A general numerical method evaluating three-dimensional eye rotations by scanning laser ophthalmoscopy.

A general computational method is described to specify completely the rotational state of the eye in three dimensions by scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO). The method uses the simplex algorithm to fit the eye's rotational parameters to data given by n individually selected ocular fundus landmarks before and after the eye rotation. The rotational parameters are expressed as the rotation vector and three spherical Euler angles. The method, which was implemented in the C programming language, can be applied for various eye movement measurements in clinical and laboratory environments, including SLO.

Measurement of eye rotations in three dimensions and the retinal stimulus projection using scanning laser ophthalmoscopy.

A transformation algorithm is introduced to specify eye rotations in three dimensions from two-dimensional translations of ocular fundus landmarks dynamically monitored by means of the novel Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (SLO). The rotation parameters are expressed as Y-X-Z Euler angles and in terms of the rotation axis and one rotation angle. Additionally, the angular distance of the retinal stimulus projection can be evaluated relative to the fovea. By simultaneously operating as eye movement measurement device, fundus camera, and visual target projector, the SLO opens a variety of new applications for the combined analysis of eye movements and the underlying 'retinal events' in vision and oculomotor research.
