Default vision diagnostics

Does anyone have any idea on what types of vision diagnostic centers/technologies are available to patients? I understand there is significant high tech eye trackers available for research, however, doctors still seem to do the "follow my finger" test which is not sensitive enough to pick up visual disturbances. For example, I have been having some trouble with reading: I suspect this is a mild saccades problem but it is impossible to diagnose as my eyes can jump fine between large distances but likely have trouble jumping from word to word over much smaller distances. I would like to engage in some diagnostics that are sensitive enough to pick up whatever is actually wrong (and that have preferably been invented in the last 100 years as opposed to the finger test which is from the stone age). Anyone have any references on what kind of tests have been done and what types of specialists to see here? I have seen a neuro-opthamologist and a vision occupational therapist.. they all use the finger test.
