The Importance of Eye Movement Testing: Understanding Your RightEye Results

Our eyes do much more than help us see — they guide how we move, balance, read, focus, and even think. Subtle problems with eye movement or visual processing can often go unnoticed, yet they can have a big impact on everyday activities, from learning and reading to coordination and posture. That’s where RightEye testing (eye movement testing) comes in.

What Is RightEye?

RightEye is a computerized, non-invasive eye-tracking assessment that measures how your eyes move — how they track, fixate, and work together.

Using advanced sensors, it records thousands of data points per second to create a detailed map of your eye movement patterns.

It gives us objective information about how your visual system is functioning, far beyond what a standard vision chart can show.

What Does It Measure?

RightEye evaluates several key areas of visual performance:

• Eye tracking: How smoothly your eyes move together when following a moving target.

• Fixation stability: How steady your eyes are when trying to focus on one point.

• Saccades: How quickly and accurately your eyes jump between points (important for reading).

• Vergence and convergence: How well your eyes work together when focusing on near vs far objects.

• Reaction time and visual processing speed: How efficiently your eyes and brain communicate.

Why We Include It in Your Annual Exam

Your vision plays a role in nearly every aspect of your nervous system function — from posture control and balance to fine motor coordination and learning performance.

By testing visual tracking and eye movement, we can:

• Detect issues that may contribute to headaches, dizziness, reading difficulty, or balance challenges.

• Identify visual stress or fatigue patterns that affect performance in school, work, or sport.

• Track neurological function and integration between the eyes and brain.

• Guide targeted care strategies — from eye exercises and visual-motor drills to postural corrections and coordination work.

What Your Results Mean

Your RightEye report breaks down your eye movement function into easy-to-read visuals and scores.
It helps us identify whether your tracking is smooth and coordinated, or whether certain movements are delayed, unsteady, or asymmetrical.

Even small differences can influence how efficiently your brain processes information — and can help explain symptoms like:

• Losing place while reading

• Frequent blinking or squinting

• Poor eye-hand coordination

• Motion sensitivity or dizziness

• Fatigue when reading or using screens

How This Helps Shape Your Care

With this information, we can design a care plan that supports both your visual and postural systems.
This may include:

• Specific visual-motor exercises or gaze stabilization drills

• Posture and vestibular training to improve head and neck control

• Cognitive-motor activities that enhance focus and reaction time

Over time, we can re-test with RightEye to see how your eye movement patterns are improving — an objective way to measure functional progress, not just symptoms.

In Summary

“Vision is more than eyesight — it’s how your brain and body work together through your eyes.”

Your RightEye assessment helps us understand that connection in detail, giving a window into your neurological and functional health. It’s an important part of your annual neurospinal exam, helping us track changes, guide care, and support your long-term development and well-being.
