The movement of the eyes is primarily controlled by six extraocular muscles that enable various types of movement, including saccades (rapid movements between fixation points), smooth pursuit (tracking moving objects), and vergence (converging or diverging for depth perception). These movements are coordinated by the brain, particularly the brainstem and the visual processing areas. Proper eye movement is crucial for effective visual perception and interaction with the environment, allowing us to focus on objects and maintain visual stability during head movements. Disorders in eye movement can lead to conditions such as strabismus or nystagmus, affecting vision and coordination.
