1. A wearable head device comprising: a see-through display configured to present content to an eye of a user of the wearable head device, such that presenting the content to the eye produces an eye glint; one or more sensors; and one or more processors configured to perform a method comprising: capturing, via the one or more sensors, an image of the eye glint; determining, based on the image of the eye glint, a level of sharpness associated with the content; in accordance with a determination that the level of sharpness is below a threshold, increasing the level of sharpness; and in accordance with a determination that the level of sharpness is not below the threshold, forgoing increasing the level of sharpness; capturing, via the one or more sensors, an image of the iris of the eye; and determining a gaze location of the user based on the image of the eye glint and further based on the image of the iris; wherein increasing the level of sharpness is performed further in accordance with a determination of the gaze location relative to the see-through display.
