What is the normal resting of eye?
The normal resting position of the eye, known as the primary position, is when the gaze is directed straight ahead, with the visual axes of both eyes crossing at a point approximately six meters (20 feet) in front of the observer. In this position, the eyes are aligned centrally in the orbits, with the pupils centered in relation to the iris. The muscles surrounding the eyes, including the superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, lateral rectus, superior oblique, and inferior oblique muscles, are in a state of balanced equilibrium, maintaining the eyes' position in the primary gaze. This position allows for optimal visual acuity and binocular vision.
