This document discusses using eye tracking to study how people with dyslexia navigate and interact with websites. It proposes conducting an exploratory study comparing the eye movements and web navigation behaviors of dyslexic users to non-dyslexic users. The study would analyze visual attention patterns, scan paths, fixations, and other eye tracking metrics to better understand how dyslexia impacts the web navigation process and identify design improvements to make websites more accessible.
