Apparently, Kirk’s eye muscles aren’t affected by the Kelvin paralysis field.

Kirk has trouble keeping his eyes open…or shut.

He's also still breathing so I take it that minor movements are still allowed.“By Any Other Name”

But, but, but…Spock and McCoy are frozen solid. Kirk must have very flexible eye muscles.
It's all that reading ol' "stack of books with legs" used to do. Kept him nimble of eye...until he reached a certain age and needed glasses.
Yeah. The dialogue says that the paralysis field neutralizes impulses to the voluntary muscles. Plenty of room for interpretation there. Uhura also blinks noticeably as Hanar reports the Enterprise's capture from her station.
And half the time, men are frozen in mid-point.
I get they wanted to make it look like they were all frozen in the middle of some kind of action, they make McCoy just totally not take it seriously and starts making comments to Spock instead of actually listening or being concerned about Rojan.
Actually he reminds me of my son as a child. He was a handful with ADHD, never paying attention and doing his own thing when we needed him to focus. So here, while other stuff was going on, Bones is making gun gestures at Spock whispering "T'Pau! T'Pau!"
“Doomsday Machine” and various other episodes…
The ship may rock and roll, but the chairs never swing or fall over.

Interesting. Thank you for that info.

A nice side effect of being allergic to Retinax V is that your eyes remain flexible enough to be immune to paralysis fields. #NewHeadcanonBut, but, but…Spock and McCoy are frozen solid. Kirk must have very flexible eye muscles.

Gravity chairs. But only helps if you have seatbelts.
A feature sadly not present aboard the USS Defiant
The Defiant crew might have gone mad and turned them off
Point taken. I'm fairly sure we can find some scenes on the Enterprise where the chairs are knocked over as well...
Only one that I'm aware of - from the beginning of Tomorrow Is Yesterday
Other than that the set dressers did a pretty good job of maintaining the (quite sensible) illusion that the chairs were bolted to the floor
"By Any Other Name." When Kirk fights Rojan, chairs not only go down, one of them even gets its high back knocked right off.
