DUCTION
A 'duction' is an eye movement involving only one eye[1]. There are generally six possible movements depending upon the eye's axis of rotation:
#Abduction refers to the outward movement of an eye.
#Adduction refers to the inward movement of an eye
#Supraduction / sursumduction / elevation
#Infraduction / deorsumduction / depression
#Incycloduction / intorsion
#Excycloduction / extorsion
