Routine Eye Examination - Extraocular Movements


Extraocular Movements

This is a test done to see the movements of the eye in all the directions of gaze.

The patient is asked to track a pen or the examiner’s finger which is moved in the patient’s visual field. Any restrictions or weakness in eye movements is picked up which may be due to fractures of the orbital bones, nerve palsies or myopathies.
