Digital Advances in Binocular Vision and Eye Movement Assessment

Dear Colleagues,

Binocular vision relies on precise oculomotor coordination, including vergence, accommodation, fixation stability, and stereopsis. Recent advances in eye-tracking technology, virtual and augmented reality, digital stereotests, mobile-based assessment tools, and automated oculomotor analysis have opened new possibilities for evaluating binocular vision with greater accuracy and reproducibility. These innovations allow for objective measurement of disconjugate movements, vergence dynamics, accommodative responses, fixation disparity, and binocular coordination under both laboratory and real-world conditions. This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality research focused on technological, experimental, and clinical developments in binocular vision assessment. We welcome contributions from optometry, ophthalmology, visual neuroscience, biomedical engineering, and computer science. Topics of interest include eye-tracking-based metrics for binocular function, VR/AR applications, digital diagnostic systems, biomarkers derived from binocular behavior, and clinical or experimental studies exploring oculomotor control in healthy and pathological populations. This Special Issue will spotlight technologies and methodologies for assessing binocular vision and eye movements. Areas covered include the following:

• Eye-tracking analysis of vergence, accommodation, microsaccades, fixation disparity, and disconjugate movements;
• Virtual and augmented reality tools for binocular testing and oculomotor research;
• Digital stereopsis evaluation and automated binocular vision tests;
• Computational models of binocular coordination;
• Oculomotor biomarkers for concussion, neuro-visual disorders, and visual stress;
• Tele-optometry and mobile-based binocular assessment;
• Machine learning approaches for classifying binocular dysfunctions.

We look forward to receiving original research articles, clinical studies, methodological papers, technological developments, review articles, pilot studies, and case series involving digital or experimental approaches to binocular vision and eye movement analysis.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Eye Movement Research is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
