Summary
This study tests whether doing eye exercises in virtual reality can help people with certain eye nerve palsies move their eyes more. The VR scene moves with the person's head while they do visual tasks. The goal is to see if this improves eye movement range. The study involves 40 participants with abducens palsy or internuclear ophthalmoplegia.
