Title: Identification of Abnormal Patterns in Eye Movements of Schizophrenic Patients
Abstract: • Using precise infrared recording instrumentation, we measured the eye-movement patterns in six schizophrenic patients who were taking medication and found saccadic intrusions and saccadic smooth-pursuit tracking in three. This defined some of the eye-movement irregularities reported previously by many investigators. A variety of eye-movement functions in addition to smooth pursuit exhibited these abnormalities, including fixation, vergence, and head-eye pursuit. Saccadic intrusions or saccadic pursuit also occurs in a number of neuro-ophthalmologic disorders, and occasionally In healthy normal subjects. Thus, these eye-movement abnormalities do not occur exclusively in schizophrenia.
