Saccade

A saccade is a quick, simultaneous movement of both eyes that shifts your focus from one point to another. These rapid jumps usually last just a few milliseconds and occur automatically when you scan a scene or read. Saccades allow your eyes to efficiently gather visual information by quickly relocating the gaze to areas of interest, helping you process details smoothly. They are essential for activities like reading, driving, or exploring your environment, enabling continuous and coordinated visual perception without your conscious effort.
