INTERESTING EYE FACTS:
↠ A fingerprint has 40 unique characteristics, but an iris has 256, a reason retina scans are increasingly being used for security purposes.
↠ Eyes are the second most complex organ after the brain.
↠ “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.
↠ 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.
↠ The cells in your eye come in different shapes. Rod-shaped cells allow you to see shapes, and cone-shaped cells allow you to see color.
↠ Eyes start to develop two weeks after you are conceived.
↠ Each eye has a small blind spot in the back of the retina where the optic nerve attaches. You don’t notice the hole in your vision because your eyes work together to fill in each other’s blind spot.
↠ Your eyeballs stay the same size from birth to death, while your nose and ears continue to grow.
