Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Assessing visual and oculomotor functions in visually impaired children is crucial for tailored support.
  • Standard visual function assessments (VFA) can be challenging for young children or those with intellectual disabilities.
  • Eye tracking (ET) offers a potential solution by recording orienting gaze responses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To observe and quantify ET-based gaze responses for visual and oculomotor functioning insights.
  • To compare ET findings with standard VFA in visually impaired children.
  • To evaluate ET as a tool for assessing visual performance in pediatric populations.

Main Methods:

  • One hundred twenty-six visually impaired children (ages 1-14) underwent VFA and remote ET testing.
  • Oculomotor (nystagmus, fixation, saccades, pursuit) and visual functions (visual field, contrast, colour) were assessed.
  • Correlation analyses compared VFA and ET results; quantitative gaze parameters were calculated.

Main Results:

  • Good agreement (rs = 0.39–0.69) was observed between ET and VFA for oculomotor control and visual functions.
  • Quantitative gaze parameters revealed distinct performance differences between children with and without specific impairments.
  • These findings were consistent across age groups (1-6 and 7-14 years).

Conclusions:

  • ET-based gaze recordings are a promising, communication-free tool for assessing visual and oculomotor performance in children.
  • Quantitative gaze parameters aid in characterizing functional visual performance independently of age.
  • ET is a valuable addition to standard VFA in clinical practice for pediatric visual assessment.
