Eye movement is crucial to track moving targets and react to sudden stimuli, which favors the formation of satisfied dynamic vision. These movements include fixation, smooth pursuit (smoothly tracking objects), saccades (rapid shift to compensate for position difference), and vestibulo-ocular reflex (vestibular system derived reflex binocular movement during head rotation), which coordinate with each other in daily tasks, such as driving and sports. Eye movement and dynamic vision abnormalities could be seen in various ocular diseases, neurological diseases, and mental disorders. Therefore, eye movement tracking, and accurate evaluation and interpretation of eye movement patterns attach great significance to disease assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and discussion of prognosis.
Despite recent advances in eye movement tracking, its paradigm and interpretation have not been standardized, integrated, and automatized in many aspects. The application of eye movement tracking is expected to facilitate the assessment of many diseases, not limited to cataracts, Alzheimer’s disease, and schizophrenia. Up to now, eye-tracking-based tasks and dynamic vision can effectively be integrated into visual and cognitive function evaluation that contributes to assessing several ocular and mental diseases. The relationship between eye movement patterns and disease signs or symptoms should be elucidated qualitatively and quantitatively to further promote the standardized application of the eye movement tracking-based assessment paradigm.
This Research Topic aims to collect original works and summarize the literature on the entire spectrum regarding eye movement tracking and dynamic vision and its interpretation, mainly in a clinical and clinical-based experimental setting. We want to promote the application of eye movement tracking-based assessment tools in more diseases and the standardization and automation of the current eye movement tracking methods as supplementary to the current clinical evaluation system. The specified topics include:
- Novel eye movement tracking technology and paradigm
- Applying dynamic vision and eye movement tracking in diagnosing, evaluating, and treating ocular diseases
- Applying dynamic vision and eye movement tracking in diagnosing, evaluating, and treating mental diseases
