YOUR EYES ARE INCREDIBLE
The average blink is 1/10 of a second
The eyes are the second most complex part of your body-only
surpassed in complexity by the brain
Only 1/6th of the eye is exposed to the human world
A fingerprint contains 40 unique traits, and eyes contain 256,
hence the reason retina security scans are more secure
The length of the eye determines how good your vision is
When it comes to sight, 50% or more of your brain
gets involved
Newborns have audible cries but no tears to go along with them
until about four months old
Eye scratches heal quickly-usually within 48 hours unless
infection occurs
Humans are blind for about 40 minutes per day because
of Saccadic masking-the body's way of reducing motion
blur as objects and eyes move
20/20 isn't perfect vision, it's actually normal vision—it means
you can see what an average person sees from 20 feet
Eyes manage 80 percent of all information you will ever take in
An average person blinks 5.2 million times per year (17 times per
minute, 14,280 times in 14 hours, 5.2M times per year)
Diabetes can be detected through eye exams
An eye has more than 2,000,000 working parts
If one of your eyes were a digital camera, it'd have
576 megapixels
