Research advances in eye movement in patients with glaucoma

The saccade-fixation alternating eye movements are essential for completing daily activities. Patients with glaucoma have limited mobility (for example, increased risk of falls and crash) due to visual field defects, which may also induce abnormal eye movement patterns. However, some glaucoma patients with visual field defects still have good daily activity performance, which suggests that there exist compensatory eye movement patterns. This article reviews the established findings of published studies, with the hope of providing references for further analysis of eye movement in daily tasks in glaucoma patients.
