VOR (Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex)

The Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) is a natural eye movement mechanism that helps maintain stable vision when your head moves. When you turn or tilt your head, the VOR automatically adjusts your eye positioning, allowing you to keep your gaze focused on a target, despite the motion. This reflex is crucial for activities like walking or running, as it helps prevent blurriness and enables us to see clearly while in motion. The VOR links the inner ear's balance system to the muscles controlling eye movements, ensuring our visual stability and coordination.
