10 Fact You May Not Have Known About Your Own Eyes But Should by Ithee(m): 12:47am On Apr 24, 2015
The eye is one of the most delicate and important part of the human body which we can partially do without, but the fact that it aid vision makes it necessary for us to be called a complete human being. Here are the top 10 fact you should know about the eye


1. Your eyes can get
sunburned.

UVA and UVB lights affect your eyes just as much as they affect your skin.
Although there won't be any visible damage to your eyes, a sunburn can cause them to hurt. That's
why wearing sunglasses is super important.

2. People with blues eyes might all share the same ancestor.
University of Copenhagen researchers discovered that a genetic mutation that first appeared thousands of years ago led people to develop blue eyes. Before that, everyone's eyes were
brown.

3. Dogs communicate with us by looking into our eyes.
Studies have shown the dogs perceive cues from humans by looking at their eyes. This is very similar to how babies learn to interpret cues.

4. Some blind people can see in their dreams.
People who once had their sight and later lost it have reported that they can still see in their dreams.

5. We blink 28,000 times a day.
We blink about 15-20
times a minute. This
lubricates the eye but
researchers also believe it's a way to give our brains short breaks.

6. Being near or far
sighted has to do with
the length of your eye.

Nearsighted people have longer eyeballs and people with shorter ones are farsighted.

7. Some people have a fear of eyes.
Ommatophobia is the fear of eyes. If you hate making eye contact or your eye doctor makes you squeamish, you may
have this fear.

8. The structure of your eye initially causes it to view your surroundings as upside down. Once
your brain perceives the image, it's flipped right-side up.

The structure of the eye causes it to view your surroundings as upside first. Once your brain perceives the image, it's flip right-side up.

9. 20/20 vision is not perfect, it's just normal.
The best recorded vision in history is actually 20/10.

10. The human eye can detect more than 10million colors.
The more you see, the more you realise you don't know
