TREYESCAN: configuration of an eye tracking test for the measurement of compensatory eye movements in patients with visual field defects

Abstract The Traffic Eye Scanning and Compensation Analyzer (TREYESCAN) is introduced as an innovative eye tracking test designed to measure compensatory eye movements in individuals with visual field defects. The primary objective of the test is to quantitatively assess and analyze the compensatory...

description Abstract The Traffic Eye Scanning and Compensation Analyzer (TREYESCAN) is introduced as an innovative eye tracking test designed to measure compensatory eye movements in individuals with visual field defects. The primary objective of the test is to quantitatively assess and analyze the compensatory eye movements employed by patients with visual field defects while viewing videos of various traffic scenes from the viewpoint of a driver of a passenger car. The filming process involved capturing a wide range of driving conditions and hazards, aiming to replicate real-world scenarios. Specific dynamic areas of interest within these scenes were selected and assessed by a panel of experts on medical and practical fitness to drive. Pilot measurements were conducted on a sample of 20 normally-sighted individuals during two different measurement sessions. The results provide valuable insights into how individuals without visual impairment view the dynamic scenes presented in the test. Moving forward, the TREYESCAN will be used in a case–control study involving glaucoma patients and control subjects, with the goal of further investigating and understanding the mechanisms employed by individuals with glaucoma to compensate for their visual field defects.
