Abstract
In a simplified fashion, the motion of the eyeball in its orbit consists of rotations around a fixed point. Therefore, this motion can be described in terms of Euler's angles of rigid body dynamics. However, there is a physiological constraint in the motion of the eye which reduces to two its degrees of freedom, so that one of Euler's angles is not an independent variable. This paper reviews the basic features of the kinematics of the eye and the laws governing its motion. Copyright (C) 1999 Ther College of Optometrists.
