What are eye muscles?

Eye muscles are the special muscles inside your eyes that help you look around and focus on things.

Imagine your eye is like a toy car. The eye muscles are like the little wheels under the hood, they make the car move so you can see everything clearly. When you look at something close, like a book, or far away, like a bird in the sky, these muscles work hard to help your eyes adjust.

Your eye has six different muscles, each with its own job. Some of them move your eye up and down, others twist it around, just like how you can turn your head in many directions.

When you're reading a storybook or playing a game, your eye muscles are busy all the time, working together to keep everything in focus. They’re like tiny helpers inside your eyes that never take a break!
