Eyes and Parkinson’s: Research papers
- Movement orientation switching with the eyes and lower limb in Parkinson disease
In PD, switch time and movement velocity of the lower limb, but not the eyes, correlated with bradykinesia and postural instability/gait. Study results suggest that individuals with PD experience movement-switching deficits with both the eyes and lower limb, perhaps driven by overall bradykinesia.

- Visual symptoms in Parkinson's disease and Parkinson's disease dementia
Results demonstrate that different hallucinatory experiences in PD do not necessarily share common disease predictors and may, therefore, be driven by different pathophysiological mechanisms.

- Color vision in Parkinson's disease and essential tremor
The results of this study suggest that color vision abnormalities may be one of the non-motor clinical characteristics of PD-related dysfunction in contrast to ET. In addition, the severity of axial motor symptoms was closely related to visual dysfunction.

- Illusory misidentifications and cortical hypometabolism in Parkinson's disease
These findings suggest that PD patients have impaired visual recognition characterized by illusory misidentifications of visual stimuli, which could be attributed to dysfunction of the visual cortices.

- An exploration of ocular fixation in Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy and progressive supranuclear palsy
Since the basal ganglia are thought to have a role in controlling ocular fixation it is expected that patients with parkinsonian conditions would show impaired performance in fixation tasks. Our study examines ocular fixation in patients with a range of parkinsonian conditions (Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease, Multiple System Atrophy and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy).
