oculomotor function
Oculomotor function refers to the movement and coordination of the eyes, which is primarily controlled by a group of muscles and nerves. The main cranial nerve involved is the oculomotor nerve, which helps control most eye movements, adjusting focus (like looking at something close versus far away) and regulating the size of the pupil in response to light. Proper oculomotor function is essential for clear vision, depth perception, and smoothly tracking moving objects. When these functions are impaired, it can lead to issues like double vision or difficulty focusing, affecting overall visual experience.
