| Description |
In order for us to see an object best, its image must be held steady over the foveal region of the retina. Although the visual system can tolerate some motion of images on the retina, if this motion becomes excessive (more than about 5 degrees/second for Snellen optotypes), vision declines. Furthermore, if the image is moved from the fovea to peripheral retina, it will be seen less clearly. |
