The mechanisms of how extraocular muscles control eye
movements are not well understood, but are important in
developing treatments for strabismus and other eye
motion disorders. Using standard tagged cardiac MRI
sequences and head coils in a 7T scanner, strain was
measured in the orbital and global components of the
right lateral rectus muscle under horizontal saccadic,
horizontal smooth pursuit, and asymmetric convergence
saccadic motions. The orbital and global layers showed
differences in strain for horizontal saccadic eye
movements but not for asymmetric convergence, which
suggests that these layers move relatively independently
and differing amounts for different horizontal eye
movements.
