Refractive errors were present in 15 (50%), predominantly low hyperopia or myopia. Strabismus was identified in four (13%) and moderate to severe conjunctival telangiectasia was present in 20 (67%) patients. Eye movement recordings revealed hypometric saccades, increased latency, impaired smooth pursuit (especially vertical) and frequent nystagmus. Self-paced saccades emerged as the most reliable and interpretable oculomotor measure, with counts over a 30-s period ranging from 8 to 58 (median\u2009=\u200920), reflecting significant variability in volitional eye movement control.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients with A-T exhibit a spectrum of ophthalmic abnormalities, with significant oculomotor dysfunction despite relatively preserved acuity. Self-paced saccade metrics derived from VOG recordings offer a robust and interpretable measure of oculomotor function, and may serve as adjunctive biomarkers for disease monitoring and treatment evaluation. The integration of VOG into clinical assessment provides qualitative and quantitative insights into eye movement control in A-T.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s44402-026-00075-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,8]],"date-time":"2026-04-08T09:18:07Z","timestamp":1775639887000},"page":"527-534","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Ophthalmic and Oculomotor Characteristics in Ataxia-Telangiectasia: A Clinical Cohort Study using Video-Oculography"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"46","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3935-3615","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ann L.","family":"Webber","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2393-0644","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Larry","family":"Abel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heidi Rose","family":"Neilson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6303-6471","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Coman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5940-4769","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martin","family":"Lavin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6413-8231","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matt","family":"Lynch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6129-6736","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert S.","family":"Ware","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7026-8155","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shuan","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"75_CR1","first-page":"573","volume":"39","author":"M Swift","year":"1986","unstructured":"Swift M, Morrell D, Cromartie E, Chamberlin AR, Skolnick MH, Bishop DT.
