Good vision requires images on the retina to be reasonably stable. However, motion of objects in the world, or motion of the eyes in space, can cause images to slip across the retina. If images move across the retina too fast or are too far from the area of greatest sensitivity, vision becomes degraded. Thus, the oculomotor systems serve vision by stabilizing images on the retina despite object or body movements. Control of eye movements is divided among several systems. Failure of these systems lead to specific clinical disorders.
