Compass is still being developed and is effectively in beta. Some content and features may be incomplete, change, or not work as expected.
Content is anchored to trusted sources where available, but Compass has not yet been clinically reviewed. It provides general information rather than medical advice.
Feedback helps us identify gaps, errors, usability problems and opportunities to improve Compass over time.

- What affects how well eye-tracking works for someone?
Qualifies this
“Eye movement control usually stays broadly stable in ALS/MND, even as physical disability advances.”
A study comparing people with ALS to people without it found that eye movement is not always untouched. Abnormalities showed up mainly in holding a fixed gaze and in following a moving object, which is the part of the answer that says it can be affected for some.
ALS patients showed a range of eye movement abnormalities affecting mainly the ocular fixation and smooth pursuit systems.
