vestibular-ocular reflex (VOR)

The vestibular-ocular reflex (VOR) is a natural process that stabilizes your vision during head movements. When you turn or move your head, sensors in your inner ear detect these motions and send signals to your eye muscles. In response, your eyes automatically adjust their position to maintain steady gaze on an object, preventing blurriness. This reflex acts very quickly and involuntarily, allowing you to see clearly and maintain balance while in motion. It's essential for activities like walking, running, or shifting focus from one point to another without losing sight or feeling dizzy.
