Ophthalmology is a specialized branch of medicine dedicated to preserving and improving vision through comprehensive diagnosis, treatment, and management of eye diseases and disorders. Ophthalmologists, as highly trained medical doctors, provide a wide range of eye care services. They conduct thorough eye examinations, prescribe corrective lenses, diagnose various eye conditions, and offer treatments including surgical interventions such as cataract removal, LASIK vision correction, and repairs for retinal detachment. Their expertise ensures patients receive tailored care to maintain optimal eye health and visual function.

Vision science integrates various disciplines to explore the complexities of the visual system. This interdisciplinary field delves into the mechanics of visual perception, the intricate workings of ocular anatomy and physiology, principles of optics, neural processes, and the psychology of vision. Researchers in vision science investigate how the eyes and brain collaborate to interpret visual information, striving to enhance diagnostic methodologies and therapeutic approaches for ocular conditions.

Eye movements are fundamental for understanding how we perceive and interact with our surroundings. They include saccades, smooth pursuit, vergence, and vestibulo-ocular movements. Recent advances in measuring these movements have greatly enhanced our understanding of cognitive processes like reading and visual search. During tasks such as reading, our eyes move every 200-350 milliseconds to focus the high-resolution fovea on points of interest within the visual field, enabling detailed processing.
