I found out the other night that an eye problem I had for awhile was called ocular gyro crisis. Where my eyes roll to the back of my head . They took me off fluphenazine and gave contigen. I am still on Abilify which I hear can cause it too. I am trying to find more info about it but I cannot seem to find anything on it. Please can someone get more info for me. Thanks.

The exact term is "Oculogyric crisis" which may have tripped up your searches.
"oculogyric crisis - a spasmodic attack; marked by fixation of the eyeballs in one position, usually upward. "
A bare but accurate discussion is to be found at the site below.
Although distressing when occuring, it seems to have no connection with any permanent eye damage or problem.
It's not always caused by a reaction to medication, and can occue in a range of conditions.
