I have been looking at eyes today (get it!!)
- The human eye can distinguish 2.7 million different colours.
- You blink 12 times per minute and 10,000 times a day.
- Eyes can process 36,000 pieces of information per hour.
- The pupil expands 45% when you look at someone you love.
- At birth your eyes are 70% of their adult size.
- Eyes ‘see’ upside down but the brain corrects it for us.
- Eye transplants are not possible (yet) because we can’t get the nerves quite right.
- After the brain, the eyes are our most complex organ.
- Eyes can heal scratches (to the eye) in 48 hours.
- The average blink takes one tenth of a second.
WOW!!! Eyes are amazing, and that’s without Superman’s lazer eyes!
We are currently working on our Mesolithic clan language and standard. We are the WOLFOX clan.
Great facts Caspian! I like your clan name. Looking forward to seeing your clan language on the blog 🙂
Eyes really are amazing Caspian! Some fantastic facts here – great work. Looking forward to seeing your clan language!
Wow a lot them i didn’t know! :O
I agree, eyes are amazing, Caspian – great facts. I know someone who has had a cornea transplant and someone who has had partially detached retina re-attached. It is amazing what can be done.
