Know the power of your eyes!

Having good visual health allows us to admire everything that surrounds us, but most of the time we do not think about all the effort that our eyes make to visualize the simplest thing that we have at our disposal.

According to the doctor José Luis Merino Saldaña, member of the Mexican Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology, He details that vision is an essential part of the sensory system of the human being, so more than 80% of the information we receive is through this sense.

 

Know the power of your eyes!

The ability of sight is not only to observe objects or enjoy a beautiful landscape, but it goes beyond what we can imagine. To give you an idea, we present you five things that you did not know about your eyes:

 

  1. The view can work where the level of illumination is a million times smaller than a sunny day, for example, on a clear night without a moon.
  2. They adapt to the darkness between five and 10 minutes.
  3. They have the ability to perform specific functions such as pupillary opening.
  4. They are able to distinguish light from a candle 22 kilometers away, if atmospheric conditions allow it and your visual health is optimal.
  5. They blink ten million times in a year

The specialist ensures that the sense of sight provides a perception of the image, favors the development of a visual memory, the consciousness of the self, as well as locating objects in space and the relationship with the environment.

Therefore, it is important that you take care of your eyes, that is, visit your ophthalmologist regularly to avoid the development of diseases that put your eye health at risk. And you, how do you protect the sense of sight?
