hand-eye
Seeing guides doing
Hand-eye describes the coordination between vision and manual movement—the ability to track something with your eyes and respond with your hands: hand-eye coordination.
Athletes, surgeons, and video game players all rely on sharp hand-eye skills.
The term appears almost exclusively in this compound form.
