Two common ones are Strabismus - a disorder in which the two eyes don't line up in the same direction. This results in "crossed eyes" or "walleye."[icdlist.com]
The limitations of eye movements resulting from the condition are generally so severe that the affected individual is unable to maintain normal alignment of their eyes when looking straight ahead, leading to strabismus and, as a consequence, double vision[en.wikipedia.org]

Generally, patients present with blepharoptosis, limitation in eye movements accompanied by strabismus and a dilated pupil reacting to light. [9] Most reports have stated ischemia as the most common cause of the oculomotor nerve paralysis. [4] , [5] Although[jovr.org]
A few key points once more: The oculomotor palsy is characterized by unilateralptosis and an eye that is down and out. Pupil dilation suggests compression, possibly by berry aneurysm.[eyes.gp-surgery.com]
Thus, unilateralptosis indicates that only the brainstem fascicles were affected.[frontiersin.org]
A patient with acute CN III palsy usually presents with a sudden onset of unilateralptosis and ophthalmoplegia, which is frequently accompanied by significant eye or head pain––depending on the underlying cause. 1-4 Such patients often complain of double[reviewofoptometry.com]
Therefore, while almost all forms ('medical third' and 'surgical third') cause ptosis and impaired movement of the eye, pupillaryabnormalities are more commonly associated with trauma and the 'surgical third' than with ischemia, ie the 'medical third[en.wikipedia.org]

Neurobrucellosis affects the second, third, sixth, seventh, and eighth cranialnerves. Involvement of the oculomotor nerves is a very rare complication in neurobrucellosis although several adult cases have been reported.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurobrucellosis is most frequently observed with meningitis and has numerous complications, including meningocephalitis, myelitis, cranial nerve paralyses, radiculopathy, and neuropathy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
