Oculomotor Function
Oculomotor function refers to the control of eye movements, which is essential for visual tracking and focusing. It involves several cranial nerves, primarily the oculomotor nerve, which innervates most of the eye muscles. These muscles allow the eyes to move in various directions, adjust focus, and coordinate movements for depth perception.
Proper oculomotor function is crucial for activities such as reading, driving, and sports. Dysfunction can lead to issues like double vision or difficulty in focusing, which may require assessment by an eye care professional. Treatments can include exercises, glasses, or other interventions to improve coordination and visual clarity.
