| Abstract: | Three alternative excursion tests of ocular motility have been compared. A computer model of the mechanics of the extraocular muscles has been used to estimate the tensions developed by the muscles in these tests. On the basis of these calculations we recommend the transverse test in which the positions of the eyes are observed as they track a target moving from the right to the left with a fixed elevation and a fixed depression. |
