While watching TV or reading, our eyes flick back and
forth over the page and TV screen. However, people
who read often also tend to have been in education
longer. Having had good education provides brain reserve capacity so that when connections in the brain
are damaged, the negative result is less.

In other studies, eye movements from left to right and
right to left done quickly (two eye movements per second) were found to improve autobiographical memory (your life story). However, some studies suggest
this beneficial effect of eye movement only benefits
right-handed people. We are not sure why this is.
I provide medico legal reports in personal injury
in various conditions - trips, slips, whiplash injury,
hip surgery, complex pelvic acetabular fractures,
long bone and articular fractures, ankle, lower
limb injuries, hip/knee joint replacements,
periprosthetic fractures, soft tissue injuries and LVI cases.
I also provide clinical negligence related reports in my specialist
area of practice concerning hip and knee replacements, revision
surgery, and trauma including pelvic-acetabular fractures.
Despite these exciting findings, treatment for
memory problems using deliberate eye movements in
older people has not been done that much yet. Also,
using deficits in eye movements as a diagnostic is not
a regular feature, despite the possibilities in eye movement technology.
Instructions from claimant/defendant solicitors or single joint
expert approximately (ratio 45:45:10). I provide the regional
tertiary service in pelvic-acetabular fractures.

One of the bottlenecks may be access to eye-tracking
technologies, which are expensive and require training to use and analyse. Until cheaper and easy-to-use
eye trackers are available, using eye movements as a
diagnostic tool for early-stage Alzheimer’s is not
possible outside the laboratory.
