'with' movement
Explanation:
Skiaskopie = retinoscopy

Static retinoscopy is a type of retinoscopy used in determining a patient's refractive error. It relies on Foucault's principle, which states that the examiner should simulate optical infinity to obtain the correct refractive power. Hence, a power corresponding to the working distance is subtracted from the gross retinoscopy value to give the patient's refractive condition, the working distance lens being one which has a focal length of the examiner's distance from the patient (e.g. +2.00 dioptre lens for a 50 cm working distance). Myopes display an "against" reflex, which means that the direction of movement of light observed from the retina is a different direction to that in which the light beam is swept. Hyperopes, on the other hand, display a "with" movement, which means that the direction of movement of light observed from the retina is the same as that in which the light beam is swept.

Skiaskop

Ophthalmologisches Instrument, das dazu bestimmt ist, objektiv Refraktionsfehler des Auges zu ermitteln, indem ein Lichtbündel über einen Spiegel in das Auge reflektiert und die Bewegung des von der Netzhaut zurückgeworfenen Lichtes durch die Pupille beobachtet wird.

but better still, I think, Is the term "CONJUGATE" movement of the eyes
conjugate movement is a sychronous movement;
two parts moving synchronously in the same direction, e.g. the eyes

Reference: "with" movement

Reference information:
In young children, eye drops which paralyse the ability of the eye to focus are used. A technique known as retinoscopy (objective refraction) Is then used to find out which lenses are needed. Figure 2.1 shows that a short sighted eye brings light to a focus in front of the retina and that a lower ray hits the upper retina, but in a long sighted eye this ray hits the lower retina. The view through a retinoscope is the same as for a flash photograph. A red glow is seen in the pupil. When the retinoscope moves, the red glow moves. In short sighted eyes the red glow moves in the opposite direction to the movement of the retinoscope (because the light rays cross inside the eye) but in long sighted eyes the red glow moves in the same direction as the retinoscope is moving. So all the refractionist (optician or ophthalmologist) has to do is to find out which lens in front of the eye is accompanied by no movement of the red glow. From this knowledge the lens required is calculated. Older children and adults are asked which lens suits them best in a structured process of trial and error known as subjective refraction.

a) Weitsichtigkeit = Mitläufigkeit
Bei einem weitsichtigen Auge wandere die Lichtquelle auf der „Netzhaut“ nach rechts. Dann wandert der schattierte Bereich in Abb. 2, d. h. der ins Arztauge fallende Teil des Lichts, e-benfalls nach rechts. Die Bewegungsrichtung von Lichtquelle und Leuchterscheinung ist gleichgerichtet. Dies nennt man Mitläufigkeit.
b) Kurzsichtigkeit = Gegenläufigkeit
Analog liest man aus Abb. 3 ab, dass Lichtquelle und Leuchterscheinung sich gegenläufig bewegen. Daran erkennt der Arzt die Kurzsichtigkeit.

using a retinoscope, assess the accuracy of the accommodation response by observing the
retinoscope reflex. A ‘neutral’ reflex will be seen if the child is focusing accurately on the
target. A ‘with’ movement will be seen if the child is focusing behind the target, i.e. has
reduced accommodation

In retinoscopy the terms Mitläufigkeit and Gegenläufigkeit seem to be called 'with' movement and 'against' movement.

I am submitting this as a reference comment only, because eyes are not my speciality.
