During fixation, an incessant drift of the eye keeps the image impinging on the retina always in motion. Previous work indicated that luminance modulations from ocular drift serve important visual functions in emmetropes (Intoy & Rucci, 2020; Clark et al 2022). However, it remains unknown how ocular drift varies under myopia, a visual impairment commonly caused by eye elongation. We measured eye movements in 19 individuals with varying degrees of myopia (-0.25 D to-6.5 D) using a digital Dual-Purkinje Image eye-tracker, a recently developed system with sub-arcminute resolution. Subjects observed stimuli monocularly with vision corrected via a Badal optometer. They engaged in two high-acuity tasks:(a) resolution of a 20/20 line of an eye chart (5 evenly spaced tumbling E optotypes); and (b) a more natural task where subjects were presented with images of distant faces (1⁰) and asked to report the image’s gaze direction. We show ocular drift characteristics differ in myopes relative to emmetropes. Drift was faster and less curved in myopic observers. On the retina, these changes result in luminance modulations that amplify low spatial frequencies at the expense of high spatial frequencies, so that high-frequency signals are effectively weaker in myopes These results are consistent with the proposal that fine spatial vision strongly relies on oculomotor-induced luminance modulations and emphasize the importance of considering fine eye movements in myopia.
