The peak angular speed of the human eye can reach 900 degrees/second during quick, simultaneous movements of both eyes called saccades , which serves as a mechanism for visual fixation.
High-frame-rate video recorded at 700fps highlights the strong inertial forces experienced by the eye during movement. Both the iris and the liquid aqueous humor filling the anterior chamber of the eye can be seen rippling as the eye comes to a sudden stop. While there are diseases and surgical procedures than can exacerbate the amount of motion, this is considered perfectly normal functionality.
