The Developmental Eye Movement Test Does Not Detect Oculomotor Problems: Evidence from Children with Nystagmus

CONCLUSIONS The DEM test ratio is not sensitive to fixation and saccade abnormalities associated with nystagmus, indicating that it does not have general construct validity to detect true eye movement disorders. Although not suitable for the evaluation of oculomotor disorders, the subtests do have clinical relevance in the diagnosis of cerebral visual impairment.
