- view video - Shifting gaze towards target (either left or right side). Initial head turn towards the target results in ocular rotation in the orbit in the direction opposite to the head movement (due to preserved vestibulo-ocular reflex). The eyes then perform saccadic and slow movement towards the target. This characteristic pattern of head-eye coordination is due to defect in the initiation of voluntary ocular saccades. Eye closure reduces the gain of vestibulo-ocular reflex and the observed eyeblink aids in reducing the degree of reflex eye movement.
