Visual Function Screening System With Special Needs Children and Typical Preschoolers

The investigators will recruit a total of 1,300 participants across four key groups to support the development and validation of an individualized visual function screening system using eye-tracking technology:

• 300 adults to establish a reference dataset for gaze estimation models
• 300 typically developing preschool children aged 3 to 5 years
• 400 typically developing children under the age of 3
• 300 children with special needs, including those with developmental disabilities and visual impairments Data collection will take place over 15 to 22 months, depending on the group.
