Amazing facts about the eye…

I have been using eye-drops for about 3 days now thanks to a small infection that i got and this got me thinking about how we take our eyes for granted. A good example is we wake up in the morning and the 1st thing we do is open our eyes without a thought of how it happens. Through the day we use our eyes and they only get to rest when we go back to bed. This lead me to research about it and find out more about it……….
.Eyes are the most complex organs you possess right after your brain. This is because the muscles that move your eyes are the STRONGEST muscles in the human body for the job they do. They are 100 times more powerful than they need to be!!!! This is contrary to how sensitive they look.
.The eye is the only part of the human body that can function at 100% ability at any moment, day or night, without rest. That means the eye being alone, would be able to function for your whole lifespan open! Your eyelids, external muscles require rest. Even the lubricants require replenishment but your eyes themselves “never” need rest.
.Eyes utilize 65% of all the pathways to the brain. This means that most of the information we take up from the environment is picked through the sense of sight.
. Eyes are composed of more than two million working parts. It has the highest number of working parts in the body.
.Lastly, Eyes are your most precious sense… so do care for your eyes properly! Enjoy your day!
