A fast, automatic reflex that keeps your vision steady when your head moves. Your inner ear senses head motion and signals the brain to move the eyes in the opposite direction at the same speed, so images stay clear instead of blurring or “bouncing.” When the VOR is not working well, people may notice dizziness, unstable vision with movement (oscillopsia), and balance difficulty—especially while walking or turning the head.
