The derivation of the contralateral effect from EOG data is presented. The mathematical procedure can be adapted to special experimental conditions, such as unilateral occlusion, and asymmetric fixation, or for instance to a group of patients with unilateral enucleation. The contralateral spread of the standing potential of the eye is significantly shown by the experimental results, and is expressed by a factor f. This factor is of the order of 15% and represents the fraction of the ipsilateral potential that is measured contralaterally. A method is given to correct the EOG data in case of unilateral impairment.
