The movement of an eye toward the right side of the body.
From Latin dexter 'right' and ducere 'to lead or move,' plus -tion suffix. Coined in ophthalmology to describe specific directional eye movements.
Your eyes don't just look left and right randomly—they move in coordinated ways controlled by six different muscles, and doctors use these directional movement terms to diagnose eye problems!
