Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex

The reflex that stabilizes gaze during head movement — keeps vision clear while moving.

The Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) is a reflex that stabilizes visual images on the retina during head movement. When the head turns, the eyes automatically move in the opposite direction to maintain a stable view of the world.

Function

  • Enables clear vision during movement
  • Foundation for visual navigation
  • Contributes to the feeling of stability within flow
  • Involves vestibular system, brainstem, and eye muscles

In ONDA Life

Part 2 trains VOR as part of "stabilizing gaze while the head is in motion." This is the foundation for visual navigation and the feeling of stability within the flow — essential for moving through space with confidence.
