Oculomotor Dysfunction in Parkinson’s Disease
Journal Title: European Journal of Geriatrics and Gerontology - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Parkinson’s disease and associated wide variety of ocular features are very common. One of the most notable findings includes oculomotor. Since reading includes a proper synchronization of accommodation, vergence and versional movements, thus, a defect in any of this system will impair one’s ability to read and track letters while reading and writing. A comprehensive oculomotor assessment is an essential element in diagnosing any underlying oculomotor defect in Parkinson’s disease.
