Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association and Vestibular Disorders Asociation Offer New Educational Resource on the Vestibular-Vision Connection

Vision plays a significant role in our ability to balance, orient ourselves in space, and process movement of things in our environment. The vestibular (inner ear balance) system and the visual system coordinate with each other through brain pathways in order to control the eyes’ ability to maintain a visual gaze on a single location. This connection, known as the vestibulo-ocular reflex, has a critical role in producing eye movements and stabilizing the image during head motion and helping us to maintain our balance.
