I am not a pscyhologist, but I recently read an article in 'the Pscyhologist' about eye tracking and neurological conditions.

Essentially eye movement varies across a range of such conditions. This relates to spatial information and 'attention'.
This in turn is raising the possibility that eye tracking will be used a diagnostic tool in the future.
Dyslexia was not mentioned in this article, but there is some evidence that there are also variations in the eye movements of dyslexics

The following link is to a slide set provides strong graphic images of differences in dyslexic eye movement when reading web pages.

So are diagnostic tools of this sort being developed for dyslexia?
In addition, these findings on eye movement suggest that there may be some commonalities across a range of cognitive conditions where navigation, working memory, coordination, etc, are compromised. Part of me would be concerned that dyslexia may get bundled in with a range of other neurological conditions if pscyhologists start to focus more on eye movement. But I also know that the visual stress is a major issue for me (as a dyslexic adult), and if pscyhologists look at dyslexia in this way, they might be able to start finding solutions to such visual stress.
I wondered in the case of dyslexia if there might also be links to recent findings that there may be structural differences in the eyes of people with visual dyslexia.

i.e could this potentially be related to eye movement - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2780205
