Full-field optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) at constant speed of 40 0/s and 60 0/s, vestibular ocular reflex (VOR) (sinusoidal 0.2 Hz, 60 0/s peak velocity) with different background (light and dark) and VOR-fix were observed in 72 normal subjects (144 normal eyes). The gain, FCV and DP of OKN, VVOR, VOR were also analysed. The gain of OKN is reduced accompanied with stimulation increasing, while the FCV is increased. The gain of VVOR is 1.08 +/- 0.09 (X +/- SD), while the gain of VOR is 0.64 +/- 0.09. The FCV of VOR is much reduced than that of VVOR. The FCV in the groups under 30 years of age are much faster than the groups above 30 years of age. The VOR--fix gain is 0.05 +/- 0.04. The DP of OKN, VVOR, and VOR are 0.05 +/- 0.04. The results showed an co-operation between visual and vestibular systems and the results also suggested that the series methods of visual-vestibular interaction (OKN, VVOR, VOR, VOR-fix) might be useful in eye movement examination.
