Smooth Pursuit
Smooth Pursuit is a type of eye movement that allows the eyes to closely follow a moving object. This ability helps maintain a clear image of the object as it moves across the visual field. Smooth pursuit is essential for activities like tracking a ball in sports or following a person walking.
During smooth pursuit, the eyes move in a coordinated manner, adjusting their position to keep the target in focus. This process involves complex interactions between the brain, visual system, and muscles around the eyes. Smooth pursuit is crucial for effective visual perception and coordination in daily activities.
