ocular motility

Ocular motility refers to the movements of the eyes, which allow us to look in different directions, track moving objects, and maintain focus on something. These movements are controlled by six small muscles around each eye that work together to coordinate the eye's position. Proper eye movement is essential for clear vision, depth perception, and reading. When ocular motility functions properly, your eyes can smoothly follow objects and work together to give a unified view. If these movements are disrupted, it can lead to double vision, crossing of the eyes, or difficulty focusing.
