HERE ARE THE 9 AMAZING FACTS ABOUT OUR EYES

Ophthalmologist Dr. she shared interesting information about our eyes that we do not know, saying that all babies are colorblind from birth, and tears do not fall out when they cry.

Turkey Medicals member and hospital clinic Eye Diseases Specialist. Doctor, emphasizing that the eyes are the most important organ located between the 5 senses, he said, “Thanks to our eyes, we see the objects around us in 3-D. Thanks to the blind spots located in both eyes, depth perception is also created. In addition, there are some interesting unknown facts about our eyes.” Turkish Eye Specialist Doctor listed these interesting information that we will be surprised to hear about our eyes as follows:

“All babies are colorblind from birth: The color perception of babies has been detected by various tests. At the age of about 1 month, the brightness and intensity of the colors can be detected. a 3-month-old baby, on the other hand, can see many primary colors, including red. Around the 4th month color vision fully develops.

A newborn baby does not shed tears when he cries: Because the production of tears is carried out by the tear gland located in the outer upper part of the eye it starts 1 per month, and the full production capacity it reaches 3 a month.

Newborn babies can see objects at a distance of about 20-40 cm most clearly: the baby has a light perception in the womb, and this is not considered full vision. A newborn baby can distinguish light and dark when he is born. Eye contact begins at the age of 3 months, the baby’s visual coordination improves, and he can usually follow the moving object with his eyes. The eye muscles are November 6. it develops per month.

Lenses do not disappear behind the eye: Contrary to urban legend, no contact lens can ‘disappear’ behind your eye due to the structure of your eyeball. The upper and lower x-rays of the eye are covered with a transparent structure called the conjunctiva, and there is no transition into the orbit here. It may have escaped under your top cover. You can check it by turning the lid over. If the lens is not in your eye, we recommend that you look for it on the floor or on your desk.”

In fact, we see everything upside down

Eye specialist. Dr. stating that we see everything upside down, but the main organ that turns the image up correctly is our brain, he also said:

“The light passes through the pupil and reaches the lens. It breaks a second time in the lens, and then passes through the glassy object and falls to the point of vision located in the upper layer. Here the reverse image occurs. The reverse image formed in the brain is perceived, located at the point of vision, and the brain and nerves are transported to the center of vision. In the visual center located in the brain, the opposite image is perceived flatly, and thus the visual event takes place.”

Ophthalmologist Dr. continued his remarks as follows:

The eye is the fastest muscle in your body. That’s why when something happens quickly, we say, ”In the blink of an eye.”

The human eye can work 100 percent at any moment, without the need for rest.

If the human eye were a digital camera, it would have 576 megapixels.The resolution means that to create a display with such a sharp and clear image that you can not distinguish individual pixels, you need to place 576 million pixels in an area the size of your field of view. Our eye is more like a detective, it collects clues from the surrounding, then takes them to the brain to decipher the pieces together and create a complete picture. However, when it comes to our daily visual experience, it remains very easy to describe the eye with megapixels.
.

We blink an average of about 4 million times a year. As a rule, the average person blinks 10-12 times a minute, and the time between two decapitations varies between 2-10 seconds. Blinking is very important for the distribution of tears on the surface of the eye. Computer use can reduce the number of clippings by half during reading.
