H51: Other disorders of binocular movement
H51.2: Internuclear ophthalmoplegia
The brain controls eye movement. It is responsible for moving both eyes at the same time and in the same direction. This is vital for our vision. Damage to certain parts of the brain can lead to problems with eye movement.
In your case, eye movement is impaired. One or both eyes can have this impairment in eye movement. When you look at an object to the side, then the affected eye can find it more difficult to look towards the nose. The other eye can make jerky, involuntary movements.
