The optostatic system and abnormal ocular movements

The function of the oculomotor system is to assure gaze movements. Its equilibrium is essential to allows the stability of gaze, especially fixation. Therefore, an opto-static system is necessary to complete the kinetic organisation of eye movements. A disorder in this opto-static system produces ab...

Summary:The function of the oculomotor system is to assure gaze movements. Its equilibrium is essential to allows the stability of gaze, especially fixation. Therefore, an opto-static system is necessary to complete the kinetic organisation of eye movements. A disorder in this opto-static system produces abnormal eye movements. Their appearance depends on the location nd on the nature of the lesion in the opto-static system.
