Eyes are one of the most important channels we use to gather information and make
sense of the world around us. We also use our eyes to express how we feel knowingly or
unwittingly in a way that is often more powerful than spoken words.
Eyes are the organ of sight, in vertebrates typically one of a pair of spherical bodies contained
in an orbit of the skull and in humans appearing externally as a dense, white, curved membrane, or
sclera, surrounding a circular, colored portion, or iris, that is covered by a clear, curved
membrane, or cornea, and in the center of which is an opening, or pupil, through which light
passes to the retina. The human eye is one of nature's wonders and functions like a photo
camera. Only that is much more complex.
Eyes are composed of more than 2 million parts. According to an observation the average
person blink his eyes 12 times in a minute. The eyeball of a human weighs approximately 28
grams. By the age of 7 years old our eyes are fully developed and are physiologically the same
as adult’s eyes. The space between your eyebrows is called the Glabella. Eyes contribute towards
85% of your total knowledge.
Carrots, loaded with beta carotene are especially helpful in maintaining healthy eyes.
Goggles or something other should be wear to protect eyes while working with chemicals or any
place with harmful airborne particulates.
