Did you know that your eyes are among the most incredible organs in your body?

I’m sure you didn’t. else you won’t be maltreating them like that.
you know yourself

The human eye is truly remarkable…in ways you never thought.

Don’t worry, I’m not here to bore you with some big words. Just to expose you to the “super powers” those eyes of yours have, and why you should never take them for granted

  • Did you know that the human eye has a resolution of around 576 megapixels?

    The latest iPhone camera(upon how e mad) is only 48 megapixels! Basically, your eyes have the power of twelve iphone 16 cams!

    That’s massive!

    this makes your eyes capable of detecting even the smallest change in shade, tone and even texture of colors. Allowing you to see each detail of an object.

Mind blowing…yeah?

It doesn’t stop there

  • Another remarkable ability of the human eye is its ability to adapt.

    The eye is so sensitive that it can detect and adjust to changes in light intensity(una wey get low current😁), and can adjust to objects at different distances

And it does all these in just a fraction of a second.

  • The human eye is also capable of perceiving an astonishing range of colors

    with some research suggesting that we can see over 10 million different colors. no wonder women wan finish us with color names…which one is pepper red, onion pink💔.

  • The human eye is also incredibly sensitive to movement, with some studies suggesting that we can detect movements as small as 1/100th of a degree!

    Have you ever had this experience where you’re focused on a movie, and something fast(say an insect) passed. You didn’t quite see the insect, but you know you saw something.

    That’s your eye sensing a movement so fast that by the time your brain processes it, it's long gone

But did you know that the eye can also detect movement in the peripheral vision,

That’s basically being able to see things with your side eye while focusing on another thing(Ladies can relate well😁😁)

Your eyes are actually capable of so much more.

But I'll have to wrap it up here for tonight.

I hope you enjoyed and learnt something new today.

We go again tomorrow.

But for now...

Goodnight

I didn't know many of these details, it's true that every day you learn something new. When I work in front of a computer I use my eyes a lot, so I try to take care of them.

True.

And I'm glad you try to take care of your eyes.

Don't worry, soon I will share practical steps on how we the heavy computer users can better care for our eyes
