SENSE OF SIGHT
•The eye is one of the most remarkable
achievements of evolution, and has evolved
up to 40 times in different parts of the
animal kingdom. In humans, vision is the
most important sense, and much of the
brain is given over to the processing of
visual information. Perhaps you are getting
bored so here are some facts about our
eyes. Listen carefully huh?
•We don’t often give our eyes as
much thought as we should, that is
until something goes wrong and
our vision is affected. But when you
learn more about eyes, you realize
just how amazing they are. Here are
a few facts you may enjoy: ( I think
so? )
FACTS ABOUT EYES
1. Eyes began to develop 550 million years ago. The simplest eyes were patches of
photoreceptor protein in single-celled animals.
2. Your eyes start to develop two weeks after you are conceived.
3. The entire length of all the eyelashes shed by a human in their life is over 98 feet with
each eye lash having a life span of about 5 months.
4. To protect our eyes they are positioned in a hollowed eye socket, while eyebrows
prevent sweat dripping into your eyes and eyelashes keep dirt out of your eyes.
FACTS ABOUT EYES
5. Your eyeballs stay the same size from birth to death, while your nose and ears
continue to grow.
6. An eye is composed of more than 2 million working parts.
7. Only 1/6 of the human eyeball is exposed.
8. Corneas are the only tissues that don’t have blood.
9. The human eye weights approximately just under an ounce and is about an inch
across.
FACTS ABOUT EYES
10. An eye cannot be transplanted. More than 1 million nerve fibers connect each eye to the
brain and currently we’re not able to reconstruct those connections.
11. 80% of our memories are determined by what we see.
12. Eyes heal quickly. With proper care, it takes only about 48 hours to repair a minor corneal
scratch.
13. There are about 39 million people that are blind around the world.
14. 80% of vision problems worldwide are avoidable or even curable.
FACTS ABOUT EYES
15. Humans and dogs are the only species known to seek visual cues from another
individual’s eyes, and dogs only do this when interacting with humans.
16. A fingerprint has 40 unique characteristics, but an iris has 256, a reason retina scans
are increasingly being used for security purposes.
17. People who are blind can see their dreams if they weren’t born blind.
FACTS ABOUT EYES
18. “Red eye” occurs in photos because light from the flash bounces off the back of the
eye. The choroid is located behind the retina and is rich in blood vessels, which make it
appear red on film.
19. 80% of what we learn is through our eyes.
20. Eyes are the second most complex organ after the brain.
DISEASES
THIS PART MAY BE
TOO BORING BUT WE
NEED TO BE AWARE
OF SUCH DISEASES.
ACANTHAMOEBA KERATITIS
•A rare but serious eye
infection associated with poor
contact lens hygiene and
other factors.
AMBLYOPIA (LAZY EYE)
•Is a vision development
problem in infants and young
children that can lead to
permanent vision loss.
ASTIGMATISM
•Usually caused by an
irregular cornea,
astigmatism causes blur at
all distances.
BELL'S PALSY
This condition causes sudden
paralysis of one side of the
face. Because it affects
blinking, it can cause severe
dry eye.
RED EYES -
Can be caused by
allergies, eye infections
and eye injuries.
THANK YOU FOR
READING (IF
EVER) 
HOW TO
MAINTAIN GOOD
EYE SIGHT
• 1. Eat for Good Vision
• Protecting your eyes starts with the food on your plate. Nutrients such
as omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zinc, and vitamins C and E might help
ward off age-related vision problems such as macular degeneration
and cataracts, studies show. Regularly eating these foods can help
lead to good eye health:
• Green, leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, and collards
• Salmon, tuna, and other oily fish
• Eggs, nuts, beans, and other non-meat protein sources
• Oranges and other citrus fruits or juices
2. Quit Smoking
• Smoking makes you more likely to get cataracts, optic
nerve damage, and macular degeneration. If you've tried
to quit smoking before and started smoking again, keep
trying. The more times you try to quit smoking, the more
likely you are to succeed.
3. Look Away From the Computer Screen
Staring at a computer screen for too long can cause:
• Eyestrain
• Blurry vision
There are many
more ways to
maintain a good eye
