentricity increased further, the increment being approximately constant for all directions of gaze.
