title: Translational Vision Rehabilitation: From Eccentric Fixation to Reading Rehabilitation.
abstract: Eccentric fixation is a commonly used adaptive strategy in patients with central vision loss. A common complaint in patients with central vision loss is reading difficulty. The mechanisms as to how and why eccentric fixation develops comprise an exciting area of research. As we better understand this phenomenon, we may apply these findings to the clinical setting and in particular to reading rehabilitation. Biofeedback is a new technique that can be applied to eccentric fixation and may have a role in reading rehabilitation.
