Abstract

When eyeball fixes targets, it will produce one frequent and regular movement which is difficult to detect. Such movements is called fixation eye motion. This motion can be further divided into drift, tremor and microsaccades. In recent years, research in this field is strikingly increasing. Due to the significant role on the control of fixation positron, maintaining continuous sense of perception, keeping bistable condition, clear vision, spatial orientation and attention, research in this field is maybe a worthwhile myopia research direction.
