This study established normative saccadic eye movement values and reliability using electrooculography. Saccade velocity decreased with age, particularly for larger angles, and showed diurnal variation, but sex did not impact results.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuroscience
  • Human Physiology

Background:

  • Saccadic eye movements are crucial for visual perception and are influenced by various factors.
  • Establishing normative data and understanding reliability are essential for clinical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine normative values and test-retest reliability of saccadic eye movements.
  • To investigate the influence of age, sex, and time of day on saccade parameters.
  • To validate a new electrooculographic system for saccade analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Recruited 122 healthy participants for saccadic eye movement recording.
  • Utilized a novel electrooculographic system for data acquisition and analysis.
  • Assessed saccade parameters across different angles (15°, 25°, 35°) and repeated measurements.

Main Results:

  • Normative peak velocity values aligned with existing literature.
  • High test-retest reliability was demonstrated across multiple measurement sessions.
  • Significant negative correlation between age and saccade parameters, especially for 35° saccades.
  • Diurnal variations observed, with peak velocity tending to be lower in the early afternoon.
  • No significant sex-based differences in saccade parameters were found.

Conclusions:

  • The electrooculographic system provides reliable normative saccadic eye movement data.
  • Age is a significant factor affecting saccade velocity, particularly for larger saccades.
  • Saccade performance exhibits diurnal fluctuations and is not influenced by sex.
