Abstract

Measurement of the characteristics of eye movements may provide important information in several neurological disorders. Timely course, progression of the disease, and the efficacy of the therapy can be followed up with the objective methods. The essence of electrophysiological methods is that in addition to the morphological evaluation of eye movements, it makes certain characteristics of the eye movements, their latency, speed, and amplitude measurable. Evaluation of conjugated eye movements becomes possible as well if these parameters are compared when the two eyes are moving in the same direction.
