THINGS ABOUT EYES

NEWBORNS DON’T PRODUCE TEARS

In spite of their crying sounds; babies tears don’t begin to flow

until they’re around 4 to 13 weeks old.

DOCTORS HAVE YET TO FIND A WAY TO DO

EYEBALL TRANSPLANTS

The optic nerve, which connects the eyes to the brain, is too

sensitive to successfully reconstruct.

EYE MEASUREMENTS

On average, an eyeball is about an inch in diameter and

weighs around 0.25 ounces.

HETEROCHROMIA

This eye condition happens when a person is born with two

different coloured eyes.

EYE MUSCLES

Out of every muscle in the body, the ones that control the eyes

happen to be the most active.

WORKING PARTS

Your eyes are made up of more than two million working parts to

make them fully functional.

SHARK EYES

Shark corneas are very similar to the ones we humans have.

Because of that similarity, they’ve been used as replacements in

human eye surgeries.

CURABLE CONDITIONS

80% of vision problems around the world are avoidable or even curable.

Advancements in lasik surgery as well as preventive care through

supplements and diets contribute to this.
