Current concepts of the actions of the extraocular muscles and the interpretation of oculomotility tests.
Contrasting views on the actions of the extraocular muscles are discussed. The contributions made by clinicians are compared to those made by investigators with a background in physical science. It is shown that a clear understanding of the mechanics of the extraocular muscles can be used to increase the efficiency of oculomotility tests.
