Answer:
The statement is true. The vestibulo-ocular reflex ensures stable vision by moving the eyes in the opposite direction of the head.
Explanation:
The vestibulo-ocular reflex is a reflection of ocular movement that stabilizes the image in the retina during the movement of the head, producing an eye movement in the opposite direction to the movement of the head, conserving the image in the center of the visual field. For example, when the head moves to the right, the eyes move to the left, and vice versa. As there are slight movements of the head at all times, the RVO is very important to stabilize the vision: patients who have damaged RVO find it difficult to read printed media, because they can not stabilize the eyes during small tremors of the head.
