SEE!
The human eyes can see 500 shades of Grey
And other eye-opening facts
The human eye is a sensory organ
Part of the sensory nervous system
The eye reacts to visible light
Allowing humans to use visual information for various purposes
Seeing things, keeping balance, and maintaining circadian rhythm.
One actually sees with the brain, not the eyes
The eye functions like a camera, capturing light
Thus sending data back to the brain
We actually see things upside down
It is the brain which turns the image the right way up
If the eyes were digital cameras
They would have 576 megapixels
The eye is the fastest muscle in your body
When something happens really quickly
It is said to be done 'in the blink of an eye'
Health conditions like Diabetes and High blood pressure
May be detected from a test within the eyes
The Glabella is the space between your eyebrows

Try to maintain an intact film of tears by the following actions:

(Video display unit)
Increasing these two actions might help maintain a tear film.
Downward gazing is recommended to reduce ocular surface area and water evaporation.
The distance between the VDU and keyboard should be kept as short as possible to minimize evaporation from the ocular surface area by a low direction of the gaze
Blink training can be beneficial.

Appearing anywhere within the universe?

Novel, this was such an eye opening piece! (Please forgive the horrible pun! 😂) But seriously, I learned a loud I didn’t know about the human eye, the fact that we read slower on a screen than paper makes a lot of sense to me! I always wondered why I felt faster on the page than online!
Most insightful and brilliant! Now where is my hydrogen-alpha filter?
