Retinal basement membrane abnormalities and the retinopathy of Alport syndrome.

abstract：PURPOSE:During fixation and saccades, human eye movements obey Listing's law, which specifies the torsional eye position for each combination of horizontal and vertical eye positions. To study the mechanisms that implement Listing's law, the authors measured whether the law was violated in peripheral and central unilat...
