Definitions
Noun
- 1 Torsional movement of the eye (rotational movement that does not shift the centre of the pupil).
"In measuring eye position, for instance, both Fick and Wundt had adopted procedures which did not treat the co-ordinate frame of the primary position as fundamental. Rather, they related cyclorotations to the visual plane—which is variable—instead of to the horizontal in the primary position."
