[The optostatic system and abnormal ocular movements].
The function of the oculomotor system is to assure gaze movements. Its equilibrium is essential to allows the stability of gaze, especially fixation. Therefore, an opto-static system is necessary to complete the kinetic organisation of eye movements. A disorder in this opto-static system produces abnormal eye movements. Their appearance depends on the location nd on the nature of the lesion in the opto-static system.
