Fixation Problem
Also known as: Reading Fixation Difficulty, Visual Fixation Issue
A difficulty in maintaining stable visual focus on a specific point or line of text during reading. People with fixation problems may lose their place frequently, skip lines, or re-read the same passage unintentionally. This is a common challenge for dyslexic readers and can be alleviated through digital techniques such as adjusting column width, increasing line spacing, or using reading guides that help the eye track along the correct line of text.
