title: [Infrared reflection method for recording horizontal eye movements. An improved version for routine diagnostic studies].
abstract: Basically, the infrared reflection method for recording of horizontal eye movements has been conceived in the fifties already. The method has proved to be a valuable tool for recording of eye movements, particularly saccades. More recently there is increasing interest in recording of horizontal saccades for diagnostic purposes. Previous versions of this method, however, were not suitable for routine recordings. After several technical improvements the method now is ready for routine recordings of horizontal eye movements in the diagnosis of neurological and opthalmological disorders. In order to accentuate the strengths and weaknesses of the infrared reflection method, it is compared with DC-Electrooculography.
