Ocular-following responses in school-age children

Abstract: Ocular following eye movements have provided insights into how the visual system of humans and monkeys processes motion. Recently, it has been shown that they also reliably reveal stereoanomalies, and, thus, might have clinical applications. Their translation from research to clinical setting has however been hindered by their small size, which makes them difficult to record, and by a lack of data about their properties in sizable populations. Notably, they have so far only been recorded in adults. We recorded… Show more

“…These findings suggest that OFR might reveal the presence of binocular collaboration and summation in patients [30]. Moreover, OFR can be detected also in young children or in patients in whom it may be difficult to assess stereopsis using common tests for binocular vision [31]. The present study has some limitations, such as its retrospective nature, the small sample size and the poor homogeneity of the sample relative to gender and age, which could affect the generalizability of the findings.…”

“…Third, in the present study, only voluntary eye movements were considered. Previous studies did not find an age-related difference in ocular following responses (OFRs) [ 21 ], suggesting that reflexive, non-voluntary movements might offer new insights into understanding typical and atypical patterns in preterm children and children with dyslexia.…”

“…In contrast, full-term chronological age-matched children showed shorter fixations, less frequent saccades, and larger prosaccades amplitude compared to the other groups, suggesting that the development of the brain areas is immature in the preterm population for their chronological age [ 20 ]. Some studies on typical populations indicate that reflexive movements, such as ocular following, are not age-related [ 21 ], but there are no studies on preterm populations at this regard. In the math domain, using eye-tracking, very preterm children at 10 years were slower in non-symbolic magnitude comparison with an atypical gaze in exploration [ 22 ].…”

“…Even though in this paper, participants were chosen so they could understand and collaborate during the evaluation process, clinicians and researchers should be familiarized with other ways to evaluate depth perception, especially in younger children. Recent research has discovered that reflexive eye movements can be sensitive to interocular stimulation, making them useful for subjective evaluation [26]. Likewise, it has been shown that reflexive Ocular Following is also present in children, which can be used for objective evaluation of one's capability of stereoscopic vision without the need for verbal feedback [27].…”
