Inner Ear controls eyesight?

This fascinating site discusses in detail the intricate workings of the vestibular system--that part of the inner ear which helps maintain balance. Problems with this system cause dizziness, or vertigo, but what many people--including some neurologists--don't know is that the vestibular system also plays an important role in controlling ocular reflexes--those eye movements that stabilize vision during head and body movements. Chock-full of precise illustrations and sharp writing, this is a must-read document for medical professionals, rehabilitation therapists, and people suffering from dizziness or vision problems.
