Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Ophthalmology
Background:
- Optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) is a reflexive eye movement.
- Horizontal OKN (hOKN) has been extensively studied in recent decades.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the clinical significance of horizontal optokinetic nystagmus.
- To synthesize existing literature and original research on hOKN.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of optokinetic nystagmus studies.
- Analysis of own research data on hOKN.
Main Results:
- The clinical utility of hOKN is a key focus.
- Extensive research has been conducted on hOKN.
Conclusions:
- hOKN holds clinical relevance.
- Further consideration of hOKN's value is warranted.
