POST 13

I think the best part of our bodies is the EYE. Probably you ask why? Well through there is where enter the visual information, I mean, the colours, faces, the first impression and the one of the most important things ever… the letters, without eyes we couldn’t read, just imagine a world without books. My mother always said to me the part that I should care more than another, it should be the eye.

The eyes are an organs of visual system, located into the head, that shows a part of it, toward outside. They are responsible for detect the light and turn it in an electro-chemical impulse through the retina.

An eye is compound of the cornea, the pupil, the lens, the vitreous gel, the retina and the optical nerve.

How an eye works? Basically, the light enters the cornea, the window of the eye, the pupil helps to regulate the light that enters the eye, the lens works focusing the object that we are looking, the vitreous gel helps to maintain the shape of the eye, finally the retina turn this light information, just like I´ve said, in an electro-chemical impulse, this impulse is carried to the brain by the optical nerve.

There a lot of illnesses that affect the eye but the more important are myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Actually I have myopia and astigmatism, so appreciate your eyes, my eyes are of the glass.
