Abstract
In this study, we report on oculomotor scanning behavior in 70 subjects exhibiting unilateral visual homonymous visual field disorders with and without complaints about visual difficulties in everyday life. Eye movements were recorded during the inspection of a stimulus pattern. Subjects with visual complaints showed significantly longer scanning times and a higher number of fixations and refixations. In contrast, patients without complaints performed within the range of normal control subjects. It is hypothesized that additional injuries to the subcortical connecting fibers in the occipital lobe, the posterior thalamus, or occipito-parietal visual areas might be responsible for the absence of efficient spontaneous oculomotor compensation strategies.
