Abstract
Horizontal eye movements were recorded during tracking and reading in a patient with probable neurological involvement who complained of periods of oscillopsia and severe asthenopia, especially during reading. Saccadic intrusions occurred during all tracking tasks. Single and multiple saccadic intrusions found while reading, frequently accompanied periods of visual disturbance, and we attribute part of the reading disability to the presence of such abnormal eye movements. Various therapeutic measures were attempted and achieved some degree of success.
