Additionally, given the relatively simple neural arrangement of the eye (small number of synapses between detector and effector), as well as the extremely large diameter of some ocellar interneurons (often the largest diameter neurons in the animal's nervous system), the ocelli are typically considered to be "faster" than the compound eyes.
Selain itu, mengingat susunan saraf relatif sederhana dari mata (sejumlah kecil sinapsis antara detektor dan efektor), serta diameter yang sangat besar pada beberapa interneuron oselus (sering kali neuron memiliki diameter terbesar pada sistem saraf hewan), oselus biasanya dianggap "lebih cepat" dari mata majemuk.
