Proportions of fixations as a function of character sizes. The proportions of fixations made previous to fixating the word with the PRL ("Initial": dotted pattern) and those performed while reading with the eccentric PRL ("Eccentric": black), the central PRL ("Central": grey) and the intervening "fixations" in the scotoma ("Scotoma": white) are represented as a function of character sizes (logMAR) for patients CN and CC. The arrow shows the spatial resolution threshold at the eccentric PRL. Note the shift from an exclusive use of the eccentric PRL to read the largest character sizes to increasing use of the central PRL as character size decreased.
