The optical axis is an imaginary line that passes through the center of a lens or mirror, while the visual axis is the line connecting the fovea (center of the retina) to the object being viewed. The optical axis is used in optics to describe the path of light through a lens system, while the visual axis describes the line of sight in relation to the eye.
