2011, Handbook of Clinical NeurologyCitation Excerpt :A related problem is spasm of fixation (Holmes, 1930). Today this is defined as a problem with initiating saccades away from a fixation point that remains visible (Johnston et al., 1992; Nyffeler et al., 2005). Once saccades are generated, there may be gross inaccuracies in saccadic targeting, causing the eyes to make a series of wandering saccades in search of the target, which is still visible (Holmes, 1918b; Luria et al., 1962).
