Description

Five researchers measure eye movements in spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 using a continuous tracking task, in a research paper from 2025. This inherited disease is the most common dominant ataxia in the Netherlands. Its eye faults, including crossed gaze at distance, often appear early and cause double vision.

Thirteen confirmed patients tracked a moving target with one eye and with both, under a standardized test. Healthy records served as reference. Patients could follow the target, but their eyes moved out of sync. Large jumps drew several small eye hops instead of one big hop plus a fix. The hop pattern tracked how severe the eye disorder was.
