[Use of a photoelectronic device for recording micromovements of the eyes in neurologic clinical practice].
A photoelectronic device was used to record micromovements of the eyes in 110 patients with disorders of the functions of the oculomotor apparatus (myasthenia, myopathia, malignant exophthalm, basal paralysis, nuclear paralysis, cerebral tumours). The number of spontaneous leaps, their direction, amplitude and the rate of reflex and spontaneous leaps were counted up; on the basis of this an assymetry coefficient which made it possible to qualitatively evaluate the degree of the oculomotor apparatus affection was calculated, this plays a significant part in neurological practice.
