Background: Saccade control is a complex function of our brain and relies on the
coordination of several subcortical, cortical, and functional areas. In the past it has been …

The purpose of the present study was to examine in 7 years old normal children who just
learnt to read, saccade and fixation characteristics during reading single words. Eight …

Studies dealing with developmental aspects of binocular eye movement behaviour during
reading are scarce. In this study we have explored binocular strategies during reading and …

Objective. Latency of eye movements depends on cortical structures while speed of
execution and accuracy depends mostly on subcortical brainstem structures. Prior studies …

The origin of binocular coordination of saccades (central, peripheral) and the role of learning
remain controversial (Hering vs Helmholtz). We will present evidence for learning: in young …

Vergence abnormalities could lead to inappropriate vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), causing
vertigo and imbalance (Brandt 1999). Indeed, a recent study by Anoh-Tanon et al.(2000) …

Many aspects of vision have been investigated in developmental dyslexia. Some research
suggests deficits in vergence control (eg Buzzelli, 1991, Optom. Vision Sci. 68, 842–846) …

Previous studies suggest vergence and saccade abnormalities in dyslexic adolescents.
However, these studies are mainly clinically based and do not provide objective …

It is well known that vergence movements are important for distance appreciation, depth
vision and stereopsis. Moreover, vergence movements are very probably used by the CNS …

The goal of this study was to explore the latency of eye movements both in direction and in
depth in dyslexic children. Sixteen dyslexic (mean age: 11.12±1.08 years) and 14 non …
