Whats a bilateral ocular lock?

Step-dads a chiropractor/homeopathic remedy dude. Said he hadnt seen it in 20 years.
Answer:
It sounds like he was using a manaul muscle testing or Applied Kinesiology technique.You were probably laying on your back and had your arm(s) up. Normally your muscle should be strong when you are looking straight and your body is in neutral position.Do you recall which direction you were looking when your muscle went weak? If it were bilateral, it must have become weak when looking either right/left, up-right/up-left, or down-right/down-left.If you can tell me which direction, I can tell you what it meant.
Ocular lock is the term the doctors use to describe a dysfunction of the extra occular muscles. When an occular lock occurs, the muscles that allow our eyes to move in all directions are contracted (shortened and tight) which will greatly reduce its function.Bi-lateral means that it is affecting both sides...(both eyes).***
