Reduced visual acuity disrupts fixational stability but fails to fully capture amblyopic eye movements

Key Points

• To investigate the impact of reduced visual acuity on fixational stability and eye movements in amblyopia.
• Analyzed visual acuity and fixational instability in individuals with amblyopia.
• Evaluated oculomotor abnormalities associated with reduced visual acuity.
• Examined potential neurodevelopmental factors beyond the visual cortex.
• Fixational instability increased with reduced visual acuity.
• Amblyopia exhibited oculomotor abnormalities not solely explained by visual acuity.
• Neurodevelopmental mechanisms beyond the visual cortex may contribute to these abnormalities.
