Tiny eye movements and density of our photoreceptors aid in sharp vision.

When we fixate on an object, our eyes make subtle, continuous movements.

Researchers from the University Hospital Bonn and the University of Bonn investigated how sharp vision is linked to these tiny eye movements.

Eye movements are finely tuned to provide optimal sampling by cones.

Drift behavior adjusted to retinal areas with higher cone density, improving sharp vision.

The length and direction of these drift movements played a key role.

The findings provide new insights into the fundamental relationship between eye physiology and vision.

"Understanding how the eye moves optimally to achieve sharp vision can help us to better understand ophthalmological and neuropsychological disorders," says Wolf Harmening .
