Preferred term

eye movements during fixation  

Definition

  • As you read this, your eyes are rapidly flicking from left to right in small hops, bringing each word sequentially into focus. When you stare at an object, your eyes will similarly dart here and there, resting momentarily at one place on the object, and then moving to another.
