Microsaccade

Okay kiddo, let's talk about microsaccades. Microsaccades are tiny eye movements that happen when we look at something. You know how sometimes your eyes move a little bit, even when you're trying to keep them still? That's a microsaccade!

Our eyes are always moving a little bit, even when we don't really notice. This is because our eyes need to keep moving to keep the image we're looking at focused on our retinas. But sometimes, our eyes move a little bit too much or in the wrong direction, and this can make things look blurry or fuzzy.

That's where microsaccades come in! They help our eyes stay focused on what we're looking at by making tiny little corrections to our eye movements. They happen really fast, so we usually don't even notice them. In fact, they happen so quickly that it's hard for scientists to study them!

But even though microsaccades are really small and fast, they're actually really important for our vision. Without them, everything we looked at would be blurry and hard to see. So thank your eyes for making those tiny little movements to keep everything in focus!
