Doll's eyes - a maneuver designed to determine if the eye movement control centers in the brainstem are working. If you take a comatose patient and gently roll the head side to side, it is a good sign if the eyes move opposite to the head (like a baby doll). That means the vestibular system is working and a reflex eye movement is working. However, if the eyes just stay fixed with respect to the head, that isn't such a good sign. Again, that is a test to assess the function of brainstem. Hope this helps!!
