Journal Article

Reading with a macular scotoma. I. Retinal location of scotoma and fixation area.

TL;DR: To investigate how patients with macular scotoma use residual functional retinal areas to inspect visual detail, a scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) was used to map the retinal locations of scotomas and areas used to fixate.
Journal Article

Reading with a macular scotoma. II. Retinal locus for scanning text.

TL;DR: Three patients with dense macular scotomas are tested using a scanning laser ophthalmoscope that allows an examiner to view and record stimuli on the retina while the patient views them, finding that each patient used a single, idiosyncratic retinal area, immediately adjacent to the scotoma, for fixating, inspecting acuity targets, and scanning simple, nonsense-syllable text.
