Using AMD-like simulated scotomata in young and old healthy adults : effects on eye movement patterns and fixation efficiency

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of legal blindness, causes irreversible visual impairment within a central scotoma (blind spot). Patients with AMD therefore use extrafoveal (not in the center of vision) locations for fixation, with a cost of increased fixation instability and...
