Concussions are complex injuries that require a multifaceted testing battery. Vision impairments are common following concussion, but it is unknown exactly how eye tracking may be affected following injury and how it is associated with other clinical concussion assessments. (1) examine the relationship between eye tracking performance (BOX score) and other common concussion evaluations, (2) identify if eye tracking adds novel information that augments baseline concussion evaluations, and (3) examine the effect of age, concussion history, and ADHD on eye tracking and other ophthalmological measures. 102 male high school football athletes (age: 16.0, 95% CI: 15.8, 16.2) completed a series of visual and neurocognitive tests during their pre-season baseline assessment. The main outcome measures were BOX score, NPC distance, BAA distance, SAC score, and ImPACT composite scores. BOX score was not significantly associated with symptoms, SAC score, NPC distance, BAA distance, or any ImPACT composite scores. Age, concussion history, ADHD, and number of prior years playing football were not significantly associated with BOX score or NPC distance, but there was a significant association between concussion history and greater BAA distance (β=1.60; 95% confidence interval = 0.19–3.01; P = 0.03). The BOX score cutoff of 10 resulted in a 12% false positive rate. Eye tracking was not significantly associated with the commonly used clinical concussion assessments. These results suggest that an objective eye tracking variable may be a valuable addition to the current concussion battery.
