Axes of FICK X-axis a transverse
axis passing through the center of the eye at the equator
Y-axis a sagital axis passing through the pupil
Z-axis a vertical axis
2
Voluntary vertical rotations of the eye occur about X axis
Voluntary horizontal rotations of the eye occur about Z axis
Involuntary torsional rotations of the eye occur about Y axis
3
listing’s equatorial plane
The center of rotation and includes the
X and Z axes The Y axis is
perpendicular to this plane
4
Positions of Gaze
Primary position : straight ahead Secondary positions : straight
up ,straight down, right ,left Tertiary positions : up & right, up & left,
down & right, down & left
5
Arc of contact
The point of effective or physiologic insertion is the tangential point where the muscle first contacts the globe
The action of the eye muscle : a vector of force that acts at this tangential point to rotate the eye
The length of muscle actually in contact with the globe

Monocular eye movements
Adduction:movement of the eye nasally Abduction:movement of the eye temporally Elevation (supraduction): upward rotation Depression (infraduction): downward rotation Intorsion (incycloduction):nasal rotation of
the superior portion of the vertical corneal meridian
Extorsion(excycloduction):temporal rotation of the superior portion of the vertical corneal meridian
13
Agonist: the primary muscle moving the eye in a given direction
Synergist: the muscle in the same eye as the agonist that acts with the agonist to produce a given movement
Antagonist: the muscle in the same eye as the agonist that acts in the direction opposite to that of the agonist
14
Sherrington’s law
Increased innervational and contraction of a given muscle are accompanied by a reciprocal decrease in innervation and contraction of its antagonist
15
Binocular eye movements
Version: eye movements conjugate and the eyes move in the same direction
Vergence: eye movements disconjugate and the eyes move in opposite directions
16
versions
Dextroversion : movement of both eyes to the patient’s right
Levoversion : movement of both eyes to the patient’s left
Elevation : upward rotation of both eyes Depression : downward ratation of both eyes Dextrocycloversion : both eyes rotate so that the
superior portion of the vertical corneal meridian moves to the patient’s right
Levocycloversion : movement of both eyes so that the superior portion of the vertical corneal meridian rotates to the patient’s left
17
Yoke muscles
Two muscles (one in each eye ) that are the prime movers of their respective eyes in a given position of gaze
18
Cardinal positions
The six positions of gaze in which one muscle of each eye is the prime mover are known as the cardinal positions of gaze
19
20
Hering’s law
Equal and simultaneous innervation flows to yoke muscles concerned with the desired direction of gaze
Important clinical implications especially when dealing with a paralytic or restrictive strabismus
21
Primary deviation: the amount of misalignment when the normal eye is fixating
Secondary deviation: the amount of misalignment when the paretic or restrictive eye is fixating
The secondary deviation is larger than the primary deviation
22
vergence
Convergence: movement of both eyes nasally relative to a given position
Divergence: movement of both eyes temporally relative to a given position
Vertical vergence: less frequently encountered ,can also occur; one eye moves upward and the other downward
23
Incyclovergence : a rotation of both eyes so that the superior portion of each vertical corneal meridian rotates the toward the median plane
Excyclovergence : a rotation of both eyes so that the superior portion of each vertical meridian rotates away from the median plane
24
Tonic convergence :the constant innervational tone to the extraocular muscles when a person is awake and alert
Accommodative convergence of the visual axes : part of the synkinetic near reflex
Voluntary convergence : a conscious application of the near synkinesis
