This paper describes data from Asfaw at al. [1], which examined the eye movements of glaucoma patients (n=15) with pronounced asymmetrical vision loss (visual field loss worse in one eye). This allows for within-subject comparisons between the better and worse eye, thereby controlling for the effects of individual differences between patients. All patients had a clinical diagnosis of open angle glaucoma (OAG). Participants were asked to look at images of nature monocularly (free viewing; fellow eye patched) while gaze was recorded at 1000 Hz using a remote eye tracker (EyeLink 1000). Raw and processed eye tracking data are provided. In addition, clinical (visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and visual field) and demographic information (age, sex) are provided.
