Wayne Saccadic Fixator

For over 35 years the Wayne Saccadic Fixator ("Circle of Lights") has been the developmental optometric profession's standard for testing, evaluating, and developing accurate and rapid eye-hand coordination, spatial integration, and reaction times. Athletic trainers, developmental vision optometrists, and rehabilitation therapists have acclaimed the Wayne Saccadic Fixator for its ability to motivate users. The Wayne Saccadic Fixator has been used for sports vision training by college, professional, and Olympic teams worldwide, including the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" US Olympic hockey team.

The Wayne Saccadic Fixator is a wall-mounted instrument with a touch-sensitive membrane panel containing 33 LED lights arranged in three concentric circles with one light at the center. The user responds to the appearance of a light by pressing the membrane button surrounding it. The built-in computer provides a nearly unlimited variety of activities based on:

  • Self-pacing: the unit presents a light and waits for the user to press it.
  • Auto-pacing: the unit presents lights at a preset speed; only lights pressed within the time limit count.
  • Auto-pacing with speed tracking: the presentation speed increases or decreases according to the user's performance.
  • Visual memory: the unit presents a sequence of random lights of increasing length, which the user has to repeat.
  • Reaction/anticipation timing, using the .
  • Eye-hand reaction/release timing ("Reaction Plus").
  • Activity counting.
  • Synchronized rhythm.

Both random and fixed light presentation patterns are available. All activities can be time-limited. The number of lights used in an activity is adjustable (all lights, outer circle only, four quadrant lights, etc.). Lights can be presented either continuously on or flashed for a time interval adjustable in milliseconds. Central fixation can be enforced to develop peripheral awareness.

The unit can store 203 activity programs, of which 172 are pre-programmed with activities for developing rapid saccadic fixations, eye-hand coordination, accuracy, speed, sequencing, directionality, pattern recognition, visual memory, anticipation, reaction time, peripheral awareness, and more. Users can easily add their own programs.
