contents Retinal image-based eye tracking is widely used in ophthalmic imaging and vision science, and is a promising path to deliver higher gaze accuracy than the pupil- and cornea-based approaches commonly used in modern AR/VR devices. Nevertheless, existing retinal tracking algorithms still primarily rely on classical template-matching registration, which can be insufficiently robust to retinal feature variability and real-world imaging conditions. In this work, we propose a novel weakly-supervised, learning-based framework for robust retinal eye tracking. Initial studies demonstrate high accuracy, achieving the 95th-percentile gaze error < 0.45 deg across a cohort of 6 participants.
