Quantitative Analysis of Smooth Pursuit and Saccadic Eye Movements in Multiple Sclerosis.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system, frequently associated with visual and oculomotor disturbances. Quantitative analysis of eye movements represents a non-invasive method for assessing central nervous system dysfunction beyond conventional imaging; however, the diagnostic and predictive value of oculomotor metrics remains insufficiently defined. Objectives: The aims of this study were to compare smooth pursuit gain and reflexive saccade parameters (latency, velocity, and precision) between individuals with MS and healthy controls, and to evaluate their ability to discriminate disease status. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 46 clinically stable patients with MS (EDSS ≤ 6.5) an
