Visual fixation improves in children aged 4-15 years, with increased fixation density and duration, and fewer saccades. This study provides normative data for identifying fixation abnormalities in children.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Developmental Neuroscience
  • Pediatric Vision

Background:

  • Steady visual fixation is crucial for visual function.
  • Limited research exists on visual fixation development in healthy children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish normative data for binocular visual fixation in children aged 4-15 years.
  • To identify developmental trends in visual fixation behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an infrared eye-tracking device (Orbit) to analyze binocular fixation.
  • 135 non-clinical children aged 4-15 years participated.
  • Participants fixated a stationary target for 20 seconds with head restraint.

Main Results:

  • Fixation density and duration increased with age (p < 0.01, p = 0.02).

  • Intruding saccades decreased with age (p < 0.01).
  • Blinks, drifts, gender, and laterality showed no significant age-related differences.

    • Conclusions:

    • This study provides reference values for visual fixation in children.
    • These data aid in identifying children with fixation abnormalities.
