Impact of Central Vision Loss on Eye Movements and Time-to-Contact Judgments
… movements differ between individuals with normal vision and individuals with central vision loss during navigation tasks. However, no study has investigated eye movement differences between individuals with normal vision and individuals with central vision loss in a TTC task. The current study …

Identifying the Preferred Retinal Locus for Reading
People with central vision loss (CVL) often adopt a specific retinal location, known as the preferred retinal locus (PRL), outside of the region of loss to fixate targets in the visual field. The PRL is most often measured using simple fixation tasks. It has been reported that this location on the …

A user-centred design framework for context-aware computing
… use of landmarks to navigate by people with a central vision loss, people with a peripheral vision loss, and registered blind people. Secondly, the 'application's context' involved designing context-aware services for transmission to participants within indoor and outdoor routes. Thirdly, the …

Stargardt patient experiences in the first gene-based clinical trial for an inherited retinal condition in South Africa
… is a genetic condition that causes progressive central vision loss, typically beginning in late childhood or early adulthood. This vision loss is due to a build-up of lipofuscin in the macula, a part of the retina responsible for sharp central vision. Stargardt disease follows an autosomal …

Visual dysfunction : a contributing factor in memory deficits, and therefore learning difficulties?
… paediatric optometry tests, and in school vision screening. Eye exercises increase the range of binocular fields of vision by employing stereopsis glasses and red/green slides. Central vision loss was uncovered when students reported words, seen by only the right eye, "disappear" or "switch …

Credibility of a Person-Centered Design Decision-making Prototype: Spaces for Older Persons with Vision Loss
… their visual needs in mind. As their field of vision decreases, people find it harder to identify an objects location, distance, and orientation. Elderly people with vision impairments usually find it harder to perform daily activities such as navigation through indoor spaces. Functional vision …
