Classification

Ophthalmoparesis can involve any or all of the extraocular muscles, which include the superior recti, inferior recti, medial recti, lateral recti, inferior oblique and superior oblique muscles.

It can also be classified by the directions of affected movements, e.g. "vertical ophthalmoparesis".

Types of ophthalmoplegia are:

• Progressive external ophthalmoplegia
• Supranuclear ophthalmoplegia
