Check these settings before working with eye gaze to ensure your iPad is ready! You'll only set these once. Your settings will be saved.

Use Large App Icons: ON
This makes the icons larger, making selection easier.
Movement Tolerance
The movement tolerance setting determines the amount of movement the pointer can have before re-starting the dwell time. A larger area will be more forgiving, and is more appropriate to work with larger icons. For high precision, lower this setting.
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Assistive Touch
Scroll down to Dwell Control area and select “Movement Tolerance” to adjust the distance the cursor can move while dwelling
