Abstract
This article is the first to look at eye and head movements in observers with macular degeneration. It is the first to show that in older individuals, regardless of central field defect, freedom of head movement may reduce pursuit gain. Despite oculomotor limitations due to eccentric fixation, individuals with macular degeneration do not rely on head movements more than age-matched controls, with both groups having a similarly heterogenous eye and head movement strategy for pursuit.
