About Eye Movement Abnormality

Eye movement abnormality is not a single procedure but a diagnostic assessment performed by an ophthalmologist to evaluate conditions affecting the control and coordination of eye movements. This comprehensive evaluation involves a series of clinical tests to analyze how the eyes track objects, move between points (saccades), converge for near vision, and maintain alignment. The specialist assesses for conditions like strabismus (misalignment), nystagmus (involuntary shaking), or gaze palsies. The goal is to diagnose underlying neurological, muscular, or congenital disorders affecting the visual system. This assessment is crucial for determining the cause of symptoms like double vision, blurred vision, dizziness, or reading difficulties, and forms the basis for creating an effective treatment plan, which may include vision therapy, prisms, medication, or in some cases, surgery.
