Sequence of eye movements:

When reading, the eyes move in a fixed sequence:

Fixation – gaze jump (saccade) – fixation – saccade – etc.

Reason:

The human eye is too slow to “scan” the text; it can actually only see static images clearly. Only our brain puts these individual images together to form what we perceive as our surroundings.
