Vestibulo-ocular reflex

The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) is a critical mechanism that stabilizes your gaze during head movements. When you turn or tilt your head, the inner ear detects these movements and sends signals to your eye muscles, prompting your eyes to move in the opposite direction. This coordinated action keeps your vision steady, allowing you to focus on objects even while you or your environment is moving. Essentially, VOR helps you see clearly and maintain balance during motion, functioning automatically without conscious effort.
