Eye

Your eyes are the sensory organs that allow you to see. Your eyes capture visible light from the world around you and turn it into a form your brain uses to create your sense of vision. Your brain doesn’t have sensory abilities of its own. It needs your eyes (and other senses, like hearing and touch) to gather information about the world around you.

Humans have binocular vision. The right and left eye each see a slightly different view. The brain combines the two views and the result is a three-dimensional image

Common eye complaints

cataracts –the lens of the eye becomes cloudy

conjunctivitis –inflammation of the membrane covering the eye

glaucoma –a build-up of fluid inside the eyeball

Vision Problems –like long-sightedness or short- sightedness
