The eye give us the power and decipher the hues and angles of objects in the universe by processing the light they reflect or give off.
The eye is able to see in dim light or bright light, but it cannot see objects when light is not present The eye changes light rays into electrical signals then sends them to the brain, which interprets these electrical signals as visual images.
The eye is set in a protective cone-shaped crater in the head called the orbit and measures approximately one inch in diameter.
The orbit is surrounded by layers of soft, fatty tissue which defend the eye and enable it to turn easily. 6 muscles regulate the movement of the eye. Among the more important parts of the human eye are the iris,cornea, lens, retina, conjunctiva, macula, and the optic nerve.
