Eye Tracking & Coordination
This is how well your eyes move, follow, and work together to focus on objects smoothly. These skills are essential for reading, playing sports, driving, and even everyday tasks like pouring a drink or catching a ball. To measure this we use a special test called the RightEye Sensorimotor Exam

Why is Eye Tracking Important?
Your eyes aren’t just cameras that take in images—they’re high-speed processors that must move accurately to send information to the brain. Weak eye tracking can make reading, focusing, and hand-eye coordination much harder.
💡 Think of it like this: If your eyes don’t move smoothly across a page, it’s like a skipping video—the information gets choppy, and your brain struggles to keep up!

Types of Eye Tracking & Coordination Skills
Smooth Pursuits (Following Moving Objects)
Example: Watching a car drive by or tracking a thrown ball.
Saccades (Quick Eye Movements Between Objects)
Example: Jumping between words while reading or scanning a room for a friend.
Fixation (Steady Gaze on One Point)
Example: Holding focus on a word when reading or watching a speaker.
Depth Perception (Using Both Eyes Together for Distance Judgment)
Example: Catching a ball, driving, or walking down stairs.

What Happens When Eye Tracking is Weak?
Children and adults with poor eye tracking may:
❌ Lose their place while reading
❌ Skip words or lines
❌ Struggle with hand-eye coordination (sports, writing, balance)
❌ Have trouble copying from the board in class
❌ Feel dizzy or disoriented when objects move fast

How do you test Eye tracking and coordination?
We use special equipment called the RightEye Sensorimotor machine that automatically measures how the eyes move while looking back and forth between two points and how well the eyes hold a steady gaze.
