- your eyes are composed of more than 2 million working parts
- we all have microscopic creatures lurking in our eyelashes
- the average person blinks 12 times per minute – about 10,000 blinks in an average day
- there are 3 types of colour blindness, total colour blindness, an inability to see one colour and an impairment, not loss, of normal colour vision. All 3 have sub groups of related specific colour vision problems. Also colour blindness is more common in males
- only 1/6th of your eyeball is exposed to the outside world
- the muscles that move the eye are the strongest relative to their size in the body
- your eyes begin to develop 2 weeks after conception
- your eyelashes work like windshields to catch dust and debris before they reach the eyeball
- your eyes will never wear out
- at birth your eyes are about 70% of their adult size, but your nose and ears never stop growing
- the entire length of all the eyelashes shed by a human in their life is over 98 feet (30 m).
- the older we are the less tears we produce.
Hi good day,
Its really amazing to read about eyes as im very interested in how the eyes work for your body and how the eye see’s the picture and sends it to the part of our memorie and stores it,and never forgets it or sees it differently than the first time,even if its imagining it.
thanks and good work.

My opthamOligist said ur eye grows. Bigger thts why people can’t have laser til there 21 because ur eye is fully developed
Reliable ophthalmologists will require a complete history of prescriptions etc., before contemplating laser eye surgery at the absolute minimum age of eighteen years.
i thought strongest muscle is your heart?
Hello Aaron
The eye muscles are the strongest in proportion to their size.
