Macular degeneration (MD) is the most common cause of visual impairment among older
adults. It severely affects reading performance. People with MD have to rely on peripheral …

The central region of the human retina, the fovea, provides high-acuity vision. The
oculomotor system continually brings targets of interest into the fovea via ballistic eye …

Patients with a central scotoma usually use a preferred retinal locus (PRL) consistently in
daily activities. The selection process and time course of the PRL development are not well …

Purpose.: To describe new, efficient predictors of maximum reading speed (MRS) in age-
related macular degeneration (AMD) patients with central field loss. Type of AMD (wet …

People with a central scotoma often adopt an eccentric retinal location (Preferred Retinal
Locus, PRL) for fixation. Here, we proposed a novel training paradigm as a model system to …

Gaze-contingent display paradigms play an important role in vision research. The time delay
due to data transmission from eye tracker to monitor may lead to a misalignment between …

Horizontally scrolling text is, in theory, ideally suited to enhance viewing strategies
recommended to improve reading performance under conditions of central vision loss such …

Many important results in visual neuroscience rely on the use of gaze-contingent retinal
stabilization techniques. Our work focuses on the important fraction of these studies that is …

Due to the dramatic difference in spatial resolution between the central fovea and the
surrounding retinal regions, accurate fixation on important objects is critical for humans. It is …

Crowding is thought to be one potent limiting factor of reading in peripheral vision. While
several studies investigated how crowding between horizontally adjacent letters or words …
