BVS 550 Eye Movements
3.5 Lecture Hours, 1.5 Lab Hours, 0 Clinic Hours
Eye movements are described with an emphasis on their functional characteristics. The anatomy and physiology of the extra-ocular muscles and the various neural pathways serving eye movements are presented within a framework of the functions they serve. Emphasis is placed on the basic oculomotor kinematics that will be necessary for clinical interpretation of eye movement disorders. Classes of eye movements that are considered in detail include vestibulo¬ocular and optokinetic eye movements, pursuits, saccades, vergence, fixational eye movements and reading eye movements.
