We compared the dynamic properties of memory-guided and visually-guided saccade-vergence movements. For memory-guided responses, convergence components were slowed proportionally more than corresponding saccadic components, compared with visually-guided responses. This result is consistent with independent saccadic and vergence systems, and supports a Hering-type model for saccade-vergence interactions.

: Parkinson's disease (PD) frequently affects vergence eye movements interfering with the perception of depth and dimensionality critical for mitigating falls. We examined neural strategies that compensate for abnormal vergence and their mechanistic underpinning in PD.Thehypothesis was that impaired vergence is compensated by incorporating rapid eye movements (saccades) to accomplish gaze shifts at different depths.

The near point of convergence test is widely used to evaluate binocular vision. It assesses the ability of the eyes to converge at short distances. Although the test consists of a pure symmetrical vergence task, small involuntary saccades occur concurrently.

To test this hypothesis we study reading saccades in young students who were diagnosed for vergence disorders before and after vergence rehabilitation. Following orthoptic evaluation and symptomatology screening, 5 weekly sessions of vergence rehabilitation were applied with the REMOBI vergence double step protocole (see Kapoula et al.

Under natural circumstances, saccade-vergence eye movements are among the most frequently occurring. This study examines the properties of such movements focusing on short-term repetition effects. Are such movements robust over time or are they subject to tiredness? 12 healthy adults performed convergent and divergent combined eye movements either in a gap task (i.

Gaucher's disease (GD) is a hereditary lysosomal storage disease characterized by abnormal deposition of glucocerebroside due to the enzyme glucocerebrosidase deficiency, resulting in multi-organ pathology. GD type III has a progressive neurological involvement. We studied the vestibular and saccadic abnormalities in GD type III to determine if these parameters may be useful for assessing neurological involvement.
