Question: 1 / 400

What indicates steady fixation during examination of the eyes?

Wandering of fixation

Presence of nystagmus

Saccadic eye movements

Lack of wandering fixation and absence of nystagmus

Steady fixation during examination of the eyes refers to the ability to maintain a stationary gaze on a specific target. Option A, wandering of fixation, would indicate an inability to maintain steady fixation as there is movement involved. Option B, presence of nystagmus, also involves involuntary eye movements which would not indicate steady fixation. Option C, saccadic eye movements, refer to rapid, jumping movements which would not indicate steady fixation either. Thus, the best indicator for steady fixation during examination of the eyes is option D, which mentions the absence of both wandering fixation and nystagmus. This would indicate a successfully maintained steady gaze on the target.
