Eye Coordination

Eye coordination is the ability of both eyes to work together as a team. This teamwork is vital for depth perception, depth judgment and smooth eye movements.

Eyes need to work together as a team.

In order to do their job, your eyes need to work together.

Let’s take a look at how this happens:

• When you look at an object, both of your eyes are focused on it. Your brain receives information from each eye and combines them in order to seethe object clearly.
• Your eyes can move in different directions (up/down, left/right),but they usually move together when you scan the world around you. For example, when reading or watching TV, both of your eyes will turn right or left as needed so that each eye focuses on a different part of what you are looking at. This makes things easier for your brain because it doesn't have to process two images at once (like looking out of two different windows).
• When focusing on something very close up (like reading words), one eye may be looking directly at an object while the other is turned slightly away from it so that both eyes can focus on different parts of any one object more easily

When you look at an object, your eyes automatically move in the direction of the object, focus on it, and make sense of what you see.

Your eyes are the most important part of your body. They allow you to see and comprehend the world around you. When looking at an object, both eyes work together to allow you to see clearly and easily. As soon as you look at something, each eye moves in the direction of what they're focused on. Then that eye focuses on it while its counterpart helps make sense of what it's seeing (this is called binocular vision). The two sides are then able to communicate with each other so that whatever image is being viewed is completely clear and understandable.

This teamwork is vital for depth perception, depth judgment and smooth eye movements.

Your eyes work in tandem to help you see the world around you. The coordination between your eyes plays a role in depth perception, depth judgment and smooth eye movements.

Eye coordination is important for maintaining a steady gaze on an object. If one of your eyes moves off target while reading this sentence, it may be difficult to read certain words or sentences because they are out of focus. This can happen when one eye doesn't track with the other during saccades (rapid eye movements). Saccades are very quick jerky movements that move the center of focus from one point by as much as 15 degrees within 100 milliseconds (0.1seconds).
