The "gain" of the VOR is defined as the change in the eye angle divided by the change in the head angle during the head turn. Ideally the gain of the rotational VOR is 1.0. The gain of the horizontal and vertical VOR is usually close to 1.0, but the gain of the torsional VOR (rotation around the line of sight) is generally low.<ref name="Crawford1991"/> The gain of the translational VOR has to be adjusted for distance, because of the geometry of motion parallax. When the head translates, the angular direction of near targets changes faster than the angular direction of far targets.<ref name="Angelaki2004"/>
If the gain of the VOR is wrong (different from 1)
[[Ethanol]] consumption can disrupt the VOR, reducing dynamic visual acuity.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Schmäl F, Thiede O, Stoll W | title = Effect of ethanol on visual-vestibular interactions during vertical linear body acceleration | journal = Alcoholism, Clinical and Experimental Research | volume = 27 | issue = 9 | pages = 1520–6 | date = September 2003 | pmid = 14506414 | doi = 10.1097/01.ALC.0000087085.98504.8C | url = http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=15155766 }}</ref>
