Look here!

Are you always having to look up which way the eyes look for a stroke vs seizure?
ย
Hereโs how you can remember which way the eyes deviate!
ย
IRRITATIVE LESIONS (SEIZURE)
If someone is irritating you, you are going to look away.
So eyes deviate AWAY from irritative lesions like a seizure
ย
DESTRUCTIVE LESIONS (STROKE)
Itโs human morbid curiosityโyou canโt help but look at destructive things!
So eyes deviate TOWARD from destructive lesions
ย
Hopefully, now you will never have to look up which direction the patient will look!
