Saccadic Movements

Saccadic movements are rapid, simultaneous movements of both eyes as they shift focus from one point to another. These quick eye movements help us scan our environment by allowing us to quickly shift our gaze to different objects or areas of interest. Saccades occur frequently when we read or look around, enabling the brain to build a cohesive view of what we see. They are essential for visual perception, allowing us to process information efficiently, and they happen so fast—often within milliseconds—that we are usually unaware of them.
