Ocular Motility
- Assessment of movements and alignment of eyes
- Learn to test eye movements
- Learn to test eye alignment by observing corneal light reflections and by using cover test.
- Impaired eye movements and eye misalignment can be caused by lesions of extraocular muscles, neuromuscular junction, ocular motor cranial nerves, brain stem
- Diagnosis depends on assessing pattern of impaired eye movements and misalignment, and noting contributory manifestations such as pupil or lid abnormalities
- Eye oscillations can be caused by impaired vision, medications, recreational drugs, and brain stem disorders
