“…BackgroundPatients with vestibular and ocular motor disorders often perceive oscillopsia, diplopia or visual hallucinations as their chief complaint. However, they often struggle with verbalizing these subjective ocular motor and visual-perceptual signs precisely, which complicates a correct diagnostic classification of the suspected pathogenic mechanism.MethodsIn this multinational and cross-cultural feasibility study, a novel pictogram-based scale of 10 common ocular motor and visual-perceptual symptoms (called Pictogram Ocular Motor and Visual-Perceptual Symptom Scale, POVSS) was developed and validated. …”
