Purpose: This study uses eye tracking to investigate how varying fellow eye (FE) contrast during dichoptic video viewing influences eye movement patterns, and their associations with interocular suppression, visual acuity, and stereoacuity deficit in amblyopia.

Methods: Eye movements of 27 amblyopic and 8 healthy control participants were recorded during dichoptic viewing of stationary dots and videos with FE contrasts (100%, 50%, 25%, and 10%). Analysis included durations the amblyopic and FE spent in different stimulus regions, fixation switches, and eye deviation, and correlating these with suppression, visual acuity, and stereoacuity.

Amblyopia is a neurodevelopmental visual disorder that affects approximately 3-5% of children globally and it can lead to vision loss if it is not diagnosed and treated early. Traditional diagnostic methods, which rely on subjective assessments and expert interpretation of eye movement recordings presents challenges in resource-limited eye care centers. This study introduces a new approach that integrates the Gemini large language model (LLM) with eye-tracking data to develop a classification tool for diagnosis of patients with amblyopia.

Purpose: Amblyopic and strabismus subjects experience inter-ocular suppression, impaired stereoacuity, and increased fixation instability. The purpose of the study was to investigate factors affecting suppression and stereoacuity and examine their relationship to fixation eye movement (FEM) abnormalities.

Methods: We recruited 14 controls and 46 amblyopic subjects (anisometropic = 18, strabismic = 14, and mixed = 14) and 11 subjects with strabismus without amblyopia.
