saccades
Saccades are quick, simultaneous movements of both eyes that shift focus from one point to another. These rapid eye movements help us scan our environment and gather visual information efficiently. Saccades occur naturally when reading, watching moving objects, or looking around a room.
During a saccade, the eyes can move at speeds of up to 900 degrees per second. This process is essential for visual perception, allowing the brain to create a stable image despite the constant movement of our eyes. Saccades are a fundamental aspect of how we interact with the world around us.
