About the Vision and Eye Movements Session
Eye movements are a measurable characteristic that can be used to learn more about cognitive and visual processing. Saccades, smooth pursuit movements, vergence movements, and vestibulo-ocular movements are the four primary types of eye movements. Although eye movements have been studied for a long time, it is only in the last few decades that their quantification has led to significant insights into psychological processes such as reading, visual search, and scene perception. Our eyes move every 200-350 milliseconds while reading, examining a visual array for a target, or simply staring at a new scene. These eye movements are used to direct the fovea (the high-resolution region of the retina that covers 2 degrees at the center of the visual field) to a point of interest so that it can process it more thoroughly.

Vision and Eye Movements Conference 2027 — FAQs
What is the Vision and Eye Movements track at IOC 2027?
The Vision and Eye Movements track is a dedicated stream within IOC 2027 covering the latest research, clinical innovation, and best practice in Vision and Eye Movements. It brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners for oral presentations, posters, and discussion.
Who should attend the Vision and Eye Movements sessions?
Ophthalmologists, optometrists, vision scientists, educators, doctoral students, and trainees with an interest in Vision and Eye Movements are all welcome — whether presenting or attending.
Can I present my research in the Vision and Eye Movements track?
Yes. Submit an abstract for oral or poster presentation. All submissions are peer-reviewed by the scientific committee; accepted abstracts appear in the indexed proceedings.
Is virtual attendance available for Vision and Eye Movements sessions?
Yes. IOC 2027 is a hybrid conference — attend the Vision and Eye Movements track in person in Singapore or join live online, with on-demand access afterward.
