TL;DR
The retinal location of a saccadic target was made discrepant with its perceived position by means of an induced displacement and the position information used to program saccades may be either perceptual or retinal/spatial depending upon whether the information must be accessed from memory.
Abstract
The retinal location of a saccadic target was made discrepant with its perceived position by means of an induced displacement. If localizing the target required information stored in memory, the eye was directed to the perceived target position. Otherwise, it was directed to its retinal location. These findings do not conform to either a strictly retinotopic or spatiotopic model of oculomotor control. Rather they suggest that the position information used to program saccades may be either perceptual or retinal/spatial depending upon whether the information must be accessed from memory.

Electrical stimulation of the brain was used to move the eyes of monkeys just before saccades to visual targets despite the stimulation-induced perturbation, indicating that saccade are coded to direct the eyes to a certain position in the orbit (or in space).

The only finding reminiscent of perceptual “saccadic suppression” and mislocation effects is that a target which steps to a position ahead of a saccade is sometimes ignored.

Human eye tracking of a foveal afterimage during angular head oscillation in the dark produced smooth eye movements exceeding those for normal vestibular nystagmus, and a reduction in the frequency of the fast phase component of nyStagmus eye movements.

345 Citations1976Peter Hallett, A.D. Lightstone
In a flashed target variation of the Wheeless paradigm, “cancellation time” is not observed in circumstances where the first target is believed to be ineffective, and latency is approximately the same whether target steps are synchronized to saccades or not.

It is argued that the stimulus for pursuit eye movements is the appreciation of an object in motion with respect to the observer,Regardless of the retinal stimulation, and in some cases regardless of the sense modality through which the motion is detected.

Two dimensional eye movements were recorded to show that subjects could return their eyes to a reference position following both saccades and slow phase of vestibular nystagmus suggesting eye position was signalled accurately during both movement types and this signal was closely timelocked to saccade.

A sampled data model was developed to describe the major characteristics of the eye movement control system for nonpredictive tracking and predicts the observed changes in transient and frequency characteristics and the limits of stability as the effective visual feedback is varied by adding the measured eye position to the target command signal.

It is concluded that perceived movement can act as a stimulus for pursuit only when the "perceptual target" has no retinal counterpart.

A negative answer to the question of whether perceived motion is necessary for pursuit is obtained: retinal motion always governed pursuit.

The results of five subjects showed that the saccades were directed toward the direction of the actual location of the destination rather than to that of the perceived direction.

Saccadic eye movements on a Julesz' figure (a triangle) were studied and in the absence of outlined fixation points in both retinal images the subjects executed constant-amplitude saccades no matter what the perceived size of the figure.
