Eye movement control

Eye movement control involves the brain and the muscles around the eyes working together to position and stabilize our gaze. This allows us to smoothly track moving objects, quickly shift focus between points, and maintain steady vision. Specialized brain areas send signals to eye muscles, coordinating movements such as saccades (quick jumps), smooth pursuit (tracking moving objects), and fixation (steady gaze). This system is essential for accurate vision, reading, and navigation, ensuring our eyes move efficiently and precisely to gather visual information from our environment.
