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

Turn off access to Control Center in Apps

Motion Reduction: ON 
This feature prevents icons from moving when you are looking at them, providing a more stable and comfortable eyegaze experience.
- Set it up: Go to Settings > Accessibility > Motion
- Toggle ON “Reduce Motion”
Pointer Animation: OFF 
Pointer animations give extra movement to the pointer, something that should be avoided when using eye-gaze.
Turn this off.
