Claim:
1. A method comprising: generating an electronic user interface displaying one or more visual cues of where an individual should look during a task conducted by the individual using the user interface; determining a target range associated with each of the one or more visual cues displayed on the user interface, each target range defining a viewing area around the one or more visual cues; prompting the individual to respond to the one or more visual cues displayed using the user interface; receiving data of the individual's response to the one or more visual cues, including the individual's identification of the one or more visual cues and data representing a location where the individual's eye or eyes are looking relative to the target range defining the viewing area around each of the one or more visual cues, before, during, or after the task conducted using the user interface; identifying one or more saccades and one or more smooth pursuit eye movements from the received data, where the smooth pursuit eye movements are distinguished from the one or more identified saccades, or where the smooth pursuit eye movements take into account saccadic suppression; evaluating the individual's visual tracking and acuity based on the identified smooth pursuit eye movements; evaluating the individual's vision performance, including reaction time, choice reaction time, and/or discrimination reaction time, using both the individual's identification of the one or more visual cues and the identified smooth pursuit eye movements; quantifying the individual's response to the one or more visual cues based on the evaluation of the individual's visual tracking and acuity and the evaluation of the individual's vision performance, the evaluation of the individual's visual tracking and acuity being different from the evaluation of the individual's vision performance; and generating an electronic display including indicia representing one or more quantified results of the evaluation of the individual's response to the one or more visual cues.
