Abstract
AbstractThe eyes move in order either to keep track of an object of interest or to change visual attention from an object to another. There are several types of eye movements, each of them can be altered due to different mechanisms and pathologies. Patients with eye movement disorders can be either symptomatic (diplopia, oscillopsia) or asymptomatic. This presentation will summarize the infranuclear, nuclear and supranuclear pathways of oculomotility with an emphasis on fixation, saccades, pursuit, convergence and basic examination of the vestibulo‐ocular reflex. Guidelines for an examination of eye movements in clinical practice will be provided with video presentations of both normal and abnormal situations. At the end of the session, participants should be able to examine eye movements adequately and recognize abnormal fixation, defective pursuit, and inappropriate saccades.
