Neurodegenerative diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), negatively impact the aging global population. MS damage various parts of the central nervous system, leading to various eye-movement abnormalities. We have built a retinal FreezEye Tracker (FET) to measure a wide dynamic range of eye movements of up to 10 degrees with an ultrahigh temporal and spatial resolution during visual tasks, including fixations, experiments with saccades, and smooth pursuit. To compare, we performed the same experiments with pupil tracker EyeLink 1000. The amplitudes of detected saccades are similar in both devices, but FET provides high-resolution details on eye trajectory during fixation periods.
