Abstract

Abnormal eye movements may be a result of early abnormal development or a sign of underlying neurological or neuromuscular disease. However, it is important to the clinician to know such abnormalities and to distinguish them from normal but immature eye movements. This paper intends to shed some light on the different types of ocular movements, on how to interpret them in healthy infants and what alterations are found in different visual and neurological diseases.
