Something to Ponder..
The sense of sight is a scientifically complicated one and of the five senses it is the most complex.

When we focus our eyes on something we are actually “seeing” beams of light reflecting off the object and into your eyes. The cornea is a thick, transparent protective layer that protects the eye and the pupil is the dark circle in the center of your eyes the light passes through these two places until it reaches the lens. The amount of light contracts and expands the iris, which is the colored ring around the eye. A lot of light makes the pupil shrink and vice versa thereby controlling the amount of light the eye takes in at any given moment. Then the lens does its job of focusing on the object. The retina is filled with about 150 million light sensitive cells that are rods, which work best in low light and cones that function best in bright light and colors. Both these types of cells send the information about the object to the brain via the optic nerve. The image is delivered upside down. The brain turns the image right side up and registers the image in the visual cortex and tells us what we are looking at.
